Why would you say so?
The upper part of the door in the background doesn't fit to the lower part. Addendum: I was wrong with my accusation.
Wow...you're right. Thanks for pointing it out out!

> The real key to weight loss is a non-insulin-stimulating diet That was debunked recently [1]. > Weight loss is not practical without some exercise. Nonsense. Do you have any evidence for that? [1] https://www.vox.com/2016/7/6/12105660/do-low-carb-diets-work
Anyone who clicks through to that link and reads is going to see that it doesn't "debunk" anything, and is in fact careful not to claim that it does.
Note the bit of GGP I quoted was around the the insulin hypothesis. That supposed connection between insulin from high GI foods causing weight gain (or reducing weight loss), that is what the studies referenced in the article disprove.
"According to the insulin-carbohydrate model, we should have seen an acceleration in the rate of body fat loss when we cut insulin by 50 percent," Hall said. But they didn’t, which he thinks suggests that the regulation of fat tissue storage in the body has to do with more than just insulin levels and their relationship with the carbs we eat.
The new results also echo a previous study of the insulin-carbohydrate model, where Hall found that people who cut fat in their diets have equal or greater body fat loss than those who cut carbs. (Here’s Hall’s new review of the literature on the carb-insulin model of obesity.)
"These studies represent the first rigorous scientific tests of the carb-insulin model in humans," Hall added. "The public needs to understand that this [insulin-carbohydrate] model now has pretty strong evidence against it."

#23Amazing transformation, both in the article and the comments.
When has rapid weight loss ever been sustainable?
I'd love to see follow up article w/ comments in 2 years.

You've conveniently stopped quoting right before the "Can pasta and bread lovers now rejoice?" section detailing the limitations of the study.

#25His advice reminds me a lot of things Mr Berkham has to say over at leangains.com. IF, multivitamin, fish oil, cutting/bulking phases - those are not all things exclusive to advice given by Berkham, but it's a quite similar subset. Here's a post from another software developer having similarly spectacular success: http://merowing.info/2014/02/fit-geek/ I lost ~20kg myself by following Leangains loosely over a period…
I don't buy into your endocrine/metabolic system theory whatsoever. Do you have any evidence that this is even possible?
Well take it as my own working theory, I was careful enough to not state it as if I knew for sure. No need to attack and downvote me.

TRT can help.
ETA: It can also certainly hurt too.

I'm 32 and I found a free-weight system for upper body I've had success with. It auto-adjusts the weight over time whether you want it to or not so you are forced to continually improve. It also forces you to do repetitions every day whether you want to or not. Sometimes I do extra reps and the system responds with positive reinforcement. It gives extra positive reinforcement if I hold it over my head and fly it arou…
You're not alone dude - I know several people, myself included, whose waistlines rapidly expanded when in their 30s and with kids I'm only now starting to have a chance to go to the gym regularly again and am praying nothing changes!

#29If you're data-inclined, it's a powerful tool to drive health and fitness. Extracting actionable meaning from your data isn't that hard, as long as you understand the basic mechanics of what you're doing and can compute things like percentages and moving averages. I'm 34, spent the last ~15 years at sedentary desk jobs, and became quite out of shape. I've lost 70lb over the last year doing little more than just loggi…
+1 on having a lifting routine. Cardio by itself doesn't seem too sustainable as compared to watching what you eat and building muscle.
