High sat fat + starch might actually be fine if you cut out the PUFAs and maybe sugar: https://fireinabottle.net/introducing-the-croissant-diet/ Have not tried it yet, but it's on the list ( https://exfa

Studies from the 20s thru 40s for somewhat sedentary office workers in NYC show that they ate more the less physically active they were, often eating up to 4,500kcal/day. Large portions of that from white bread, lard, butter, milk, and

So I should spend 8h per day farming rice? Doesn't seem like a productive comment. There are certainly countless viable options, but I've yet to see someone suggest one that doesn't require me moving to another continent to b

> Don't have a clear picture of what "better" mean? That's also simple. Look at what people were eating 100 years ago, and how much physical activity they were doing then. Do you mean fructose? PUFAs? Be specific. Wha

100% agreed. Diet advice from naturally thin people is like dunking advice from Shaq. "Just walk up and put it in" won't cut it for those of us who have a screwed up metabolism.

I've fasted a ton including every sort of IF and up to 7 days water/10 days fat fast. Didn't do anything for fat loss. Read here if you care: https://exfatloss.substack.com/p/19-fat-loss-experiments-ive..

Don't know about OTC but patents last 20 years. So the generics will be out then. And you could get it prescribed by your doctor w/o a big deal like blood pressure meds or something now. I got a CGM prescribed just cause I wanted

100%. I've heard the theory that once we discover the cure for obesity, it'll be over in 2 years and nobody will miss it. What, like 40% of Americans are currently dieting at any given time? And that's with a ~0% success rate

Obesity is unsolved. If you know what dietary intervention will cause significant long-term fat reduction in a majority of people, please demonstrate and you'll win the Nobel peace price. We just don't know. Trust me, this is kind

Haha hopefully without the disgust ;) edit: oh wait, is this why they sometimes cause vomiting? Like you literally feel sick?

Will be interesting to see how that dynamic acts out. I'm also kind of dumbfounded. E.g. will we just make food even unhealthier and just counter it with more of these drugs? Where eventually we're just chugging soybean oil laced

Not even pop a pill - take an injection weekly, at home. Zero stigma, nobody will even know you're on it.

100% agreed. I currently wouldn't take it just because it seems to have pretty drastic effects, and we don't seem to quite understand on what or how. The reported side-effects like 5% have nausea or whatever, don't seem too b

Yea, and they contain some sugar. Obviously I wouldn't have found cancer in 14 days. But for fat loss, it seems to work just as well!

My entire hypothesis this time around is that protein is making/keeping me fat, and I went super low protein on purpose :) Of course it could also be something else. Everybody freaks out about the low protein though haha.

by exfatloss 4y ago
It absolutely will. I've tried it myself and stayed stable around 1,000kcal/day for 2 months straight.

Especially for people who are very obese :) For comparison, I recently went from 132kg (290lbs) to 111kg (245lbs) in the last 5 months without counting calories, on a very-low-protein, ultra-high-fat diet. Re. the abs, I've never had t

Overeating is the cause of obesity like saving money is the cause of being rich. Yes, but that's not what we're talking about. It's an accounting tautology, not the root cause.

> I don't understand how counting calories can not work. It's the law of evergy conservation: energy in, energy out. It's very easy. Your calories in depends on your calories out, and your calories out on your calories in.

This is the experience of practically everyone who's ever tried to lose weight, not just me. You think we had an obesity epidemic that's growing if counting calories really worked? > Besides, if people can really accurately cou

You mind sharing your before/after weight and roughly how lean you were? If your metabolism is already dialed in (i.e. you were not obese) this might totally work and be very effective for fat loss.
