Is that a diet trend? It seems more like a base assumption to me...

jaromp

Sorry. The trend seems to be ignoring my statement

Slim

7/16/20 10:15am

Overly simplistic. Sell. Hormones, insulin, etc... all play a role. I can

You can't gain weight with a caloric deficit even if you are on insulin

Slim

7/16/20 10:24am

It's about how fast you lose it, what type of weight you lose, muscle or fat or

So a caloric deficit will lead to weight loss. Got it. I'm not advocating irresponsible and unsustainable caloric

Slim

Of course it will. But when we are talking weight loss we are refering to fat

Caloric deficit will lead to weight loss. That is my point. How to do this in a manner that is sustainable

Hormones may effect the calories out, but calories in vs calories out is the

What does that have to do with anything? If you consume more calories than you use, you'll gain and if you use more than

False. Your body is extremely efficient. It can adjust for less calories and

Then you adjust your caloric intake or increase exercise to maintain a caloric deficit

Slim

7/16/20 10:38am

Yes, you can do that. But if you factor in the role of insulin, etc... and how

WTY? It's like people are posting something and you're replying, "No! It's actually [what that person just wrote]."

What are you talking about? I'm saying CICO is true. But it is not the end all

CougarTailDevourer

7/16/20 10:51am

My statement was "above all else" of course there are nuances on how to do it in a sustainable manner and stay healthy.

Slim

7/16/20 10:58am

The jury is still out for me on the CICO trend. On one hand it's good because it

CougarTailDevourer

Wait, so if you stop doing what you were doing to lose, you gain weight back?

cougaman

7/16/20 11:23am

Yes, but you may actually gain weight back much faster and will continue to gain

That does absolutely nothing whatsoever to refute my comment.

Byron McNertney

7/16/20 10:42am

It absolutely does. If you're trying to say all that matters is CICO than

CougarTailDevourer

7/16/20 10:46am

I think you're reading way more into my posts than I actually wrote. Everything you said falls under the CICO umbrella.

Agreed. Some foods are metabolized differently than others.

I agree with all these except I'd change 7 and 9 to hold.

Completely disagree with you on dairy. Data is strong that dairy is solid

Thanks for sharing, I don't doubt you're right.

The problem with these studies is that they are not differentiating the type

Lol, fake doc posts OP, gets tons of support. Real doc/very fit guy posts in thread, gets arguments. Never change CB

Haven't seen other thread, but being a doctor doesn't mean you know nutrition

Medute

Let’s get to the point: are you saying Slim doesn’t know what he’s talking about?

They're arguing past each other.

I have no idea...maybe?

Medute

I don't 100% agree with 7 and 8. Plenty of research showing that every person has a sensitivity to these things

Can you share sources on Alzheimer’s and dairy?
