research on eating more fat

Interesting research on how if you eat or consume a lot of fat, your body holds onto it less. I know this is true for many other things in the body such as vitamins. The more you take the more your body lowers your ability to absorb them and dumps the rest in your pee. Same is true for drugs but they call it tolerance. thoughts on this research and the concept of fat tolerance?

skinny fat??

Well guys, I used to be skinny until coronavirus hit us and poom, fat. I'm 1,62 and my highest weight was 67 tho. I've been eating healthy and going to the gym regularly, but I noticed some things. The main part is: my arms and legs are way skinny now (and I realize there's a little bit of muscle) but my belly looks huge. I don't know if I'm bloated or if I'm just keeping my fat there. I reduced some waist cm (like 5 cm less in 4 months) but I'm not completely sure if it should be faster or not. I don't have any health condition. I can say, I didn't lift a lot until this month bc my hand was broken and my doctor said to wait until novemeber. So I focused in my legs. I kinda look like I'm heavier on the top part of my body. I'm getting an appointment with the doctor to check generally, plus nutritionist.

Also, my boobs are kinda saggy. Like, they used to be bigger than they are now even when I wasn't fat. But they look deflated or something. My body fat distribution sucks tho, ugh.

Idk if I can post pics but I'm gonna drop imgur links. I forgot to take side pics but I look like the mix of a stress belly and a mom belly post partum. Actually I'm not sure why am I posting but I guess some tips could help <3

What’s New Since 2017?

Hi all!

I was very active on this sub back in 2017, when I lost about 75 lbs (under a different username, u/Ms_Andry; went from 186.5 to maintaining around 110). I kept the weight off for a few years, but between a busy job, the pandemic, pregnancy, and being a new mom, I stopped making weight management a priority and ended up gaining most of it back.

I finally got back to a point where I felt ready and able to refocus on weight management and got started in late November. I did a lot of work the last time around to understand what foods and eating schedule kept me satisfied and enabled me to consistently hit my deficit target. I’ve largely gone back to that routine (with some adjustments due to intervening life changes) and thankfully it’s still very effective for me. I’m focusing on my diet for now, but I’m hoping to work on my activity level and add in some resistance training and cardio in the new year.

My question is this: While I know that the fundamentals haven’t changed – no revisions to the first law of thermodynamics as far as I’m aware! – I was wondering if folks have any recommendations for weight loss / weight management / health and fitness resources (apps, websites, other subreddits, podcasts, gadgets, cookbooks, important research findings, whatever) that have developed over the past 5 years that you’d recommend checking out? This stuff really helps me stay on track and I feel like several of my go-tos are a bit dated, so any recommendations you have would be much appreciated!

Anyway, it’s been wonderful to be back on this sub and it’s great to see some folks I remember from back in the day still on the mod team (heyyy u/denovosibi, u/hxcjosh23, u/ThatCanadianGuy88, and u/fluffstermcmuffin!) and to see u/funchords still out here giving super knowledgeable and insightful advice. This sub was incredibly helpful to me last time around and I’m excited to be getting back to work with you all!

Thanks in advance for any suggestions you have!

Tired of the b.s

I’ve fluctuated between 230 and 237lbs for a year now . I want to be 170 need help

I’ve been trying to lose weight , I’m always active as I’m in the navy. I basically workout everyday. I’m not fat but I’m big. I have muscles.

Can I mention I eat a lot in one sitting. I try to eat healthy but I eat fast foods sometimes too. What can I do to lose all 60lbs?

I’m 5’11 and half it that matters. All of my friends weigh like 180 lbs and I don’t like being big, I’d rather be leaner and skinnier.

I don’t train light I should mention, I always go hard as I hope to be navy special ops, so 4 mile runs every other day and swimming every other day. Calisthenics everyday.

I eat lots of meat might that be why I’m big. I want to always feel light and energetic. I am thinking eating only dinner will help me achieve this goal .

I’ve tried different diets- keto, vegan, pescatarian- and I never stick to any of them. I just love to eat food. Why?

Any thought is welcome, thank you.

How many Premier Protein drinks can/should one drink a day?

They’re so good! And so much protein! My trainer/nutritionist says probably only one because it’s best to get your nutrients from actual food, but I’ll do that once I get to a certain point in my weight loss lol

I don’t have the time (or honestly the motivation) to cook and they’re so easy to drink. I’ve been having a hard time getting all my necessary protein in.

What do you think? I would be nice to get 60g of protein through two drinks. If not, what are your favorite easy ways to up your protein intake?

The myth of starvation mode

Hey everyone,

There's a common belief that if you significantly reduce your caloric intake, your body will enter a "starvation mode" in which it will slow down your metabolism in order to conserve energy and make it more difficult to lose weight. However, this belief - often referred to as the "starvation mode myth" - is not supported by scientific evidence. While it is true that severe caloric restriction can lead to a decrease in metabolism, this decrease is generally not significant and is unlikely to significantly impact weight loss.

The human body is very adaptable and will adjust its metabolism in response to changes in caloric intake, but it does not significantly slow down in response to moderate caloric restriction. However, it is important to note that very low caloric intake can be dangerous and may lead to malnutrition. It's always important to speak with a healthcare provider before making significant changes to your diet.

Remember, weight loss is not just about calorie intake, but also about the balance of nutrients you are consuming and the amount of physical activity you are engaging in.

I hope this information is helpful!
