Let's see your weight loss - Page 16

What evidence do you have that eating lard will cause high cholesterol? What makes you think it's possible to consume the same amount of sugar that's been refined and processed into a doughnut, in the form of vegetables? Wouldn't the fiber fill you up before you could achieve such a feat? Not to mention, simultaneously lower the rate of glucose absorption, and subsequent spike in insulin secretion?

Oh my bad.

Consuming too many carbs can cause high cholesterol as well. Carbs break down into sugar which then are stored as fat. Saturated fat isn't bad for us, contrary to popular belief.

That's what I'm getting at.

I'm agreeing with you.

I know. So am I.

Hey, mm84321, you know circumnavigating a ban is itself bannable right?

Legendary threak, Taubes is ALREADY up in this bitch. All we need now is some paleo and no gluten thing and this shit will reach greatness. Making diet comparisons between, say, an adequate protein 2000 cal diet and an isocaloric diet containing barely anything consisting mostly of sugar is retarded.

Back in 2006, I list over 100 lbs. in about 6 months. Unfortunately, I don't have any of my old pics. I hate myself so much, that I destroyed any visual proof of me ever being fat. I've kept it off since that time. Weight loss isn't nearly as hard as some people in here are making it out to be. Weight loss is mostly about going back to the basics, that's really about it. Don't bother trying to challenge that statement because I won't debate or argue about it.

I'd have to concur with that. I had convinced myself your years that it was all too hard, until I got a health scare last year. It was impressed on me that I had no choice. In just 6 months I have lost more than 20 kilos and now weigh what I did a quarter-century ago.

All that took was a shift in my dietary habits. I got to keep on eating a lot of things that I like, but had to totally eliminate the rubbish. I only needed to marginally increase my exercise; I still do not go to the gym, or run, or anything dramatic.

What I found worked is having a plan I can stick to in my lifestyle, and sticking to it. Taking it to extremes in either diet or exercise is self-defeating, because you will eventually give up and revert.

Exactly.
Most of the times when a person loses weight, like in my case, we just go back to eating reasonable protein portions, vegetables, small amounts of starch, fruits and cutting out the crap. When you look at it, the only thing you're doing is going back to eating the way you're supposed to be eating anyways. If we stuck to those eating habits, we wouldn't get fat in the first place.

Jeez there was some good overnight.

I am going to cut simple sugars & processed shit to a minimum and see what happens. I get the feeling they actually do slow fat loss.

update: so far I've lost 11 lbs in a little more than a month. Now I need to lose another 17 and I'll be there

Some idiocy in here. The energy from 100 calories is still 100 calories whether from a donut or broccoli. Arguing that broccoli is more nutritious is a strawman ie Broccoli might be absorbed less efficiently but that's a different argument.
