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.

 

THIS IS AN AMAZING POST (that will only be read by ppl who dont need to hear it)!  glad to hear other ppl out here coaching to try and fix the insulin resistance first and foremost. its easy to spot the types struggling with it visually.... classic skinny all over guy, huge rounded meatball belly... and for those unsure im not being mean here, when you see this body type i can instantly tell the bulk of the food types youre eating, and the fairly simple fix.

 

want to lose weight but scared of starving? stop buying food "products", if its in a box or package, its a no.  fruit, veggies, meat, you can basically go ham eat as much as you want and stay under macros...... its impossibly hard to over eat on REAL foods, even if you tried your hardest (ask a bodybuilder)

 

very simple switch to get going without having to count/calculate, check lists or nutrition labels. eventually you might hit a wall and need to evolve, but so many ppl have  analysis paralysis and never start. literally the easiest way possible to get rolling!!!!!!!!

I love Buffalo and WNY, it's been many years but growing up there the city had to be considered one of the most segregated in America.  I'm sure not intentional, its just the way it was.   I can't speak to it now. 

Moved to NC few years back and its totally different here. I call it voluntary segregation up there. I wont pretend to know that about areas people live, but voluntary social segregation is very fitting. Its just so rare. i love it down in my state, at least socially, it never feels like that to me

Checked to see if there was anything else on this previously...apparently he just talked about this on a podcast with Shannon Sharpe...

 

Sounds pretty personal honestly, like one cop or a group of cops had some type of personal vendetta against him...getting pulled over multiple times leaving the game and practices while still on stadium grounds??  Has any other player reported anything like this?

 

Seems strange that he would be the only person this would happen to if it was this aggressive...

 

"Marshawn Lynch revealed on a recent episode of Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay podcast that police profiling was the reason he left the Buffalo Bills.

Lynch seemed almost at a loss for words as he told Sharpe about a series of incidents. “I’d get pulled over going to work, I’d get pulled over coming from work,” he said. “I got pulled over in the stadium leaving the game. I’m still on the property of the Buffalo Bills, and I got pulled over twice. In the facility!"

 

https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/marshawn-lynch-reveals-profiling-police-204320362.html

sounds like a good game plan by the police really. listen, i have fun memories of lynch as a seahawk, i can seperate the art from artist.... but dont let his silly goofy stick fool you.

 

he strong armed $20 from some chick at an Applebees (think he slapped her? dont quote me), who ended up being a relative to cops. Walked out on Bills. brought his own mini bottles places. 

 

anybody in NY will tell you the city you're driving in with expired registration/inspection, is going to pull you over, and farm you for $$, no matter who you are.

 

now go drive around drunk on chippewa with a gun and weed, run over some chick... STOP BEING STUPID!  i am not a rule follower, especially trivial ones that hurt nobody else, and effect me, i wont do em. i get it marshawn, you can do that and also not be a scumbag, but non-aggression pact is the only way.  this dude racked up MVP's in the Tread On Innocents League, his entireeeeeeeeeeeee time here.

 

i like the guy still even, he grew up some, it happens.  its pretty crappy to be a well off black dude in America, yelling racism, when you're really just being a dumb ass. I dont condone cops harassing black people for driving, but to be a high profile black man, doing the type of things that causes more black people to be stopped and harrassed, while crying about it......... its hypocritical, and a disservice to the black people hes supposedly "standing up for."

 

go be a good example.... or hell, just go NOT be a bad example.

Listen I'm not saying McDermott is a soft ass

 

But there's a time and place to be hard on your players... And verbally berating them on the sidelines really doesn't help any player focus

 

And daboll is a good coach... But he used the college mentality of screaming at your players on the sidelines during games... 

 

McDermott's approach of.. you're probably going to get your ass chewed out in private and it's going to be a hundred times worse

 

Is the better way than in the middle of the game

This you misread my post because that's exactly what I, atleast meant, to imply.

 

Do that s*** in private. I just don't think there's a need to dress a guy down in public, great way to lose a player.... not to mention I think it's more effective to handle it calmly, with the player knowing and thinking about having to go to principals office back behind closed doors. Also gives emotions a chance to cool down, where real listening can happen

Daboll was the aggressive one that was always yelling and screaming

 

And McDermott had to tell him to take a step back these aren't 19-year-olds that you can scream at and scare respect into

 

And then he became more even keeled 

I wouldn't let his calm demeanor fool you. Mcd is a type a, microdetail oriented perfectionist in character. I think he's a good man but professionally if he thinks someone isn't giving enough, or is cutting against the grain, I have no doubt he will bring the hounds of hell upon you lollllllll

 

He has major dad vibes. When he's on camera I sit up straight in my chair, close my mouth and listen 😅😂

 

Could be me but his type scares me more than the blowhard always yelling types. Nobody wants to let dad down. Nobody gives a **** about the step-dad always yelling

If catches were the only qualification, that would be important. Production is what makes you good. Davis produces, and well within the level of the top 50 guys.

