How polite of you to say things like that.
There's a difference between a deficit of 100kcal and 500kcal and more. Aspirin and caffeine will make you burn more calories. If you add a calorie deficit to that, the deficit will become big and it's going to be bad. period.
I also think being heart is good (and healthy). And being skin, and intestinal villi, and bone, and muscle, and toenail, and neurons, and thymus, and ....nikotrope said:I also agree that people on this forum saying being fat is healthy are a bit frustrating.

But I have yet to see a testimonial here of someone losing weight with a big calorie deficit. thebigpeatowsky is the only member who's got results and it was a 100kcal deficit if I remember correctly.
I never said I was in 100 calorie deficit....it was a waaay bigger deficit than that. I took the quick and dirty route.

Of course eating only 1500kcal is a big calorie deficit for someone with a good metabolism, but a small deficit for someone with a slow metabolism. But my interpretation is maybe wrong?
Dean said:Man, oh man. I really am confused with this discussion. I just listened to a radio show Dr. Peat did a few years back on weight loss and he told someone who called in to watch the calories even in grape juice if you are trying to lose weight. He seemed to be saying throughout to not be eating above your metabolic rate if you don't want to gain weight. He mentioned people gaining weight on a 1000 calories. So, why not a super low calorie, but nutrient dense diet with supplements to fill out needs, and letting your appetite and weight loss dictate when you can start upping calories?

Sea said:I think that if you restrict calories you will slow your metabolism to that level of caloric intake. I think that most of the weight loss people experience with caloric restriction is muscle loss and bone density loss which only serves to further lower their metabolic rates and make them more hypothyroid.
Sea said:I think that if you want to lose fat, you should eat a diet high in carbohydrates and protein, while minimizing dietary fat.
Sea said:My experience is that it is virtually impossible to gain noticeable body fat by over eating Peat sources of carbohydrates.
nikotrope said:Sorry if I offended you thebigpeatowski, but I don't really understand your reaction.
I gave your example as you are the only one who reported on this forum your good results on a calorie deficit. I also said it was different for each person. Basically I agree with you and find you inspiring. I am clearly not someone giving you sh*t for your testimony.
On the contrary I disagree with people giving blank statements like "do a calorie deficit" or "eat at least 3000kcal" and push for people to find their individual problems and solutions like you do.

thebigpeatowski said:What exactly is confusing to you Dean? These people are convinced that dieting in a PUFA restricted manner is going to permanently damage their good metabolism....my question is, if your metabolism is so great why are you wanting to lose 35 or 50 pounds? It should be easy for those with such a stellar metabolic rate. That's why I said younger people, men especially, have an easier time.
What I did is for people who are TRULY stuck and getting NOWHERE. It was low calorie, but nutrient dense and all Peat "approved" foods...Peat talks endlessly about how damaging long term estrogen imbalance is to the body. Doing this diet breaks the cycle, is that really too difficult to grasp?....*shrugs*
tara said:References to deficit often seem to refer to the difference from staying at the same weight and metabolic rate as before the reduction. But It probably also make sense to consider the deficit between a proposed restrictive diet and what the energy the body actually needs to run a strong metabolism an a healthy body.
Someone may be maintaining weight at 1600 cals, even though what their body would need to be healthy might be 1000 more than that. So it can get ambiguous - what is an apparent deficit of 100 cals from one PoV might really be deepening an energy deficit from ~1000 cals to ~1100 cals from another PoV. And I guess there is a third common interpretation - the deficit compared to what some automatic calculation (eg cronometer's) says about a person's probable maintenance calories.
I guess one way to avoid confusion about this would be to be explicit about which kind of deficit we are taking about.
Dean said:I guess I got my wires crossed. When I made my initial post about eating 1500 calories, I thought you and tara were in agreement that it could be dismissed out of hand as way too low. I guess that presumption contributed to my confusion in following the discussion from there. I'm happy for your success and will go back to planning to proceed along those same lines.
