A weight challenge

[GScholz]

I recommend reading "The Big Fat Surprise," by Teicholz and seeing if you still think that.  It's a very interesting book, so it's not even drudgery or work to read it.

I wasn't talking about healthy dieting. I was talking about losing weight. And no matter how you do it losing weight is basically starving your body and that is never healthy as it puts a strain on your system, and releases toxins from burning fat. With PSMF you'll lose weight relatively fast with ketosis, but with minimal loss of lean body mass.

It is not a diet to live by for long periods of time. We're taking weeks, or months at most. To prevent regaining weight after you've reached your desired weight, you'll have to find another more balanced diet that you can live with. If you have or suspect you may have health issues consult you doctor before going on a PSMF diet.

This kind of diet is also used by body builders who wants to get that extra percentage of fat gone before competitions, and actors needing to lose weight rapidly for a part.

Well . . . if you shed an unneeded 100 lbs, you can take 100 lbs more cannon rounds and get the same turning performance out of your plane.

There's that box where you are supposed to input your weight so that the game calculates pilot weight in the game.

That, sir, should be in the Wishlist at the very top! "Aces High, the healthy flying simulator game! Get more ammo by being fit! The thin for the win!" Of course that should be tied to the Body Mass Index to prevent anorexia: Falling too much below your BMI you'd have to take extra weight to balance the plane... I've seen more foolish weight watching ideas go viral. HiTech, if you add this idea into the game and it goes viral, I want my share!

actually you dont starve juicing you feel much fuller than eating its pure nutrition but you dont start to feel hungry you instantly feel starved drink some juice instantly you feel full i drink about 16-20 oz at a time. i thought is was gonna be so hard to give up the SAD diet "standard american diet" i never ate veggies mostly all meat and dairy and thats why im fat , its a life style change for me and so far its not as bad as i thought the juicing resets your taste buds and you no longer crave unhealthy things like before or atleast i dont everyone is different

I wasn't talking about healthy dieting. I was talking about losing weight.

I'm talking about both.

And no matter how you do it ...

Not according to the research material (which is voluminous) presented in "The Big Fat Surprise".

To boil it down to just the briefest of summaries, eating a diet high in meat, saturated fat, butter, cheese, and non-starchy vegetables and low in carbs, causes people to lose weight, keep it off, and is plenty healthy for long-term use.  I would also say that from my own experience and that of five people I know who eat a low-carb diet.

I think that you'd like the book.  It is quite interesting to read and very solidly shows how what most people think they know about nutrition is based largely on misrepresented research and faulty conclusions.

To me, a low-carb diet is a magical, effortless way to lose weight and keep it off, all while eating as much as I want and not being hungry all the time.

That's fine, it's basically the Atkins diet where ketosis burns fat. However if you need to lose a lot of weight in a (relatively) short time you need something like PSMF.

Yep, which works great.

Low-carb diet is fast.

Zack's on a soft fruit and legumes diet. Hippie!

I always suspected this. 

[GScholz]

Low-carb diet is fast.

PSMF is low carb + low fat. You're only taking protein to avoid muscle loss. But like I said it's not a diet to live by, more of a crash cure for obesity or a way to get those final % off to get ripped. Personally I'm too fond of Italian food to go on a low carb diet permanently. Also the acetone breath is a minus...

I hear you.  I like pasta as well, but I still eat it here and there, just not mountains of it like I used to.

Also the acetone breath is a minus...

I believe that part is a mostly misinformation (like the falsehood that saturated fats cause high cholesterol, which is true for rabbits but not for humans).  I haven't noticed smelly breath from any of the people I know who are on low-carb diets.  I have noticed it for smokers, and some vegetarians who tend to eat more garlic, onions, etc.  Then there is the other smelliness created by a diet that includes a lot of legumes.

Tried.. audio quits after 31 seconds.

May try again later.

Didn't need to Floob. I know people who are on the 5-2 fasting diet. Works well for them.
