"Obesity is a disease not a decision"
This is a new campaign that the American Medical Association actually declared obesity a disease! Billboards with this phrase are popping up around the country.
I've worked out for 10 years straight and I definitely sacrifice eating shit food even though I enjoy it just as much as the next guy. THIS IS A DECISION I HAVE CONSCIOUSLY MADE. http://posttrib.suntimes.com/news/da...n-disease.html Discuss.... |

He says he was WEIGHING his food. That indicates that he knew enough about what he was doing to realize that condiments and such contain calories. I also know that FMB is pretty into cooking, so he's knowledgeable about that sort of thing. Still, the scenario he outlines is just really bizarre and seems to defy scientific logic (as indicated by his doctor's disbelief as well).

There is no such thing as the "starvation mode" as thought of by dieters. Your metabolism will drop slightly with extended calorie restriction in response to less body mass (as you lose weight) but won't drop to zero (or you would be dead).
The internet is full of people that supposedly gained weight on 500-1000 calorie diets yet no metabolic ward study (where someone else controls the food) has ever actually found one of these people. There are several issues that make it seem like it exists. One is that food charts are frequently wrong and can be off as much as 20%. Also, it's impossible to get an 100% accurate calorie count on some things, like meat, because the actual fat content varies so much. Also, there are short term effects that can mask your actual fat loss. Water is the worst as it can vary by several pounds a day. Women have it worst here because hormonal changes can cause them to gain a lot of water weight in a short time. You have to do it consistently for a longer period of time to get an accurate picture of what is going on. A few days won't show it and can be deceiving. Here is an extreme example: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2495396/ A 27 year old man fasted with nothing but water and a few supplements for 382 consecutive days. He went from 456 pounds to 180 pounds. Tests during his fast showed he didn't lose all of his muscle. He also maintained at 196 pounds five years later so he didn't wreck his metabolism and gain it all right back. |

Then, the show revealed that they had hired private detectives to follow them around. Turns out that they were literally eating a thousand or more calories a day that they didn't even realize...especially when drinking. People genuinely don't realize what we put into our bodies...even when we try to be aware of it. It's a bizarre sort of denial.

Just after posting on this thread, I was catching up on the comments on Ray Cronise's blog. Ray is one of the guys that helped Tim Ferriss with his 4 Hour Body book. He has some pretty interesting insight into the mechanics behind weight loss.
In the comments to his last blog entry, someone was complaining about a long term plateau that he could get through. Ray's followup was: Quote:

I've done the potato hack over four days and you lose a shit-ton of weight. I also experienced the lower blood sugar. If someone thinks they "can't" lose weight, try this for two weeks and I bet you will (and it won't be muscle as potatoes have complete protein plus you aren't going to lose significant muscle in two weeks even if you ate nothing). It's an eye opening experience. |

Unfortunately, if I were to eat like that, I would slip into a coma and retain all of it. |
