re: Low Fat Diet Is Allegedly Wrong According to Report

In terms of body composition (weight gain) : no

See you are right and wrong by saying this. It very very much has an effect on body comp but you are 100% right on overall weight.

For overall weight its calories in vs calories out. But low carb does allow you to break the laws of thermodynamics but the amount is so slight its not worth it.

Carbs are not the enemy, neither is fat. I prefer lower carbs because of my taste and carbs give my GI problems and make me sleepy as hell. But everybody should make their own decision because if trying to lose weight(not concerned with muscle vs fat) all that matters is calories period.

CDX you said that sugars calories are not the same, thats 100% completely false. DO research on the twinke diet. if weight is your only concern than calories are all that matters. Also you said it takes 3500 cals to gain a pound, this is true for fat but not muscle. Muscle is much less.


again calories are all that matter for weight loss/gain. Nobody is breaking the rules of Thermo to any appreciable degree to get around this without the help of PEDs. It is what it is. Now to maintain muscle you have to keep protein high while maintaining a deficit while continuing to lift because in the end nobody wants to be skinny fat.


BTW there is a ton of stupid arse shite posted in this thread.
