    I was growing up too.  However in 99.8% of cases, the person can resolve it on their own. The issue really just comes down to "how big a margin of error do you have in terms of food choices"?  Some people have a giant margin for error and can virtually eat whatever they want without too many negative effects.  Some people have a very low margin for error.  At the end of the day it virtually all comes down to insulin sensitivity/insulin resistance.  

     

    People who are having issues losing weight need to stop focusing on calories and start focusing on eating foods that will not spike insulin. Calories are important at the end of the day but the TYPE of calories are more important. Insulin is a storage hormone and while it's active fat burning is basically shut off. Normally insulin rises and then quickly falls once cells take in the glucose from the bloodstream.  In insulin resistant people the cells basically ignore the signal and it takes far longer for the glucose to get into the cells, meaning insulin is active for much longer.  

     

    I could write a dissertation on this topic as I have repeatedly lost weight gained from winter "bulking" via these methods quickly and efficiently.  Most recently, I lost 65 lbs in about 6 months going from 245 lbs to 180 lbs, although this time it was a result of me completely falling off the wagon this time last year with diet and exercise.  Currently working to get to 165 lbs and 10% Bodyfat then start slowly adding muscle from there.  

     

    In general, if you follow these rules you will resolve any insulin related issues:

     

    1) Prioritize 7-8 hours of sleep every night, including staying on as close to the same sleep schedule as you can.  Lack of sleep screws up hormones BADLY and in favor of becoming insulin resistant and fat storing.

     

    2) If it comes in a bag or a box and has more than 1 ingredient, don't eat it.

     

    3) If it has sugar or High Fructose Corn Syrup(HFCS) in it, don't drink it.  Drink water. Lots of water. Flavor it at first if you must.

     

    4) Eat quality, complex, slow burning, fiber containing carbs - oatmeal, sweet potatoes, basmati/brown rice, beans, lentils, chickpeas, etc...

     

    5) Prioritize 1-1.2g of protein per pound of bodyweight. Protein is the MOST important macro for weight loss for 2 reasons: 

    • It has the highest Thermic Effect of any macronutrient at 30-40%, meaning your body must expend calories to enable the protein to be used
    • It helps to maintain as much muscle as possible while losing weight and ensures the weight lost is predominantly fat. The goal shouldn't be to lost weight, it should be to lose fat. Losing lean body mass is NOT what you want to as great a degree as possible 

    6) Try to eat the color of the rainbow everyday in terms of fruits and vegetables(especially vegetables). The different colors denote different nutrients and anti-oxidants the body needs.  

     

    7) Alcohol is the equivalent of a tornado on a building for losing weight.  Try to keep it to a minimum of 2 nights a week and 2 drinks on those nights.  I personally will not drink while I am training, I work too hard to lose 50% of the result or more.

     

    8 ) Focus on short, intense resistance training 20-30 minutes 4x a week and walking.  Just walking.  Only cardio you ever need. It is a tremendous burner of fat and vastly underrated.

     

    I personally am also a huge believer in fasting and I follow a 5:2 fasting protocol which means I don't eat twice a week.  This has a massive positive effect on insulin sensitivity and other metabolic factors. It's not necessary, but it definitely enhances results and efficiency.

     


    Excellent post. 
    If one needs to turn to meds, it’s why Mounjaro is EXTREMELY successful. Insulin resistance is huge. 
    I’ve lost 111 pounds in a little less than 5 months using it. AMAZING.

    Would you say the Devils/Rangers rivalry is as intense as the 90s? 


    The hatred is there, but the play hasn’t been. 

    I’m a huge fan of Schmid (Devils young goalie) and have been all year. 
    He has “it” and I legit think he’s going to be a star.

    I'll say this as a Sabres fan I wouldn't mind seeing Jersey win it this year simply because I'd love to see Lindy win a Cup


    The best was after one of NJs games, he comes in to do the press conference (it may have been when we lost in the playoffs to the Bengals) and immediately says “Let’s make this quick. The Bills are playing.”

    Dov Kleavage on Twitter: "BLOCKBUSTER: Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers has been traded to the New York Jets, pending physical. The Packers receive the Jets 2023 1st and a 2024 2nd that can become a 1st based off of escalators. The Jets lock in their franchise QB. Per sources. #Jets #Packers" / Twitter


    Uhhhhhh. Check where that tweet is coming from. 😂

    It's a still picture well before the snap and before the Bengals OL is even set.

     

    Did the Bills DB's creep up before the snap?

    Did they attack the sticks after the snap?

    Did the two LB's drop into zones on the seams?

     

    Unless you have video of the actual defense being run, this photo is completely meaningless, imo.


    No. That’s pretty much what it looked like at the snap.
