    A moderate caloric deficit is not starvation, however. So the experiment in question is completely unrelated to your claims. Science does not say that a caloric deficit automatical…

    That experiment does not support any of your claims.

    Not being able to understand the difference between excess muscle and fat is not semantics. BMI is a tool applied to populations, used on individuals it can be very inaccurate, whi…

    I understand that from the zoomed out perspective, when you learn about advancements in the field from newspapers, magazines or blogs, it looks that way. But this is mostly the fau…

    None of the claims you just made are correct. You did not link to scientific evidence, you linked to articles on the Internet.

    You are making the claim that a caloric deficit is detrimental to health (although you choose to call it "starving yourself" for unknown reasons, even though starvation is somethin…

    That has only been demonstrated in mice, however, and only with semi-unrealistically large dosages of sucralose, if memory serves me right. In humans, we have a lot of evidence tha…

    There is nothing detrimental about being on a caloric deficit diet if are overweight. It's not starving yourself, it's not bad for you, it's the ONLY way you can lose fat. Reducing…

    No, having muscle doesn't make you overweight, no matter how much of it you have. The word overweight means to have excess fat, specifically. Im not sure what you mean by under eat…

    No, I'm talking about actual scientific evidence published in peer reviewed scientific journals. There are mountains of it available. Being in a caloric deficit is not starving you…

    Being overweight is unhealthy, it can't be done in a healthy way; not in the long term. While it is possible for an overweight person to not have any of the common health problems …

    I never said anything to the contrary? I just said nutrient timing is not important; i.e. the exact moment when you eat things, or don't eat things, is not important, for most norm…

    None of what you just said is correct, not a syllable of it, really. You should read up on the available scientific evidence.

    Research has shown that, among dietary and health guidelines, switching soda for diet soda is the most effective guideline that exists. Eating better is obviously preferable, but t…

    You are confusing "calorie counting", which is a method of losing weight, with a "caloric deficit" being the number one factor for losing weight, which is a fact. It doesn't matter…

    Yes, it has been scientifically proven about a bajillion or so times that a caloric deficit causes weightloss, and a caloric surplus causes weight gain, irrespective of the source …

    Comment #9724503

    The literature shows that a caloric deficit is what matters the most for weightloss, by an extremely large margin, so large that all other factors can safely be ignored for "normal…

    There is too much mysticism around nutrition and health; people think it's about the method when it's rather about finding a method that works for you the way you apply it. People …

    Another Swede, I agree with a lot of the points, especially how the current government can't help but make themselves look foolish. But, free health care, free education, almost no…

    How do you know that bird/pig flu wouldn't have had more severe impact if it wasn't for the vaccinations?

    Oh, so in your version of history, Apple had about as much success prior to 1981 as they did after? Interesting.
