It’s basic thermodynamics bruh. If you burn more calories than you eat everyday you will lose weight. If you take in more calories than you burn you will gain. Macronutrient breakdown really doesn’t matter when it comes to weight loss/gain, calories are indeed king.

If that was the case anyone and everyone will lose weight exactly the same way. Peoples bodies are different and require alot more than calorie losing.

Too bad none of what you are saying is backed by any science. You put anybody on a caloric deficit and they will lose weight bro, this is non debatable.

Ya'll eating less to lose weight?? :dahell:

No wonder why ya'll failing. You gotta eat smarter, not less. There's nothing wrong with alot of calories as long as you burn them.
You can eat 3k calories and still lose weight vs the person who's eating 1.5k calories but has a soda and chips

I use to cut my calorie deficit by 500 to 700 calories for 1 year and 5 months on and off...lost mad weight including muscle mass. My body adjusted and never lost anymore weight afterwards.

Intermittent Fasting lowered my calorie intake but i stayed low carb and showed a faster burning rate, gained muscle strength with heavy fats in a greater amount of time.

Nobody in this thread advocating eating soda and chips. How do you eat 3k calories and still lose weight? Isn't it easier to eat less?

IF is not a silver bullet and provides NO benefits over any kind of eating. If the eating schedule that you must endure makes dieting easier for you that’s one thing, but acting like some eating schedule scientifically better than other eating schedules is blatantly false.

Here’s Martin Berkham who is probably THE reason Intermittent Fasting got popular and spread all over the internet a few years back, disspelling the myth that intermittent fasting is better than any other diet.

Martin Berkhan said:
It's very important to understand this:

Leangains drove the popularity of intermittent fasting, not the other way around. An "intermittent fasting diet" is just an easy way to characterise an approach that includes several other distinct characteristics that make Leangains into what it is.

Leangains is also an approach formed by the correct use of scientific research, based on context specific human studies of acceptable validity, with the understanding that the practical application, and the outcome thereof, remains theoretical - e.g. we cannot say for certain how much of a difference intermittent fasting really does.

In fact, I couldn't care less about intermittent fasting if it wasn't for the fact that it's the superior decision for diet compliance. For me, it happened to be the magic bullet, just like it's been proven to be for many others.

The Leangains story is perhaps best summarized by Sam Fuller. Fundamentally, Leangains is just another strategy that allowed me to have the cake, and eat it - and so it happened to be for many others.

But to cling to intermittent fasting, or to hop on the fasting bandwagon and fast for 16+ hours with the naive expectation of a magic trick - to willingly fast for fasting in itself, even if it's not really for you - is very foolish.

Remember. That's what people did in the mid-2000's - what we all did. We subjected us to rules that proved to be incompatible with long-term success, balance in life, and peace of mind. The role I played was in opening up your eyes to the alternative - to give you more options, and improve your decision making skills on dietary aspects that are of critical importance (i.e. the choice of meal frequency).

Back then, we ate every 2-3rd hour for the sake of eating every 2-3rd hours, we ate breakfast for the sake of eating breakfast, and we didn't eat much in the evening. But now, I see this might be happening again - in reverse.

See, now everyone's riding the fasting bandwagon. Perhaps best exemplified by the "The 8-Hour Diet", this the result of a marketing engine fueled by false promises, bull****tery and the disingenous make believe-science that impresses the lay man, pleases the crowds, and disgusts the one who sees right through it.

This is what corrodes this industry. This is what keeps people confused. This is what obfuscates success, and makes you forget the critical importance of personal preferences - not slavery under rules that doesn't really make sense for you.


Here’s Layne Norton, who literally has a PHD in this shyt and a Natural bodyBuilding and power lifting champion has to say about IF:
