Nobody should ever pay for somebody to hold his or her hand or pay for free information was all I was saying, and that is all any personal trainer or dietician or anyone could ever offer anyone who is losing weight.
Anyone who plateaus on weight loss or reverts is a baby. I get that people are babies, that is why I posted, to help anyone who actually needed it. It is pretty easy to recount all the particulars of how I dealt with any cravings or how specific I get with dealing with any cravings, things like making sure to keep as many big meals as possible directly after big workouts. Eating fruit, drinking protein shakes, eating oatmeal & yogurt, and then eating whatever you want for your last 700-800 calories is all that is necessary to do on a day you get no cravings (at my height, which is average height). It is cool that you help fucking babies or whatever youngjake, I am knocking it because if anyone is posting in a thread for encouragement, support, or looking for advice, then that advice should be enough. I eat pizza & breadsticks every week, and chips most weeks. Weight loss is just about figuring out a calorie number (can be estimated within reason with just height weight and a goal date, and you can tell if it was accurate when you lose lol) and amount of times you have to work out to lose at close to the rate you want. Bad habits mean nothing if you are even mildly serious about dieting, most people are just not even mildly serious. All the information that ever has or needs to be out there on this subject is pretty much already out there, for all I am writing like we keep saying, tl;dr eat less move more is the real point. Keeping the mental side of things in control as far as that goes is just entirely about seriously wanting the loss. Except for the .1% of poor bastards with an actual thyroid malfunction or whatever.
Soul Fly, I appreciate you trying to be supportive, the part I was bristling at is the dietician suggestion, because no one should need help putting together a diet at ALL in 2014, and also bristling at your suggestion like I was not losing as much as I wanted to. Not losing more is the entire point, if I wanted to have something to brag about as far as loss rate goes, I would just run the weight off or starve myself. Everyone says that losing more than 1.5-2 pounds a week is probably around the border of unhealthy, for stretch marks or whatever other reasons they may have, and I have lost exactly 2 pounds a week average lol... I am not stressed in particular either way, if you have proof that the 1.5-2 pounds thing is a myth cool. I set 100 pounds as a goal because it is very easy to bring to mind and I 1000% did not want to meet the goal. Within reasonable average experience, the whole "putting weight back on" thing is something you do when you yo yo diet or are incredibly bad at life. No one puts back on 100 pounds lol. It takes excess calories to gain, it takes calorie deficits to lose. A person just has to mildly pay attention, maybe check their weight once a week if they are too lazy to have been keeping track of what they are doing.
Stallion, I do not think there is even supposed to be any impairments I have ever heard about. There are a lot of cancer claims and arguments, so it is not like there are not potential health considerations. The main weight related argument is that you feel like you saved calories, or maybe some insulin response, so you are magically automatically compelled to eat. Which is really just people saying that people make shitty excuses for themselves, nothing ever forces you to eat. Definitely there is no way Red Bull is going to make you bloated, dehydrated, or in any way make you eat more than you choose to eat.
