1) muscle takes more energy to maintain, building muscle requires even more, this effects your basal metabolic rate and metabolism which allows for more caloric in take.
Not disputing that. This whole discussion has never been about building muscle. Adding muscle whilst losing fat was a "side effect" of me resuming training after an 11 month break from training. I've stated this numerous times
2) Insulin prevents the body from burning fat.
Does it? Because when I asked you to explain my results you attributed it to "Your fucking metabolism you mouth breather."
I then asked you to qualify your two statements as follows: Insulin prevents the body from burning fat, (unless you have a similar metabolism to Ossoi)
3) what you did was not just weight loss
No shit, never claimed it was. Stated multiple times I care about body composition (fat loss and muscle preservation/gain)
4) Caloric restrictive diets lower your metabolism, time restrictive diets (intermittent fasting) increases your metabolism.
Then explain my results and repeated cuts to 10% body fat and below
__________________________________
This debate, has from my perspective, always been about the accuracy of these two claims:
1. You can’t burn fat when you constantly spike your insulin, when you only spike your insulin once you spend longer time in fat burning mode. You switch from burning food you eat to burning your fat stores. Your body increases its metabolism to give you more energy when you fast for prolonged periods, your stuck on a calorie in calorie out mentality when the body doesn’t work that way."
2. Sorry but constantly spiking your insulin levels all day is going to lead to insulin resistance, obesity and diabetes."
We can also add: 3. If your priority is losing fat you are doing it wrong, sorry.
After repeatedly asking you to qualify those first two statements against my results I'm still not sure of your position/response.
You seem to say, "it's possible for you because your increased muscle mass increases your metabolism"
Yet that would seem to contradict 4. Caloric restrictive diets lower your metabolism
So do I have an increased metabolism or a lowered one?
(edit and based on your current weight vs mine, the claims of "you could have done it better" are the literal equivalent of someone yelling "you suck" from the audience at Lebron
