"Maybe"? The American Heart Association says the average American Adult eats 60 pounds of sugar a year. So I would say instead of maybe, that we are definately addicted to sugar. Refined sugars are a highly addictive thing and it is clearly the #1 reason so many Americans (as well as many people...

I use a free tracking app called Coronometer. Its petty much like Noom or similar. I input my foods as I eat them. The biggest challenge is estimating the portion sizes to input. People are notorious for underestimating their food portions. Therefore I err on the side of inputing a little bit...

Well most obese Americans get plenty of exercise travelling back and forth from the couch to the refrigerator. And dont forget all that exercise getting in and out of the car before and after the trips to the drive- thru 🤣

Alligatorob is on target with all his replies here. Regardless of all that other mumbo jumbo ie: keto, hormonal balance, etc. The bottom line is that if you eat more daily calories over a period of time than you expend both through your base metabolic rate and your daily activities, then you...

Yep I do strength training with dumbbells and bands twice a week, go on bicycle rides twice a week, and hike with a moderately loaded backpack once a week.

I've been a cyclist since the 70's. And even though I still own and ride regular bikes. I am soon to be the proud owner of an ebike. I bought one for my wife last month and I now understand the beauty of such a machine. Now that I am 60 having the motor to assist me if I get tired or if im...

That is the long proven way to do it. Yet so many now have been conned into thinking that calorie tracking is not the way to lose weight. When in fact it is the most successful proven way to do it. It just takes some focus and work.

You will never see any intervention from the FDA. The govt wants us to be fat. Because if we are fat then we are more unhealthy. And if we we are unhealthy then we are more dependent on the insurance and "healthcare" industry. And therefore more dependent on big pharma. The powers that be make...

Just curious how is eating meals just two hours apart considered fasting ?

Yes I do not want to count calories. It takes both time and effort. But then time and effort is whats needed to achieve almost any goal in life. Counting calories allows me to know exactly where I stand every day (I also loosely keep an eye on my macros too). If Im not tracking my calories Its...

"However if you don't burn more calories than you eat you will not lose weight." Yep and that seems to be a long known fact that the modern weight loss industry is trying to obscure in its quest to sell more Weight Loss Snake Oils and push these fad diets that in the long run are not sustainable.

Yes you are 100% on target. Weight loss is hard work but the concept is simple: Eat less, expend more !

I am currently back on my program to lose 30 lbs. Down 8 pounds so far in four weeks time. 22 to go. I lost 50 lbs over an 8 month period about 15 years ago. Im doing it the same way this time as I did last time. And that is by maintaining a daily caloric deficit of around 400 calories under...

Fantastic ! Sounds like you are pretty much doing intermittent fasting without really calling it that. I do a similar thing but opposite in that I do not eat or drink anything with calories until 9:30 or 10:00 am which is a moderate sized meal I call my breakfast/early lunch. Then a light mainly...

From what I see when I am out in public its the opposite. I see alot of nice looking older women who appear to have kept themselves up nicely walking around with some seriously train wreck looking older men.
