| Oct 15, 2011 at 22:59 | comment | added | mike | "if you eat say 2000 /day, but with 100++g of carbs, you will not lose fat." It's funny, I have worked with dozens of clients who lost plenty of fat eating over 150g of carbs. And no, I don't believe 'fat makes you fat'. Also, it's hilarious you think there is a 'correct' amount of carbohydrates -which somehow is 72 grams per day. | |
| Oct 15, 2011 at 18:07 | comment | added | Fattie | For completeness: if you eat 100+ g of carbohydrates per day (not to mention the typical 200, 300, even more...) you will constantly be hungry and would need impossible willpower to eat moderately. In contrast if you eat the correct amount of carbohydrates for humans (72 grams /day) you are never hungry, and always have energy, and you will only feel the need to eat an appropriate overall # of calories. Dietary CHO == hunger, Dietary Fat = gourmet satisfaction. I just mention this for anyone reading who wants to lose fat! | |
| Oct 15, 2011 at 18:04 | comment | added | Fattie | Mike, I'd guess you think cholesterol is "bad for your heart" and "fat makes you fat". Both those ideas are totally wrong, though. (But you would completely disagree with me.) Again it's the great "Carb Debate", which has two totally opposite sides - and can't be settled in a comment section! Heh! BTW the inuit are incredibly healthy. | |
| Oct 15, 2011 at 18:02 | comment | added | Fattie | Hi @mike, smashing your carb intake does reduce fat. The only action of eating carbohydrates is: to make your pancreas produce insulin. Insulin's primary overwhelming action: it causes triglycerides to form inside your fat cells. YES, you must also moderate your total calories. if you eat say 2000 /day, but with 100++g of carbs, you will not lose fat. If you eat 2000 /day, but with say 40g of that being carbs, fat will just roll off you. In short, what you say is 100% wrong. Of course, YOU think that what I say is 100% wrong!!!! :) it's the great Car Debate. To continue .. | |
| Oct 14, 2011 at 19:48 | comment | added | mike | Smashing your carb intake doesn't reduce bodyfat. Of course if he doesn't replace those carbs with any other calories, the person will most likely lose fat because they just reduced their overall calorie intake by 40% or more. It's extremely misleading and flawed to say carb intake is the main factor effecting fat loss; It is calorie intake. If low carb automatically meant fatloss, the Inuit would be continuously losing fat and dead. | |

| Oct 11, 2011 at 12:27 | comment | added | Fattie | @Christopher I don't have access to the whole paper, only the synopsis. (If you have the paper, lemme have it pls!) They would have had to measure fat in a number of areas of the body. Is that what they did? If so, on which other areas of the body did they measure the fat-reduction? | |
| Oct 11, 2011 at 1:40 | comment | added | Christopher Bibbs | @Joe Huh? Did you look at the data of measured reduction of leg fat? No, it wasn't the major point, but it was nonetheless observed. | |
| Oct 10, 2011 at 19:34 | comment | added | Christopher Bibbs | @Joe I wouldn't call a 15 year old paper a big claim. Tabat's methods have been studied quite a bit since. journals.lww.com/acsm-msse/Abstract/1997/03000/… | |
| Oct 10, 2011 at 18:50 | comment | added | Fattie | @Christopher: big claims require big evidence! (1) exactly which "spots" of the body did he reduce fat from (2) exactly how? It sounds like total nonsense really. the only way you can grow fat, is with insulin. There is no other mechanism. insulin == adipose cells intaking triglycerides. Insulin injections commonly cause fat increase near the site of the injection, over time. To make one particular part of a human body, empty out it's fat cells, in that particular part of the body, would require (somehow) controlling the hormones in that only area of the body. Don't you reckon ??? | |
| Oct 10, 2011 at 18:27 | comment | added | Christopher Bibbs | Strike the absoutely impossible. Dr. Tabata showed spot reduction in his initial research in the 90's. It only applies to trained atheletes and not to the level most people hope (a few %), but it is possible. | |
