if i rember correctly the difference between low-NEAT and high NEAT people was actually up to like 2000 kcal per day
Haha! Wow, I feel like a dummy for not solidifying that part . So yeah, people should keep moving!
yeah its a ridiculous difference, ive tried to figure out if having high NEAT is good from a peat perspective, or more of a nervous/stress driven reaction (like on stimulants for example)
Interesting thoughts, so I guess you are saying that while losing fat, one will have food cravings which are not necessarily meaningful or relevant to his/her real needs to function. About the increase in calories thanks to tapping a foot, I guess all those posts I made on here at least prevented me from becoming too fat, much to the dismay of all the forum members who had their own basal metabolic rate lowered as a result of reading them. What do you think coffee / redbull when one is trying to lose phat ?Could be toxins stored for some people, it follows logic to think that the more fat a person has, the longer they have to diet for, the more toxins they ridding themselves of, the more they will feel like crap til it’s over.
But I believe that a majority of the negative effects of dieting comes from hormonal settling points being disrupted. Since bodyfat is the largest producer of leptin in your body, it is highly disruptive when you lose fat since your satiety is based on leptin levels, especially if you have a large amount of fat you’re losing. Just like insulin levels, baseline leptin levels are generally higher in higher body fat individuals than their leaner counterparts. This creates a hormonal settling point that the body entrains to maintain, thus if you dip below this level or rise too high above it, the body will work to stabilize the amount of leptin within its “normal range”. Because people’s ratio of lean mass to fat mass is so damn unique to each person I believe this is why it’s very difficult to peg who will do well on a diet and who won’t. For instance, take a very overweight individual who also has plenty of lean mass underneath that, then take an overweight individual with the same height and weight stats as the former person but much less lean mass and you will see major differences in how losing fat affects there leptin levels and how they feel. And like I said before no matter who you are, dieting sucks eventually lol. A loss of bmr should be expected when losing lbs of fat, that’s just basic thermodynamics. A large portion of TDEE comes from daily NEAT, and generally the better someone feels, the more things they tend to do. I think this sort of positive feed back loop is common among people who go from overweight to fit because they tend to feel better and develop a higher baseline of fitness so their stamina increases which in turn makes them more apt to engage in any sort physical activity and for longer than usual. All this usually amounts to a higher maintenance calorie level, but often doesn’t really seem to be that much more activity than they did before. It’s amazing how just seemingly subtle increases in activity make a huge difference for TDEE, I read a study where they had a group of people they separated into fidgeters and non fidgeters and had them live in the lab for a few weeks. They found that fidgeters (leg bouncing, foot tapping, hand tapping) burn 150-350 calories (or something close to those numbers lol I can’t remember) more throughout the day than people who don’t! And that was just sitting around all day! Imagine what regular cleaning and vacuuming of your house will do? Or lots of regular yard work? I think that’s a huge account as to why people say “I’ve increased my baseline metabolism without adding weight” barring them fixing a clinical thyroid issue, or over stress issue since the sns dominance is probably more responsible for insulin resistance than anything else out there.
What helps and what harms your nocturnal tumescence ?Sometimes it’s not even that I’m waking up in the middle of the night, instead it’s that I don’t get my normal nocturnal tumesence which I’ve come to realize is largely influenced by me eating adequately.

Yes I probably am too absolutist haha, I am just tired of reading stuff that doesn't make sense rationally as a whole. Like reducing burning fatty acids for fuel while still getting rid of body fat, it's contradictory. It seems to me that this will go in cycles since it is impossible to avoid some fat storage over time, and for periods the body will need to burn that fat, as in burning fatty acids.
Thank you for sharing your experience with dairy. I’ve read a couple of your posts and my experience is almost identical. Since June I’ve lost around 20 pounds which seems to have been water weight from dairy. I’ve maintained around 180 pounds for 2 years until incorporating loads of cow milk last winter which ballooned my weight up to almost 210. Since eliminating the dairy in t he beginning of summer the weight has melted off even though I’m eating 3000+ calories a day.Removing all forms of dairy with the exception of butter for a minimum of 2 weeks can be helpful. If struggling with weight gain, brain fog, constipation, low motivation etc., that can all be possible symptoms of the opiogenic effects of casomorphins in dairy. When I first took out dairy, I dropped 20lbs of what seemed to be water weight over the course of a few weeks, plus my libido, motivation and bowel
movements normalized to my pre dairy baseline.
I eat 2x as many carbs as protein minimum and I eat 4 meals a day. So I divide my total number of carbs by the 4 meals. I would say theres an element of individuality tho. Also, this was to determine a baseline amount of carbs for me when constructing a diet to start. I rarely follow exactly what I wrote. I often go on feel alot with the baseline in mind. However, I am not trying to lose weight and I have been eating consistently well for years at this point, so our contexts may differ.
Source on this? And from experimentation, how could you tell?From what I have read and what I have experimented with there is not need for more than 30-40g of protein in a meal, especially if your younger (max .6-.8g of protein a day). The excess protein just gets oxidized and at that point you might as well eat more carbs or fats.
