Here you go. Clinical study performed at the University of Minnesota on the effects of reduced calorie intake. At least those men did lose weight. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minnesota_Starvation_Experimen... >>

And I gave you links explaining the downsides. A calorie deficit diet does not guarantee fat-loss, it's more likely that your muscles break down before your fat. Your metabolism slows, making it even harder to lose weight, you'll

Yes you do lose weight, I don't disagree. If you do have a weight problem, it might be an option. But I don't think it's not detrimental for you or that it's a viable long term solution.

Fine then, show me. Show me some "science" that show how starving yourself is good for you. Put up or shut up, this isn't productive.

Agree to disagree. Starving yourself should never be an option.

Oh I get it now, there's a misconception here. A caloric deficit DIET is detrimental to you. But you can still obtain calorie deficit process by simply increasing the output (i.e. exercise). Eating quality food helps too.

What scientific evidence? Let me guess, some blog post from a company that sells said diet? Give me a break. Starving your body does indeed make you lose weight, that's true. It's just not a healthy way to do it. Nor is it long te

Fair enough, everyone has different goals. Some people really just want to lose fat for the sake of it.

Fine, I concede. The term MacDonalds may be too ingrained in my mind as a synonym to junk food. I should have said "500 calories of sugar-rich junk food will not affect your weight and health in the same way as 500 calories of protein.

Who cares about overweight? It's about being healthy, but people forgot that. A lot of people from the gym are classified as overweight, with fat or not, but they are healthy as a horse and look good as well. This concern about losing

Calorie deficit is harmful for you though, there's an imbalance. You tell your body it's starving. As soon as you have an extra calorie to spare, you're body will immediately store it as fat, making your hard work essentially

Counting calories is definitely NOT the way to a healthy body. That's all marketing fluff. 500 calories from Macdonalds is not the same as 500 calories of fresh vegetables. And why did you put "quality food" in quotes?! The t

What a load of rubbish. First of all, losing weight is not the goal itself, it's one of the means to the real goal, which is to be healthy. It's not about eating less, it's about eating healthy. Exercise is absolutely essenti

I don't understand this "Inbox Zero" stress. How hard is it to set up filters on your email? How hard is it to swipe it away to archive it? How many emails do you have to write a day?!

Quality is how employees are valued in a business. That's how salaries are made. Overpaying in an industry is just a big of a problem as underpayment, it's far from a free market as you think. Point based systems work in many co
