so does cocaine

As does a nap. Energy level anyway.

speculation

Yes, but holds true in many non-human organisms. Hard to study humans.

I’ve “herd” good things about deer antler extract.

Once here I posted medical (orange) diet. Here is the link:

I lost 15 kg (33.0693 lbs) in three weeks a couple of years ago.

To retain post diet weight, one should completely change the eating habits.

There is no debate about whether quality or quantity of food is a main factor for healthy, sustainable weight loss & weight maintenance. Those who argue that you can eat whatever as long as you watch calorie intake/outake are either already fat asses with strong unfounded beliefs, or have fluctuating weight and are borderline overweight but convinced themselves it works because so far they haven’t exploded into 300lbs whale. No - it’s all about quality of food, first and foremost, above and beyond - please don’t eat $hit. Even if your BMI is fine now, by eating $hit you will often feel like $hit, have low energy, feel hungry and eat more $hit and generally look like a bag of potatos in terms of body shape. You need to be selective about your food, and once you start eating quality food and keep at it, eventually you will eat as much as you are hungry and as often as you are hungry - your body will know.

^LOL Tell that to 92 year old Charlie Munger…

Entirely doable. I’ve dropped 37 pounds since end of February on diet alone. I calculated my resting metabolic rate (updated it each week) and make sure I have a decent caloric deficit 6 days/week. I give myself a cheat day every week and don’t go nuts on that day. I kept a calorie log everyday for the first 2 months and just wing it now. I eat a lot of egg beaters for breakfast and a lot of chicken with broccolli and cauliflower for lunch and dinner. When I get tired of egg beaters, I have Cheerios instead (light on the milk) and do grilled scallops when I get tired of chicken. I drink no calories except on my cheat day (and the milk in my Cheerios) and again don’t go nuts.

Edit: I also drink 2-3 liters of water/day to flush everything out and help maintain metabolism.

I also don’t consider this to be a sustainable thing, but plan to drop 10 pounds below my long-term target weight and let my body re-equalize when I go back to more normal eating habits.

Anecdotal evidence - I read a while back about a guy who wanted to prove that “It’s not WHAT you eat, but HOW MUCH you eat.”

So he ate a strict diet of only 1,200 calories a day, but he ate total crap, like Dorito’s, powdered sugar donuts, and M&M’s.

Result - he lost a lot of weight.

Don’t know if this “proves” anything or not.

Also anecdotal-I think it’s more about the combination of what you eat and how much you eat.The fastest way to lose weight is to chop one of your limbs off ,but is it the healthiest way ? Usually we want to have a healthy body along with a healthy waist line.

Yep, we’ve agreed on this before. To add on, many people shed weight first then bulk up. While ideally, yes, you should eat healthy foods throughout, dieting is pretty hard for most folks anyway. Watching net calories while eating what you like to get to your goal weight is much easier. And, losing the fat is the main goal. Being a health nut on the way down just adds incremental value.

Then when you’re ready to put on muscle, that’s when you really should pay attention to what you eat. You still need to watch your calories (net positive, obviously) but with the right food to promote maximum swoleness.

(slow clap) This is a joke that I would make. Outstanding work, Ohai.

But to Itera’s original question, perhaps a stacked cycle of Winstrol and Clenbuterol would do the trick.

Forgot to mention that I have a good sized apple or pear as a mid-morning snack and then again as a mid-afternoon snack. Both are relatively low in calories for the mass of food you eat and are also high in fiber to keep you feeling full. Drinking a lot of water is really the key to feeling full though. When people think they’re hungry, most of the time they’re actually thirsty. Keeping busy helps as well.

Exercise is vital for overall health, helps keep metabolism up, and helps with keeping busy (I doubt many people have an urge to eat a dozen Munchins while training for their next MMA championship fight), but you have to exercise like a maniac to drop weight through exercise.

I think making any drastic changes all at once is a recipe for failure. I’ve slowly cultivated something that works for me but I could have never done it all at once. First thing was cutting out soda entirely years ago and moving to water (or coffee) only. If I want bubbles I’ll just get a sparkling water. Then I think I started to cut sugar out of certain things like said coffee, peanut butter, etc. Instead of grabbing carb/sugar loaded snacks I would bring almonds to work.

Sometimes it’s just as simple as turning down the free sh*t that we get fed at work. Free bagels, danishes, all that crap that we feed to clients… it’s tough to turn that stuff down when it’s right there for the taking but I’m generally always happy when I can manage the willpower to stick to the breakfasts I bring (hardboiled eggs, fruit). These days I’m really just trying to find good recipes that are high protein with lots of vegetables and relatively low carb. Who said no oils btw? Coconut oil is incredible.

Regardless, the point I’m making is I could never have done all of this in one fell swoop. It’s taken at least four years for me to get to a point where I’m happy with my weight and actually enjoy what I eat on a daily basis. I still will grab a cheat meal (or weekend, oops) here and there, but I can tell my body doesn’t like it cause I almost immediately feel like crap. Which is nice because it keeps me from falling off the beam and I get back to eating whole, unprocessed stuff pretty quickly. But I also know I can’t get to the point where I’m counting calories or hitting percentages on a weekly basis, nor do I ever want to.

^agree. if it takes a lot of time and habituating to get fat (not saying you specifically, just in general) then I don’t understand why people think they can just lose it all in a couple months and expect to be able to maintain it easily. good habits take time to form just like bad ones. if you do it right, healthy eating just becomes your way of life and the absolute key is that it doesn’t feel like a sacrifice – there are plenty of ways to get really satisfying sweet or savory flavors eating healthy (and not with processed shit that resembles eating cardboard).

for example – apples with unprocessed cashew butter tastes like candy to me now. great late snack. savory is really easy – good seasoning on meat with plenty of fat is heaven.

This. Do it consistently for a few months and you’ll lose inches on your waist.

In the summer when fruits are ripe and plenty I can go on weeks eating fruit only. I remember eating only watermelon for two weeks. A large 10kg melon per day. Only when I got alarmingly thin did I go back to normal. Felt livelier and healthier than ever. Even faeces started smelling nice…

You must be a chick. I eat a lot of fruits but can’t only survive on that. I need steak, chicken, fish, sweet potatoes en masse.
