Watch Fat Head if you want an entertaining look at how wrong you are. 

You and your conformation bias provide all the entertainment I can handle. :)

You know, you don't have to believe it for it still to be true.

I know won't do any research because you're too arrogant to admit you're wrong. Fine by me, at least you wear it proudly. 

I'm a little surprised that someone with your intellect can't or won't see beyond the indoctrination and look to fact.

To be fair, you are arguing that a calorie is not a unit of energy. ( https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/calorie )

 

When your argument is a non starter because it doesn't even get the definition of the subject right, well, it isn't good news.

Lemme help y'all.

Because 3,500 calories equals about 1 pound (0.45 kilogram) of fat, you need to burn 3,500 calories more than you take in to lose 1 pound. So, in general, if you cut 500 calories from your typical diet each day, you'd lose about 1 pound a week (500 calories x 7 days = 3,500 calories).

One pound a week may not seem like much, but that's 52 pounds a year. You can't lose weight without losing something- a change in diet, more exercise, something has to change. Nothing too drastic, just a conscience effort to change one thing.

I cut back on soda- I drank nothing but Coke Zero, Diet Pepsi, etc, but now I have one in the morning and one with dinner. 6-10 bottles of water though the day. But, even as I type this, it's Friday night and I'm chugging Evan Williams and Coke Zero like it's my job. Give and take. Do what you can.

I don't eat breakfast, except for weekends. I would eat a pack of orange peanut butter crackers. 220 calories. But, those little pecan twirl things are 100 calories each, so I can have 2 of those and cut back.

Lunch is now a spinach salad- giant bag of spinach from Sams, tub of feta, those little bags of Perdue grilled chicken from HT or Food Lion, no fat greek dressing. I found these little bags of dried cranberries and walnuts, or cherries and pecans, and buy 15 at a time. A big ass salad- 300 calories.

Supper- I eat normally. And I cook heavy and tasty. Shrimp and grits should involve butter and heavy cream. Eat me. But, I grill when I can, as opposed to frying.

As warm weather approaches, that 1 pound a week will change to 2-5 pounds a week. I hope. I work and sweat, a lot of which is outside ( Go lay down by your outside AC unit for 30 minutes)

Our body stores up fat for when times get tough. You burn it when you fast for sure. Having enough fat to last a year is a very new phenomenon evolutionary speaking. Humans now have that luxury. 

However, as primates (frujivores in particular), our anatomy is made to eat mainly plants. At least 90%. Our bodies get into problems the more processed foods and animal based foods we eat. Fat builds up, and sure fasting would be a way to deplete it quickly. 

Why do you think humans are a cholesterol storing machine while Lions for example don't store it. Because we went for hundreds of thousands of years not having much in our diet. Now we have all we want, and we also have all the cardiovascular disease to go with it. 

All of our closest relatives in the animal kingdom forage on plants all day long. \They don't get obese. They don't get heart disease. They don't get cancer. 

Also, CICO is definitely not a myth. Anyone that says that is looking to sell people who are fed up with eating less a few books. Any doctor or nutritionist that says that I would stop listening to instantly. Zero credibility. 

In short, look at the natural state of our closest relatives. Do what they do if you are actually interested in what our bodies are designed for through evolution. 

Problem is humans sit on their asses all day and don't burn off the fat they store.

I'm arguing that not all calories are the same and as such are not subject to the paradigm that caloric restriction is the basis of weight loss. Everything in us is regulated by hormones, except weight? No. Insulin is the key and you can increase your overall caloric intake and lose weight, it's been done over and over. 

I eat 4 fried eggs in butter and a half pound of bacon regularly, yet I'm losing weight. Fasting only speeds up that process because we do not need to eat nearly as often as we do. We have become slaves to our brain's reward center. I just fasted for 72 hours and felt great, even went to the gym both days. 

You stick to studies funded by the likes of Coca Cola, I'll do what I know, firsthand, works and is completely safe.

I lost 125 lbs mainly sitting on my ass. I just started going to the gym a little over a week ago. If you regulate proper insulin levels the weight will come off regardless of physical activity.

    • I just want to see a big guy with an NFL certified cannon arm suit up for the panthers again. To me, it will show that they are at least  trying to take the QB position in the direction it needs to go.   Will he throw picks? Yes. Probably a hell of a lot, but (for now) I’m strangely ok with that… for now. I at least need to see a dude that CAN make the throws with some semblance of accuracy.  This is the time to see what the QB whisperer is made of. The offensive talent is there. It’s certainly better than most rookie/journeymen QBs will ever step in to. If he can get a random dude playing at a JAG level, then I might be sold.  Andy could really surprise in the Buffalo game. He (for now) still has enough arm for Tet and XL to show what they’ve got, but we all know it’s only going to be good for 3-4 games, max. He has vet savvy, and that does account for a lot. He also has a full week of practice with all the snaps to prepare.  My best case scenario going forward: Andy plays the next 2 games nobly (winning one would be a huge bonus) giving White a chance to learn some of the playbook and develop chemistry with the players. Serviceable Andy turns in to old man Andy in game 3 and White takes the field after halftime.  A high ankle sprain (lol, sure it is) is an injury that can buy the team a LONG time for BY to ride the pine…. Maybe even IR. His peak trade value is now. Get what they can for this albatross. He’s now shown that he can be a mid level backup which does hold a significant value for the right team.  Not even in my wildest dreams do I see White being anything more than a JAG, but that’s ok. JAGs with a big arm make great bridge QBs that at least won’t have your play makers stagnating. Keeping BY under center is a 100% recipe for stagnating high ceiling (Tet/XL) dudes and/or not allowing them to take the next step in their development. Why even practice the good half of the playbook if the QB can’t make the throw? After a while, you’ve now got high ceiling guys who can only run a limited route tree. No thanks. 
    • They both outstanding players and both had monster games against Jets.  We gonna need it again this week with the bills.  Go Panthers!!!!
