Reducing the amount of calories you consume vs the amount of calories your body burns is going to reduce the 'fat' in your body for most people. Its not impossible that your body can and will retain a shitload of water, but overall that metric is valid for almost everyone.

Once i was able to come to grips with “Feeling hungry is what losing weight feels like. It means my efforts are working. Dont snack now youll gently caress yourself out of your progress today.” I started losing weight.

Yea, it sucks. But the suck is just how progress goes for a lot of stuff.

Be advised the “not hungry” takes a least 10 minutes to set in because its a hormone thing, so it pairs up with “chew slow and have a conversation or smth.” so you dont blow right by that point.

I’m a keto survivor.

I had to live with 4 people on the diet for 2 years. While they were on the diet, the two keto evangelists yo-yo’d up and down in weight, the two normies caught in the hype lost no weight and I gained ten pounds. This is over two years that I gained ten pounds so, gently caress it. Eventually one of the evangelists managed to loose 30lbs and keep it off, but not the other. Turns out the guy who succeeded was known for being able to live off of bacon and could actually eat a whole stick of butter, long before he went keto.

Dehydrated cheese tastes loving amazing with beer and I can eat steak every day, EVERY GOD DAMNED DAY and not get sick of it apparently. Being smug and just downing a ton of kombucha and eating huge salads a couple times a week was fine. Microbiome or something idk. They all consumed so much processed fiber because “1g of fiber cancels out 1g of carbs”.

The toilets were amazingly bad because they never pooped right.

Processed fiber and sugar alcohol, the stuff in those Harribo gummi bears that inspired fantastic Amazon reviews years ago.

I think weight retention has something to do with genetics as well as diet. That includes biological gender, men get larger carb allowance than women as an example.

I personally am a lot more active now and that extra ten lbs is gone. I eat a ton of garbage and just try to have good prebiotic/probiotic meals with as much leafy green as possible occasionally. My heart, weight level and blood pressure (drink lots of actual water) are all fantastic as I cruise on into middle age. I’ve smoked for 25+ years, drank extensively and consumed more than my fair share of pot and generally nobody believes how old I am.

My hair is turning white now because I’ve achieved super sayian, or more likely that silver hair just runs in my family, but I’m still no fatter than I was 5 years ago, no weight watching at all.

Do you happen to be able to point to the "lab animals on same-calorie diet, ultra-processed vs natural" results?

Not that I'm 100% disagreeing that ultra-processed foods are bad, but most everything I've seen on the subject says that the biggest issue is that these foods make it extremely easy to eat a far higher calorie diet. They're more calorie dense, faster to eat, and fight against satiation. 2000 calories of unprocessed food is a full 3 meals and a snack. 2000 calories of mcdonalds is lunch.

A good example is this NIH study where people eating the processed foods ate about 500 more calories, completely naturally.

I have lost 35lb or so in the last year starting from 230 or so w/ some small changes to my habits, and a little more than half of it fell right off over a few months when I quit drinking and was kind of the thing that made me realize I felt better and encouraged me to make other tweaks to my lifestyle. So if you drink, maybe start there.

If you are always starving between meals, this is your ape brain thinking it is starving to death; it affects your mental health because it thinks you should be depressed and anxious about starving to death, and it affects your weight loss because your metabolism will screech to a halt to prevent it. IMO, be open to snacking between meals/eating less food more often, in combination with reduced portions and eating better things. I get a lot of mileage out of tubs of lightly salted mixed nuts from costco here; if I'm hungry between meals I can eat like 5 nuts and it will shut my stomach up for hours. A handful of nuts is a lot of fat, and not a good snack, but 5 will seriously do the trick for me. At the end of the day I might eat half a portion of nuts, per the tub, but I'm not starving when I reach lunch or dinner so it's easy to take smaller portions, eat more slowly and feel satisfied at the end, and the fact that I'm never starving reflects that my brain doesn't think I'm starving to death and isn't fighting me. After almost a year of this, my stomach is smaller and I couldn't eat the portions I was taking before without feeling uncomfortable. IMO the idea that you should eat just 3 times a day and suffer between then as needed is part of the problem. That feeling is your brain trying to stop you from losing weight and a reflection of the hormonal and metabolic mechanisms that make weight loss difficult.

I recall reading studies a decade or so ago that basically tweaked macro percentages and found that higher protein and lower carbs corresponded with people eating less to feel full and feeling satiated longer. So it wasn’t like 2k of carbs vs 2k of not carbs magically doing something, it ended up being like 1750 of not carb vs 2250 of carbs resulting in a relative calorie deficit for low carb person.

