Eating less does not result in weight loss
RLW writes:
There are other articles which show that type of calories consumed can affect fat loss, if one cares to look. There are articles that appear to show all kinds of things. The ones having to do with diet are notoriously unreliable, because imposing the strict controls necessary to obtain truly reliable results often is impractical or even unethical. -- Transpose hotmail and mxsmanic in my e-mail address to reach me directly. |

Eating less does not result in weight loss

Fat does, true, if you guzzle it. However, have you actually *tried* to eat plain fat ? A few days ago I tried to eat some straight virgin olive oil, and it was quite a chore! I managed three tablespoons before I felt queasy, and I like the taste of olive oil, too. Of course, that was still equivalent to a sandwich. -- Transpose hotmail and mxsmanic in my e-mail address to reach me directly. |

Do you actually know anything about dieting other than the stuff you readf in the checkout stand at the market? Everything I know about dieting comes from sources outside the checkout line. -- Transpose hotmail and mxsmanic in my e-mail address to reach me directly. |

Eating less does not result in weight loss

But Mr. Snyder is not talking of being in a coma, on a precisely controlled feeding regimin - he is talking about lying in bed consuming food all day. He is suggesting notions that are incorrect. There is a slight increase in metabolism while eating, because energy must be expended to digest food and absorb nutrients, but it is trivial--not nearly as significant as he would seem to wish to have others believe. -- Transpose hotmail and mxsmanic in my e-mail address to reach me directly. |

I certainly haven't seen you provide any FACTS to support your wild-eyed theories. I expect intelligent people to do their own research, by consulting reliable sources. They should never believe what they read here without independent verification. -- Transpose hotmail and mxsmanic in my e-mail address to reach me directly. |

If you discount any research you don't agree with because it may be 'unreliable', how can you possibly come to any logical conclusion about anything related to diet? And what's the point of debating the subject? Rowena |

There is no such difference. If obesity were genetically determind, then Europeans would be just as fat as Americans, since they have the same genes. But Europeans are much thinner, so clearly the obesity of Americans is not genetic. On what is this assertation based? |

Bob Ward writes: Eating less doesn't necessarily GUARANTEE weight loss. It does if it results in consuming fewer calories than you burn. Otherwise it does not. But eating less often CAUSES you to burn less calories -- so the simple equation is obviously invalid. You don't burn less than your BMR, no matter what you eat. Absurd. There is no such thing as a BMR. If I lie in bed all day and eat, I will consume more calories than I will if I lie in bed all day and fast. I thought that BMR was defined as the number of calories burned to fuel essential bodily processes and keep organs and tissues in working order. I'm not sure what calorie consumption has to do with that. |
