This is quite the thread.

k

grunch: Just go to the Health and Fatness subforum and read ilovepoker929's thread on the optimal human diet, ez game.

For New Years I gave up sugary drinks (lol resolutions)

I try to bike when I can but other than that I changed nothing and lost 10lbs in 30 days. Pretty much a sugar addict so it was hard at first but it’s easy now.

Im 5’11 and it was 210>200.

Nothing revolutionary obv, just sharing bc 10lbs in 4 weeks just from not drinking coke surprised me.

Junk food is next, but has proven much, much harder to give up. I don’t eat a lot as it is, but would like to elimate it entirely which is proving difficult.

If people just did the bold, there would be no fat people. Isn't it something like 73% of all food at the grocery store contains added sugar? You would think Skippy Natural Peanut Butter would be natural, but it has a bunch of added sugar.

More regarding A, a person doesn't need to count calories. Instead of eating a box of pasta, eat half a box. Instead of 6 slices of pizza, have 4 slices of pizza. Even so, if someone lost, let's say, 60 lbs by strict calorie counting and then has to monitor their food for the rest of their life, they would eventually understand and be acclimated to proper portion sizes. My brother lost like 80 lbs over 20 years ago and he has kept it off. He doesn't count ****, and he bakes bread - several times a week. Counting calories is a tool to understand portion sizes.

Ok so here is where I'm at, feel free to school: Cutting down on sugar, flour-based stuff, starches/grains, dairy and doing avocados, fish, asparagus/carrots/brussels, steak, chicken. In moderation, enjoying sourdough bread, mashed, cheese, dessert every now and again.

I learned from Thremp that brown rice is no better than white (maybe even worse, but I can't be bothered to check). White potatoes are great for loosing weight (source: they make my belly full so I can't eat more).

27, that sounds as good as any plan if it's something you can comply with while maintaining a calorie deficit. Colin's post pretty much nails it and there's really nothing more to say, which is why I was compelled to post.

I've said it before, I'll say it again: for your potatoes, buy an actifry.

You can get potatoes for two with one spoon of olive oil, still 90% tastes like you fried them. Game changer !

literally ate 5 krispy kreme donuts a little over an hour ago and still feel like absolute **** and kinda achey/sick.


when I was in college i went about 5years eating once a day, Fridays I would eat an entire large pizza by myself.

i thought wating only once a day slowed your metabolism down to a crawl but I guess i was intermittent fasting without knowing it

Well, heh, I was just speaking with regard to the hunger response due to the insulin spike differences between the two, not how much arsenic is in the rice. That's funny that Thremp went Thremp on rice, considering he aids'd me up for a week on how mercury in tuna is fine despite people getting rekt eating a couple of cans a day and the FDA says to only eat it like twice a week tops. I guess if rice contained 25g of protein and no carbs per 120 calories, he'd be fine with rice.

This all comes down to fatty cold water fish, period. Have you ever seen a fat guy who eats 3 pounds of mackerel a day? I submit that you have not.

Joe Thomas, former NFL player, has had amazing results doing Keto and Intermittent Fasting. Look at these pics:

He tweeted two "easy" steps...skip breakfast and don't eat a lot of carbs.

Add Intermittent Fasting. If you could eat all your food in an 8 hour window or so (do 10 if you have to), I think you'll see better results.

Skipping breakfast lol, what kind of madness is this? First thing you should do in the morning is eat three cans of sardine filets (packed in spring water!) chewing 15 times for each bite, and then move on with your life.

I do like how we now have the term "intermittent fasting" to refer to the act of occasionally not eating, an admittedly solid diet strategy. I know that in a lot of cultures they segregate eating activities into special "meal" periods. Wish that would catch on more in the US.

20:4 or 22:2 bro. Might as well go for broke.

This thread, lol.

Imagine how much he could have lost by skipping breakfast, lunch and dinner. I am pretty sure the average person doing a hunger strike has pretty impressive weight loss results.

Not sure if he’s still doing it, but at least in the past Dwayne Johnson’s diet looked like this:
https://fivethirtyeight.com/features...-cod-per-year/

Among the more than 5k calories/day are over 500g of carbs and the guy looks pretty fit.

821 pounds of cod per year - that is what I am talking about mother ****ers. That is what it is all about.

PSA: be careful not to eat only Pacific cod. Remember when buying your cod that Atlantic cod is has the higher proportion of Leucine. One pound of your daily cod intake at a minimum should come from Atlantic stocks.

Lol at acting like estimating maintenance and caloric intake is in any way difficult or cumbersome

im trying to lose a bit of flab and I'm just not buying bad stuff. if it isn't in the cupboard you can't eat it. It's harder to get up and go to the supermarket to buy bad things than it is to sit on the couch not eating bad things.

my last grocery list was mushrooms, cabbage, potatoes, kale, rocket, some pasta sauce, goat's cheese, pork ribs. natural stuff. some of it is fatty stuff too but all in moderation.

That forum is horrible, it's all just boring ass blogs. They should make a sub forum for it for all that mess so people can actually talk about science in that forum. I love health and fitness and I gave up on that forum a decade ago.
