I'm not unaware of life on usenet with the trolls, shut-ins, and "experts". I just thought it funny and extreme that I am accused of lying about a measly 1 lb weight loss! You can't make it up.

Is there a book with that title perhaps? I remember someone posting "You on a diet" and asking about it before I'd ever seen the book by that title. ... *I just thought it funny and extreme that I am accused of lying about a measly 1 lb weight loss! *You can't make it up.. There are biochemical reasons that a short term change in total calorie intake and/or a short term change in the carb:fatrotein ratios can trigger increased base metabolism and thus loss. The folks who think "a calorie is a calorie is a calorie" is more than a usually useful approximation and the folks who think that "calories in equals calories out" has the calories-out side fixed tend to not believe such easily repeated experiments. What you described is a very common stall busting strategy so I found it easy to believe. |

I wasn't bragging, only reporting how great it is to be on vacation, eat LC at a buffet, exercise, and still get a decent result. I still can't figure out why anyone would take issue with this? If I said I lost 10 lbs in 5 days of mad eating, I could see that being challenged. -- "When you win, nothing hurts".... Joe Namath JK www.MyConeyIslandMemories.com |

People who have tidy little simple models for how things work don't like the reality that the human body is far more complex than they wish so they get upset when the complex realities break the simplist models. I have long since become convinced that's why. Folks want lower carb to be better no matter how low lower is, yet there isn't a single popular low carb book that says that. Authors spend a decade or more working on their books so it would be amazing if even one of them had failed to try such a simple and obvious strategy. Folks want lower calorie to be better no matter studies that show consistant refeeds resulting from extreme low calorie times. Folks search for extreme examples and use them to discount metabolic advantages and metabolic resets. Folks want it to be simpler than it really is. There are even folks that want moderation to work yet a single trip to the mall to glance at the crowd proves that moderation fails for vast numbers of dieters. Do some of these people actually believe there's even one fat person in a hundred who hasn't tried and failed many times at moderation? I've sure never heard of anyone overweight who hasn't tried that. |

I've sure never heard of anyone overweight who hasn't tried that. Irony is that now that I found this new and more moderate method that's producing really good results for me, I just found out that I am insulin resistant, and may have to go back to a somewhat stricter LC plan. I'm experimenting now with eating more frequent smaller meals, while exercising. Doc assures me that as I lose more weight, it will help. Hoping for the best. -- "Never bet on the end of the world because it's only going to happen once and how are you going to collect?" JK www.MyConeyIslandMemories.com |