 

TDs and yards produced are the type of things you look at. James Lofton didn't have a ton of catches either. But he got a lot of big plays and production. Other guys are more possession guys. It's still about production. They can still be terrific receivers depending how good they are and how important to their team. Production.

 

Davis is absolutely a #2. It's not even a question.  He's in a 5-way tie for 4th in TDs. That will change once today's games are counted, but he'll be easily within the range you'd expect of a #2.  He's 27th in yards. That also will change with the new numbers, but again, very easily within the expectations for a #2. This ain't rocket science.

 

 

He would have the same stats as a #3 as a #2.  He can still start on the outside and be a #3. We need someone catching more balls than him. He could easily do all this and maybe more as a #3.... its not like his targets would go down, hes not a reliable option play to play

[OK all you smart guys...]

77% of Davis's career catches resulted in 1st downs.  17% were TDs.

Gabe Davis has caught 70% of the balls thrown to him this year. (21 catches on 30 targets). Most of his catches have been for 1st down or TDs. He's having the most efficient season of his career by FAR.

 

Unacceptable stat lines. He has played better at times, but its not enough. # unacceptable games. If this were in a vacuum, maybe this is OK, but its a continuation of what hes showed his entire career. 

 

Put it this way.... Cole Beasley 50yards or Gabe Davis 50 yards.... same numbers..... which one of the two would be more impactful?

 

Theyre the same number, yet 90% of the board would know which one would be more impactful.

Targets is a weird stat. The QB could be throwing it away but since the receivers in the area it’s a target to them even though they had zero chance to catch it.

Yet every WR is subject to the same variable

So by your definition Meyers (LV Raiders WR now) is a good WR 2.

This really isnt complicated. Were not breaking down the nuance of Y-Banana Split 2 Zebra Cake... you need to have 2nd mopst targets, catches, yards and help move the chains. When you can reliably move the chains your offense can stay on the field and start to get in a rhythm. 

 

Getting 1st downs is the most basic fundamental goal of an offense. Field position, time of possession, keep the defense fresh, wear their defense out, incorporate more plays/looks which makes defenses have to think more than react.... when you go 3 and out none of that happens.  Getting a first down does so much more than just "move 10yards"

I'm tired of reading about how Davis "isn't a good WR2 but he'd make a decent WR3." Can any of you provide a coherent explanation what the qualities of a good WR3 are that are different from a good WR2?

 

(I doubt it.)

 

i literally cant believe im still reading this, this isnt complicated.

 

a #2 can consistently get open, have 5+ catches that helps keep defenses honest and MOVE THE FREAKING CHAINS. gabe does not help us sustain drives. he has the occasional random intermediate catch for 20yards, and then his night is done. #1 & #2 should be the pillars, having several catches, moving the chains, and help open things up for one another. #1  & #2 should be release valves to help a QB get in a rhythm and allow the QB to neutralize a pass rush.... if ones not open, the other almost always is

 

bUt GaBe iS oN pAcE fOr 1k yArDs...... 50% of games he disappears, he does NONE OF THIS ^^^^. no offense, but just looking at his season stats as a whole is a completely simpleton way of looking at a player. are you intentionally ignoring your eyes?!  were you pretty happy with  a #2 having 3 catches, 21yards, and a fumble

The Bills won. It didn't look anything like we hoped or expected, but they won.

 

Bills Mafia and the media are responding like it's a loss. Tony Dungy remarked postgame that Josh Allen sounded like a quarterback who lost.

 

There was a lot of talk about the Bills possibly benefiting from less pressure this year, but I don't think that's the case. I think there's a lot of internal and external pressure on this team to not only win but also win big and pretty.

 

I'm not sure this feeling exists in other NFL cities. I think we might need an attitude adjustment, or the weight of expectations could undo this team.

If the team pays any attention at all to fan expectations, they're in the wrong. Good teams keep the blinders on to fan criticism and praise.

 

I believe we do that, but who knows.
