Absolutely not.Calories in vs. calories out
This would be dependant per person. I must be a freak cause high carb, low carb, high protein, low fat, high fat, no matter what I do I can lose. I would say that changing the macros around does change the appearance of muscle definition for meAbsolutely not.
The reason people tend to believe this is because when people lower calories, they tend to lower carbs. Lowering carbs causes the body to burn fat. All calories are not created equal.
Not quite, and I have posted against this before in that other thread you called me out on. Being in a calorie deficit mobilises fatty acids whilst exercise enables the mobilised fatty acids to be used as a fuel regardless of whether you lower carbs or fats. The ideal words being calorie deficit.Absolutely not.

No, but you keep calling peple out on things that hold truth yet the things you posted have been refuted many times.Ok, well I will give you this
"If you are consuming enough fat to meet all your body’s requirements, your body won’t go after the fat in the fat cells no matter how severely you restrict your carbs. You will burn dietary fat only and no body fat. And you won’t lose weight." Low-carb and calories » The Blog of Michael R. Eades, M.D.
But again, if you drop calories without dropping any carbs (meaning you drop fat + protein) lean tissues will be targeted for energy. So although you may weigh less pounds/kg, we need to address body composition % changes from lean tissues vs. adipose tissues.
and this is interesting as well

PS- are we holding a grudge? lol. relax, it's only the internet
No, just you, and only when you're wrongNo, but you keep calling peple out on things that hold truth yet the things you posted have been refuted many times.
In any case, the law of thermodynamics still holds weight here; and I have posted studies that show that high carb-low fat diets do indeed work. When in a calorie deficit, the body is able to release FFAs into the plasma for use as a fuel.
Just an observation, the first thing you posted actually doesn't support your viewpoint? It states that if you meet your daily requirements via fat then you won't burn fat no matter how much you restrict your carbs. he is referring to the law of thermodynamics, restricting carbs whilst still at maintenance will not result in weight loss.
Battle of the alphas!? Lol. Your a joke. Do you even have any nutritional/chemistry/biology educational background to bring to the table? Or do you just read shyt and take it as gospel. Pretty sure it's the latterInternet battle of the alphas lol
Let me help you...Your a joke.
Let me help you...
It's "you're." That's the funny part
Like I said, a jokeBut you could be right, I have no idea how I lost 8" off my waist
How exactly am I wrong? Even if carb intake constitutes the majority of your daily diet, if the amount consumed does not match the amount needed for daily activity, the body mobilises its own stored energy (majority fat) to restore energy balance (homeostatis). And thus activates weight loss.No, just you, and only when you're wrong
It's hard to have a discussion with you without you taking it personally. So I'm not sure how to respond.How exactly am I wrong?

That looks fine. Best of luck with your goalsI was gonna start my cardio at 5 days a week. M(hiit ), T(liss), W(hiit), Th(liss), F(hiit). I was just wondering how much is too much. Hiit will last 20 min or so. Liss 45 at a lil faster the a walk. So fast walk haha. If you guys have any suggestions or criticism I wanna hear it.
Thanks

You said I was wrong, so i asked where I was wrong.It's hard to have a discussion with you without you taking it personally. So I'm not sure how to respond.
And low carb worked for you which is good, but that does not imply it is the only way to do something. It is just one means to an end, not the only means. You said someone else was wrong by stating that by lowering carbs it is the only way to lose weight, I disagree. You can achieve weight loss without altering carb intake.If we could just discuss and not compete for the internet's biggest d!ck, perhaps we could both learn something. I don't know everything and don't pretend to, but I do know I had a 42+" waist for 3 years and now I have a 34. So telling me I'm wrong for doing stuff that's worked for me ain't going to fly.
Now, if we are back on topic, I'm game to discuss.
Got page not found for those pubmeds. Anyhow, to each his own. I know low carbs works for fat loss for me based on my research and my results. All good here, check your repsAnyway, i'm going to leave it here.
Nobody is saying it doesn't work, but that it works because you are in deficit! A friend of my started a low carb diet when I asked him track calorie intake he was over 1000kcals under maintenance and he thought he was eating enough! Its all about the deficit baby!Got page not found for those pubmeds. Anyhow, to each his own. I know low carbs works for fat loss for me based on my research and my results.

I'm not a fan of high carb diets as often a high carb diet implies a low fat diet. I myself follow a low carb diet, only began that this year and i'm interested to see how it affects my blood panel. I like the idea of foods that were most prevelant during hunter-gatherer times (less processed) as the focus is on fats and proteins and minimal carbs; but this is really the subject of intense debate.Hey, I've been lurking on these forums for quite sometime. I'm new to this posting thing, but this particular subject and the research you posted has me interested.
Jiigzz, Would you actually recommend a high-carb over a high-fat?
My cuts in the past have pretty much consisted of a low-carb approach. (The first was from 260 to 180, nothing special though, just a consistent calorie deficit) but the potential benefits of a high-carb, low fat, seem to be advantageous and favorable from my standpoint compared to those of a high-fat one.
Ah, they should work now;Got page not found for those pubmeds. Anyhow, to each his own. I know low carbs works for fat loss for me based on my research and my results. All good here, check your reps
Exactly my friendHonestly as long as you are getting enough protein then the amount of carbs and fats you take in arent going to manifest into a significant difference in terms of body composition changes
