Really! |
Originally posted by Dr. Pain Would you delini8 on "S" (Walmart) versus "R" type ALA for the masses for me please? DP |

Originally posted by Dr. Pain Sorry...take some ALA and call me in the morning......j/k Feel better! DP |

Originally posted by The_Chicken_Daddy Me too, but some find large amounts useful after the carb loads on a CKD. |
|
Originally posted by The_Chicken_Daddy But then again, anyone going 3 weeks on low carbs without a carb load is bonkers in my opinion anyway. |

Originally posted by Dr. Pain TCD is very right here.....think Lifestyle not Induction......you're gonna compromise metabolism, thyroid functin and IGF levels going that long! DP |

Originally posted by The_Chicken_Daddy Where your body wants to be regarding bodyfat level. You know those skinny little bastards who eat loads and yet maintain their skinny little bitch status? -----This Ain't me. And you know those people who eat shit loads and stay fat? -----This Ain't me either. Your body regulates loads of complicated stuff so you stay there. -----Gotcha....Understood. Those with low setpoints " tend to have lower appetites, regulate hunger better so overall they eat less"----This applies to me. "and if they overeat one day, their appetites go down for the next few days"-----This applies to me as well. "and their metabolism"-----Don't have one of these. " speeds up to expend the calories and weight they put on in that day of overfeeding." -----Can't relate.....its still right here. (points to abs/obliques) Those with high setpoints have bigger appetites and can't control hunger as good so have tendancies to eat more. It's possible to get below setpoint and maintain it, but it's a bastard cause your body throws loads at you to get you to eat more, such as raging appetite, hunger pangs, cravings etc... It's all measured by leptin (or at least, leptin is the major player in regulating all this). |

Originally posted by DaMayor In other words....What do you call individuals who don't experience cravings, who don't eat loads of grub, yet maintain above "normal" rather, above 'healthy' levels of BF? Metabolically stalled? Dead? |

Originally posted by The_Chicken_Daddy Liars usually. .....Thanks. Haha! Joking, but most studies show that most people either drastically underestimate their total calorie intake or drastically overestimate it. .....I've been logging this info as acurately as possible. Currently, I'm at ~2600 calories per day. It has varied, but not drastically. Have you actually tried dieting with a calorie deficit? .....Not yet. I was advised to continue increasing calories until I noticed a consistant weight, or slight increase....then to hold for a week or two before decreasing calories. (Sound fairly acurate, DP?....You and, I believe TP, gave great input on this not too long ago, as well as P-Funk, who has been a great help.) I'm guessing you're not getting cravings because your calories aren't in deficit and therefore your leptin isn't dropping. .....The only cravings I've had recently were for sugary foods. The weird thing about this is that I've never depended on sweet stuff....at least not during adulthood. You are cutting, right? .....Well, that's debatable...Not in the traditional sense, but yes. I mean, I assume that most of those here who go on a "cut" only have ten to fifteen pounds to lose. I'm working on more like 30lbs here, so I don't know that I should treat it like a traditional cut. |

Originally posted by Twin Peak I understand impatiece. But when you started you were *maintaining* at a MUCH lower calorie level no? .....True. I believe I was eating about 1300-1500 cals roughly. If not, you can add some cardio. .....Shhhhhhh. What are you doing? Don't wake up the anti-cardio monster! At the advice of many folks here...(offered all at once, in sort of a group chant sorta thing) I was told to ditch the C-word. I have. Although at this point, I would be willing to lose a small amount of muscle in order to lose a great deal of fat. You have done a nice job of resetting. Good for you. ....Thanks, man. Still working on it. |

Originally posted by Twin Peak BTW, you have DOUBLED YOUR FUCKING CALORIE INTAKE AND ARE MAINTAINING WEIGHT AND YOU ARE NOT TOTALLY PSYCHED???? .....I'd be a lot more psyched if I had decreased my BF...NOTICEABLY..somewhere. Maybe I should say Dramatically. Like I said, in the past, I've just had more dramatic results. This time, I had planned on two or three months to lose the fat, but it looks more like a year. This experience has just been frickin' weird. Damn bizarre. If I remember my post correctly, seems I was dead on, with my advice. .....HA! And all this time I thought DP was the conceited one!  |
