No, that's really scientific. That's just blind trial and error.
I don't have any qualms about people testing out different diets, just do so under professional direction as there is much misinformation out there.
No, I don't just Google it, I have taken various college level courses on nutrition and disease prevention and I go through well-regarded online sources as well as my textbooks. I am not expert but it isn't a fallacy to rely on experts for expert knowledge. That's why they're experts.
Want to lose weight? Find your calorie maintenanceand eat 500 under.
Want to gain weight? Find your calorie maintenance and eat 10-20% over.
I mean the myth that breakfast kickstarts the metabolism when it doesnt. It's a completely irrelevant meal should one decide to forego it
Yet you keep scoffing at low carb solutions despite peddling the same diet advice that hasn't slimmed Americans down.
I want someone to lay out the case against Diet Soda for me. About 8 weeks ago, I stopped drinking all soda because someone told me diet soda was just as bad as regular soda (body reacts to the sweetness, makes it harder for the body to process food, whatever). I am not overweight at all but I thought it made sense to just give it up since it was just empty and I don't even like it anyway. So now I only drink water and milk. I switched from 2% to skim and use that with my morning cereal, which is Special K.
Is diet soda really bad? And I'm not even talking about behavioral stuff-- so not that it makes people think they're ok to eat other calories or convinces people they are really dieting when they are not-- but just from a pure nutritional point of view. Is diet soda something to stop drinking?
I find breakfast tires me the fuck out. I'm groggy and have no energy for hours. If I skip it and wait till lunch, endless energy all day
How does one do this?
Looks solid enough alright.
Losing fat is really quite simple.
Work towards gaining muscles, eat clean, and have patience.
On the average, this is not true. While the human metabolism does initially decrease by 35% after zonking out (2), it later increases significantly when you achieve REM sleep.
The research seems to indicate that consuming drinks that are sweet but calorie free may have some negative consequences (in terms of weight gain), but the mechanisms aren't well understood. You can't go wrong with water.I want someone to lay out the case against Diet Soda for me.

For the record I have never consumed regular soda.
Um, again reducing processed carbs and sugar is taken as a fundamental weight-loss and this has been accepted. You don't have to have a restrictive diet or gluten/carb free diet unless you do have something like Celiac and still lose weight or be healthy.
If you want those restrictions go do it, but don't act like it's the ultimate answer.

I don't even know what to believe anymore when it comes to fitness information.
Going into ketosis is something that's very restrictive and has all the negative effects of diet adherence as any fad diet.It's the most effective way though. Due to insulin and it's role in fat storage.
I could take or leave breakfast, but generally, either bacons and eggs and/or a fruit or two will do.
Before I used to have a coffee with a bran|carrot muffin or croissant or whatever.
I dont generally get hungry until lunch these days, as I have late dinners.
And just to add to my previous posts, there are no other factors in my day to day life that would effect weight such as prescription medicine as I take none.
Yes and keep a cheat day, so you don't feel so restricted.Just keep to the obvious information. Don't eat processed shit, exercise regularly, prepare your own meals and cutback on calorific drinks.

Depends on the bread and amount. Whole wheat and oatmeal are pretty good. Stay away from stuff like dinner rolls, burger buns, white bread and limit the amount.
I'm losing weight by eating about 3/4 cup of bran cereal with milk, of course and a 3/4cup of yogurt plus fruit and a small portion of the food that my family makes at dinner. If I do snack it's on carrots and celery.
Here is how I lost weight:
Downloaded P90x and Insanity.
Stopped eating fast food and drinking soda.
Profit.

See, I'm often hungry the moment I wake up, and I always eat late dinners (8 or 9 at night). I'm pretty good at ignoring the hunger, but I have a tendency to get into a bad mood when I don't eat, so I often cave. It may have a lot to do with what I eat (very carb/grain heavy), but I'm not in a position to try anything like paleo/primal, atm.

Plenty of nutrition rich vegetables and legumes have carbs. Very little processed whole grains have great nutrition as well and are low GI.
You don't need to do keto. You can get plenty of nutrients from veggies and fruits while following a low carb diet.
Only read rule #1, and I fully agree. I lost my weight by cutting down to 1 meal a day (with a bowl of cereal for breakfast). Shit works.
No he ate cereal for breakfast and then one meal.You ate one bowl of cereal for the entire day?!?! That isnt healthy at all
No, ketosis is completely different in nature from an all-grapefruit or liquid protein diet or whatever. Are you serious here?
It's labeled as such by the scientific and medical community. Given that its only therapeutic use by John Hopkins in epileptic patients under supervision.

Check here.How does one do this?

You have a much higher chance to rebound due to restrictions, plus higher chance of ill effect when going off diet.What manner of negative effects? Compared to which fad diet(s)? I don't understand what your assertion means.

It's also been used in trials as a potential treatment for otherwise intractable cancers and with Alzheimer's patients. The fact that it has active therapeutic uses should be enough to indicate that it's effects are, again, completely different in nature to your average "fad diet." Anyway, you're the one who acts as if giving up bread is going to instantly push you into ketosis.
Right, that's why you came out of the gate with this gem:
As well, you keep referring to "the scientific and medical community" like it is some monolithic organ that keeps a unified front of agreement and regularly issues statements on what it approves and what it doesn't, when the nature of practicing science - slowly, with lots of mistakes, and carefully trying never to jump to drastic conclusions - in reality often conflicts with the public desire for easily digestible information. In the past, this has directly led to many of the fads and problems you complain about, like the low-fat craze of the 80s and 90s (a direct consequence of diet advice emanating out of Ancel Keys' anti-fat crusade and consequent support by the USDA and other major dietary-advice-dispensing organizations.)
Low fat pushed by administrative executives and no real science was so cool. And it's still in effect today.