This largely jives with my experience. If I eat a pork chop and some mixed roasted veg or whatever I’ll consume less calories than if I’m eating spaghetti. Obviously there are counter examples, like I could pretty easily blow past a day’s caloric needs if I just had a jar of nuts at my computer and snacked on it constantly but in broad strokes it makes sense that to me and whenever i feel myself pudging up usually the two things I cut back on are liquid calories (beer mostly for me, not really a soda guy) and stuff like pasta.

Abstract

A dramatic rise in obesity has occurred among humans within the last several decades. Little is known about whether similar increases in obesity have occurred in animals inhabiting human-influenced environments. We examined samples collectively consisting of over 20 000 animals from 24 populations (12 divided separately into males and females) of animals representing eight species living with or around humans in industrialized societies. In all populations, the estimated coefficient for the trend of body weight over time was positive (i.e. increasing). The probability of all trends being in the same direction by chance is 1.2 × 10−7. Surprisingly, we find that over the past several decades, average mid-life body weights have risen among primates and rodents living in research colonies, as well as among feral rodents and domestic dogs and cats. The consistency of these findings among animals living in varying environments, suggests the intriguing possibility that the aetiology of increasing body weight may involve several as-of-yet unidentified and/or poorly understood factors (e.g. viral pathogens, epigenetic factors). This finding may eventually enhance the discovery and fuller elucidation of other factors that have contributed to the recent rise in obesity rates.

When you go hiking a a bit, and have had to figure out how to pack 3-5 days worth of food in your pack along with everything else, you notice pretty quick what sort of foods have high caloric density and what ones don't. Although nuts and seeds are still the best for that. Great for snacking on, and calorie dense as hell. Never go hiking with out a big bag/contain of nuts, seeds, and dried fruits.

I lost 40 pound in 2 months by fasting. Overall, I retained at least 60% of my weight loss. It was worth it. No illegal drugs, ozempic, or stimulants. I was fully satiated by God's manna and a cheese or banana ration.

I;m feeling like "Come to Jamaica and Feel All Right" levels of relax whenever I lean on God. I let go completely from the cares of life for 2 months, and got what I hoped for -- a body that affects traffic.

My real diet was first cutting down my calories to only eating low-calorie foods, to Intermittent Fasting (not eating a day or 2, having something small to eat like 1.5 or 2 banana, not eating for 2 more days, having 2 slices of cheese a day one after the other, etc. After intermittent fasting, I was Fasting for more than 3 days. That's where the real weight loss set in. I "leaned in" on God's mana filling my dietary needs. I was also taking supplements to maintain my vitals.

But I have since gained 10-15 pounds but I've been eating a lot and anything I want. So now I'm restarting my cycle. I will update this thread with my diet and tell you how I keep down weight.

And now if you'll excuse me, I have some alkalized water to drink,.

just feeling hungry or full has a big genetic component and if you always feel hungry it's gonna suck to keep off weight more than if you just don't get that hungry i think

intermittent fasting made me feel good when i felt all stuffed up and full of crap

if you eat fewer calories than you burn, it's going to be difficult to put on weight

if you eat a lot of veggies and whole foods you're just going to be full as hell and not want to eat any more

That's what it means in research literature. What is colloquially known as intermittent fasting is called "time restricted feeding"

Or, since it's been extended to include fasts as short as 12 hours, you can just call it "a meaningless term encompassing most normal eating patterns". It used to just be a rebranding of "skipping breakfast", but it's not even that anymore!

Neat. A study that doesn't even make a specific claim or conclusion of its own, and suggests two factors that are not ultra processed foods. That's not even good enough for some partial credit effort points.

quote:

The Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990 (NLEA) currently dictates what information is presented on food labels. The NLEA requires that the Calorie level placed on a packaged food be calculated from food components. According to the National Data Lab (NDL), most of the calorie values in the USDA and industry food tables are based on an indirect calorie estimation made using the so-called Atwater system. In this system, calories are not determined directly by burning the foods. Instead, the total caloric value is calculated by adding up the calories provided by the energy-containing nutrients: protein, carbohydrate, fat and alcohol. Because carbohydrates contain some fiber that is not digested and utilized by the body, the fiber component is usually subtracted from the total carbohydrate before calculating the calories.

OTOH I guess the values for those originally come from calorimeter (burning) and aren't adjusted for true net food energy. So for relevance to this thread, protein costs more energy during digestion than carbs. Thus a controlled diet of X nutritional-label calories could produce different weight gain-or-loss results depending if it was high protein or high carbs.
