Slightly overweight, advice please?

BazEP said:
That fundamentally calories from different foods have a different insulin response and therefore a differing fat storage impact. It's hard to see from some of your contradictions whether you're agreeing with this or not.

Edit to add - a calorie store x amount if energy is not in question, but how that body uses and stores that energy is, so another response confusing this with the fact that some foods contain less calories than others is not helping.

Regardless of what arguments you wish to come up with the simple fact is that if you regularly ingest MORE calories than you use you WILL put on weight - usually in the form of fat unless you are deliberately doing it to gain more muscles.

And if you regularly ingest LESS calories than you use you WILL lose weight and unless you exercise some of that weight loss will be in the form of lean body mass.

And at the end of the day these two simple facts have been so overwhelming proven that arguments to the contrary are just a waste of time.

So as far as I'm concerned this discussion is now ended.

Sorry Peter but I'm not one to let someone off the hook...

If your "facts" are indisputable then why do you say that if you eat too few calories then you won't lose weight? If it was that irrefutable then that wouldn't be the case... Unless your body processes calories differently in different circumstances.
 
I'm not sure if this has already been suggested as I've only managed to get through the first 6 pages on my phone lol.

I would suggest signing up to www.myfitnesspal.com (it's free). You can input your weight/activity levels etc and how much you need to us and it calculates the amount of calories you should be eating.

Its very easy to log food throughout the day and makes you conscious of what foods you are eating have the most amount of calories etc.

In sure most of the advice given in the thread will work. As mentioned losing weight is just down to consuming less calories than you burn. Sometimes intensive exercise may lead you to eat more, so as previously mentioned start out walking more often and at a faster pace.

Good luck! :)
 
Yep, I'm going on the mars bar diet - 2500cals of mars bars a day and see how much weight I lose... that'll be a reduction of about 1000cals a day for me so I'm confident...
