Everybody walks past a thousand story ideas every day. The good writers are the ones who see five or six of them. Most people don't see any.
Comment preview: False, but popular claims: * Small sustained changes in energy intake or expenditure will produce large, long-term weight changes. * Setting realistic goals for weight loss is important, because otherwise patients will become frustrated and lose less weigh ....
Comment preview: > Oh yeah, cardio alone is also ineffective at weight loss. Of course. Any exercise *alone* is ineffective at weight loss; why single out cardio? Diet is a critical component of weight loss, so the conclusion reached by the cited analysis is not surpris ....
Comment preview: The meta study only looked at people who participated in a "structured weight loss" plan, but then they don't define exactly what that means. I can only guess that it's something where they are supervised and assisted while they lose weight, and then left ....
Comment preview: I think people should be able to make their own decision as far as weight loss surgery goes, but here's why I'd be cautious about it: - It doesn't address the underlying psychological issues at all. Depression, binge eating, lack of real understanding of n ....
Comment preview: No. You cannot. You can deduct physical therapy, after the 7.5% limitation (10% beginning 2012 filing season). Gym and health club memberships are never deductible. From Publication 502- Medical & Dental Expenses: Health Club Dues >"You cannot inclu ....
Comment preview: Hmm, funny how I was able to find a study about long term weight loss published in a peer-reviewed medical journal just a few months ago http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/01/140106115351.htm >Thomas says, "On average, participants maintained the ....
Comment preview: I think a lot of your friends are pointing out your weight loss out of concern. Two summers ago I also went through a bad breakup and developed stomach issues at the same time which resulted in my losing about 15 lbs so that at one point I was 5'8" and 105 ....
Comment preview: The moment a fat person even considers weight loss, let alone openly talks about it or their 'journey', you're considered fat phobic by the FA crowd. They want you to stay one of them. More of them there are, the more weight (lol) their 'movement' has. If ....
Comment preview: I think the biggest problem with the 80% to 95% number is that your chance of successfully maintaining your weight loss seems to increase significantly every year that you keep it off. I'm currently at the tail end of losing approximately 300 pounds over ....
Comment preview: There's no way this isn't going to come across dickish, but I'm not overly concerned about that. You're lowering expectations without thinking about what you're saying. There's 52 weeks in a year. If you're only cutting out 3500 extra calories a week, y ....
Comment preview: I've lost 117 pounds over the past 2+ years. I still have a ways to go, but so far my skin seems to be rebounding with my weight loss. I do have a few areas that are a bit looser than I'd like (upper arms, thighs) but I still have weight to lose in those ....
Comment preview: I like this attitude. Along the same lines, I half-expected to see more bullet points along the lines of "show me evidence that weight has anything to do with health" (which is kind of what #2 is getting at). Someone who flat-out denies that weight and he ....
Comment preview: >Caloric intake amount is as important as the source of it. Sorry but for weight loss (ie not body composition just pure weight loss) that's just not true. There is not a single thing pointing to that being true in the literature. What you eat is nowher ....
Comment preview: MyFitnessPal and LoseIt! are both great apps. Like maybesaydie says, just start logging. Don't worry about the numbers. For now you're just gathering information. Numbers don't judge, but data is useless unless it's accurate. Log everything passing you ....
Comment preview: First off, congratulations on your weight loss! Second, please don't stop there! If you carry on losing weight it'll do wonders for your looks and your health. If you haven't already, check out r/loseit (and maybe r/fitness), it's a good community and they ....
Comment preview: You're losing 15-20 lb per month. That's a fucking shitload. You will experience strength loss in that situation. However, think of it this way. You were 390 benching 275. That's less than 75% of your body weight. Now you're 280 benching 245 which is almos ....
Comment preview: The largest reason that an individual won't experience significant long lasting weight loss from a tapeworm infection is that, even though weight loss is a common side effect of an infection, there are other serious side effects as well. When the worm infe ....
Comment preview: While you've probably never heard of this registry, adding yourself is probably the most impactful thing you could do to advance medical acceptance of keto for weight loss. My medical school lectures on weight loss usually cited findings from this registry ....
Comment preview: There are a lot of uneducated comments in this thread about weight loss. Weight loss is, and will always be, calories in and calories out. He can make himself three 500 calorie meals a day and still lose weight. That's really the same as eating one 1500 ca ....
Comment preview: We generally don't recommend loosing weight in pregnancy. However, for every obese women, not gaining can in fact be a "net loss" as the weight of mom is converted into baby. We do recommend that women gain within the recommended guidelines. I will also s ....
Comment preview: You know, I've actually noticed this. I was told to lose weight when I was younger at the doctor's office. They'd bring out a BMI chart, point to where I was, and where I should be and tell me if I didn't do something about it, I'd have problems. I'm still ....
Comment preview: > Show me a study where a majority of subjects succeeded at the amount of weight loss you are suggesting. Weight loss programs are rather effective, but most people who try them go back to the lifestyle that made them obese within a very short period ....
Comment preview: The physics of it is undeniable. You put pressure on a metal joint, it breaks. Same shit with humans. > I recommend that you politely ask your doctor if they can show you at least five empirical studies published in top tier journals showing that weight ....
Comment preview: First and foremost, let's make sure you know what the gym is for -- Most of the average person's daily burned calories - more than 80% - will be non-exercise calories. So trying to manage your weight mainly through exercise will turn into a race against yo ....
Comment preview: >Show me a study where a majority of subjects succeeded at the amount of weight loss you are suggesting [You may take a look at this.](http://ajcn.nutrition.org/content/82/1/222S.long) >Do thin people get this health problem? What do you recommend fo ....
