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

- vilmosi 11y agoWhat 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 term. Your body will more than compensate for it as it regains all the weight you lost as soon as you eat like a regular person. http://healthyenough.net/calorie-counting/ http://healthyenough.net/calorie-counting/ http://breakingmuscle.com/endurance-sports/calorie-restriction-for-endurance-athletes-why-its-not-always-a-good-idea http://breakingmuscle.com/endurance-sports/calorie-restricti...
- tjogin 11y agoNo, 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 yourself, it just means that over a period of time, usually a full day, you spent more energy than you consumed, and the difference is taken out of your energy storage, which is mostly adipose tissue. This is how fat loss happens.
- vilmosi 11y agoOh 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.
- jsmthrowaway 11y agoNope, still wrong. There is nothing detrimental about eating less than you need within reason.
- vilmosi 11y agoAgree to disagree. Starving yourself should never be an option.
- jsmthrowaway 11y agoThis isn't "agree to disagree" territory, this is published and peer-reviewed science. You are wrong. There is no disagreement.
- vilmosi 11y agoFine 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.
- tjogin 11y agoYou 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 something completely different), the onus is on you to show evidence for that.
- vilmosi 11y agoAnd 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 be stuck in a vicious cycle. And finally, a big enough deficit can trigger starvation (medically) which tells your body to store fat as much as it possibly can. Meaning that as soon as you stop the diet, the weight will come right back, as fat. The proper way to lose weight is to increase the output (i.e. exercise) and eating more quality food. Not eating less. I'm not against obtaining a calorie deficit because of more exercising or eating less sugar, I'm against having a calorie deficit diet by eating less, as the article suggests. Hope I was more clear enough now.

- tjogin 11y agoThere 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 intake is much more efficient than increasing output, as the article we are discussing elaborates on.
- dragonwriter 11y ago> There is nothing detrimental about being on a caloric deficit diet if are overweight. Yes, there is. Sustained calorie deficit has a number of potential adverse effects. OTOH, if you are overweight, those detrimental effects may be justified by the expected long-term health benefits of weight loss.
- vilmosi 11y agoYes 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.
