Without going into a long diatribe here, I just wanted to say the whole calorie deficit thing is bullshit. Calorie deficits and much of what is taught about weight loss, food and its affects on our body is phony and is perpetuated because people don't know any better, including most doctors and nutritionists.

If you actually want to lose weight and cure a myriad of other ailments plaguing the world and especially western society then cut out carbohydrates/sugars and yes this includes fruits.

In the past I've tried every fucking cleanse under the sun - I went vegan for 6 weeks - I exercised and "ate right" - I did a serious bootcamp and saw it all the way through and all of them produced NADA, except sometimes weight gain not to mention terrible triglyceride levels to the point my doc jokingly told me I was too young for a liver transplant and had to do something. I then went very very low carb/zero sugar and lost 20lbs with no exercise, I've kept 15 of it off for almost a year now and blood test levels are finally normal.

If you're interested in the science of it what is healthy and how the body works and the history of how fraudulent "common knowledge" or "common sense" regarding food in our culture came to be try ready Why We Get Fat and what to do about it by Dr. Gary Taubes. If this type of thing is new to you it will blow your mind and if it's not new to you it will blow your mind.

Get a bicycle and go to work that way.

No more traffic jams, fuel costs, parking costs etc.

I ride over 80 miles a week to work and back.

Keeps me as fit and I'm doing my bit to combat global warming too!

I did too but now my teeth are fucked.

Ok, so you're saying that scientific fact is wrong but the old Atkins diet fad is right?

I agree with you that zero sugar is the way forward because it's sugar that makes us fat, not the fat content of food. As you pointed out, fruit is very sugary and so much of our food now has sugar in it as a preservative that anything sugary should be avoided.

However low carbs isn't healthy. Cutting carb quantity is sensible but the body needs carbohydrates in order to retain water and remain hydrated. If you cut carbs and sugar but take in 4000 calories a day you'll still get fat and that's an absolute fact. I've always had eating issues but was 110 pounds (dangerously underweight) for years despite eating a carb heavy diet.

So, basically the common sense science that calories are measures of energy and your body needs X amount of energy to function a day (depending on the amount of activities you do)... and if you don't take in the amount of calories your body is burning, then your body sources the extra energy from fat / muscle stores to keep running.....is BS?

Instead, we are magic and you can do whatever you want and as long as you stay away from pasta you will lose weight and be hawt.

Seems legit ~_~

It's more complicated than simply calories in / calories out. You will lose weight with a calorific deficit but there are many (health) benefits with low-carb diet/nutrition. There is loads of research in that area and plenty is freely available on the interweb.

Whether you burn a few extra calories by shifting the macronutrient composition towards fat and protein moreso than carbs doesn't take away from the basic principle of caloric surplus and caloric deficits. Westerners are overweight because of caloric overload (ad libitum eating) and sedentary activity. It's not like potatoes and oatmeal were harmful in decades past. That it correlates with a higher carb intake doesn't mean that there's actual causation.

The essence of low carb diets is that they're incredibly hard to create a caloric excess on, but you still won't lose weight if you're not creating a deficit no matter the macronutrient composition (whether it's 70/10/20 CFP or the other way around).

Good advice. I imagine it's colder riding a bicycle in Birmingham, England than Birmingham, Alabama. You're a tough gal for sure. Watch out for those bumps in the road unless you lean toward them.

I try to walk everywhere and leave the truck behind myself. Do as many errands on foot as possible.

The only bumps I like are those tucked inside a tight pair of panties!
