    As others have said in this thread, the single most impactful thing you can do for fat loss is changing a bad diet into a good sustainable diet.

    Nobody has mentioned this yet, keto is the key. Removing all sugar and carbohydrates from your diet will make you lose weight faster than anything else you could possibly do. Every time you eat carbohydrates, you pause your body’s fat burning for about 2 to 4 hours. So if every meal you’re eating carbs, and you’re having a carb snack, you’re pausing fat burning all day, the only time you have to burn fat is when you sleep.

    This is how intermittent fasting works, that’s why people see good results, they’re not eating the carbohydrates during their fasting window, and they can burn fat.

    The good thing about low carb eating is you don’t have to calorie count at all, your bodies normal hunger signals will work properly, just eat when you are hungry and stop when you are not.

    Working out with a bad diet, will most certainly make you gain weight, especially fat. If your diet is carbohydrate heavy, heavy processed foods, heavy in sugars, when you get hungry after working out, you’re going to eat more of the bad food. Which is going to make you fatter. You need to fix the diet first

    The gym is great, it’s great for your overall health, it’s great for longevity, but it is not the key to fat loss. You can’t out exercise a bad diet

    If you can swing it, get a continuous glucose monitor, and monitor your glucose all day, keep that number as low as possible. It’s great immediate feedback for every meal. Of course you can go to the gym! Just cut the carbs

    The title of this press release implies causation, but the data only shows association.

    This is something the writer clearly understands, with the below comment

    Additionally, the report emphasizes a bidirectional relationship. “More than 40% of those with cardiovascular disease also have a mental health condition,” adds Vaccarino.

    So we have a strong association, but we don’t know the cause. So it’s possible that having cardiovascular risk, could cause mental illness. The reverse of the title implication

    Well I appreciate a press office isn’t the most nuanced of commentators, they should at least make a call towards better metabolic health as the takeaway.




  • Is it possible to never go to a fast food chain?

    We have the physical addiction to glucose, but you have overcome that before

    We have the habitual triggers, something in your life makes you think of your old addiction, those you have to find a way to get past, maybe the snacking

    We have the situational triggers, seeing a place, going past a place, triggers old addictive cravings, this is where having a buddy you can call and talk it out can be helpful.

    If you are willing to wear a CGM all the time, you can have a buddy monitoring it and get alerts if it goes outside of a predefined range (say 6.5) so your buddy can help you deal with the recovery

    When you fall off the wagon before, you mentioned fast food, but what is different the month before falling off and the day you fall off?
