Calories in minus calories out still holds true,none of the above is contradicting this. It just means some foods have lesser net calories than others, similar to net carbs, depending on the absorption/work needed to absorb. Still you can intake glucose and fructose mainly all day and lose weight as long as you burn more calories than you took in. It's basic math and thermodynamics

The error people make is why they are hungry. You can eat ice cream and drink soda all day, do this for a few days, and you'll find yourself starving for food. You know why? Because you don't have any nutrition. People are hungry because they aren't eating food, they are eating junkfood.

It's trivial to lose weight, just stop going out, don't buy anything in a box (except maybe noodles), and anything from the frozen section is just vegetables. Don't buy frozen patties, or french fries or whatever. If you want to MAKE them, go ahead. Any "quick meal" is just garbage, stop eating that shit.

Not wrong, but the answer simply is to move. I eat what I want. I don't snack, but when I eat it is a feast at dinner time. Take my vitamins in the morning and afternoon. Don't eat breakfast or lunch. Lunch is the dumbest. I think some breakfast is okay, but I forgo it literally everyday except on vacation.

At 40 I can dominate almost anyone 25-40 in athletics. Games. Whatever. People simply eat too much and with modern tech/culture no one moves. I'm slowing down now but I probably would kick anyones ass in a multitude of sports and activities. Golf simulator mind you but I just did a 5 over at Quintero in AZ last night. For the non-golfer or haven't played there that's like winning the Super Bowl for an above average golfer. Having played the course, it was actually extremely accurate.

Simulator? and where did you putt? Anyone that shoots in the 70's knows that the short game and putting is where you score. And add in bad lies, buried trap shots, a bad bounce, etc.

I maintain the bigger problem is people not moving, not their diet. Think about your grandparents, the 3-4 hours people spend on their phones/computers today were spent outside in the yard/garden with light to medium work back then, plus the mostly sedentary jobs these days, everything is submitted electronically, you dont have to "go" anywhere anymore. Housework is automated or outsourced. Easily an extra 400-500 calories you could eat per day.

You pick a radius. I actually putt okay, but I don't want to fuck my game up so on the simulator I do a 10' radius one putt. Golfing tomorrow (amazing for IL) but the simulators have gotten really accurate. Use it more for keeping the swing in tune and approach shots in IL winters. Would I have shot 5 over.... probably not. But for a simulator it was a good score for me.

I'm a mid 80's-90's golfer. I'm mostly playing scrambles at this point and doing a little gambling here and there. Otherwise I'll go solo and rip out a round in 2-3 hours. Half the time I don't keep score. I can't stand golfing on the weekend when Joe Retard comes to the course. So most my buddies are at work the days I want to go. We have 3 groups tomorrow.... By default the play is gonna be slow which kills my game.

Maybe for most people. I used to run 7 miles a day and when I didn't run like that, I bike 100 miles a week.

If I want to be in good condition, I can't drink beer, I can't eat processed foods, I can't eat out all the time, I basically don't eat carbs other than vegetables and beans. When I have a salad, I have to make my own damned salad dressing, I can't buy anything in a jar unless it's something like "tomato paste", I cannot buy pasta sauce, I can't consume ketchup unless I make it, I can't eat anything preprocessed.

When I do this for long enough, a soda is sickeningly sweet, a single beer gets me tipsy, ketchup becomes disgustingly sweet, I will feel nauseous when I eat out - it's too much food.

The problem is food in the United States is junk.

You can eat ice cream all day and be hungry because although you've consumed 5000 calories, you didn't get any nutrition.

I've fasted before for 2 weeks. Day 1-3 suck, but after that, you're no longer hungry, you got into ketosis, and although thinking isn't the easiest and you're tired, you will start burning all your fat. You have to get electrolytes meaning salt and possibly potassium salt. If you're already thin, doing this could kill you, so I don't recommend it.

No. Running that much was destroying my body and I pay for it now.

I used to bike quite a bit, and may get back into it.

The food our grandparents ate wasn't any better or worse. But they moved all day. No smart phones or game consoles and for the most part no computers. You can eat all the shit you want on top of a run of the mill diet as long as you work out all day. And probably easily consume 3000 calories without gaining weight (depending on how tall and/or muscular you are).

richwicks says

Running that much

Who says you have to run that much? I run a little over two miles, once every other day or so, depending on the weather. On non-running days, I use the elliptical. I’m working my way up to 3.1 miles, but no hurry. I currently do much more elliptical than running, which has helped with developing aerobic capacity. No huffing and puffing when running.

Exactly what was inappropriate about the post???

I have absolutely no respect for fat people. Especially young fat people. WTF were you thinking?
