@JLeslie Mainly how different amounts of specific things will change your body.
@livelaughlove21 “Plus, there’s no logic in being able to eat a plate of bacon but not an apple because of carb content. I swore off of low carb for this reason.”
I’ve decided to stay from any “fad” diets or ones that cut out something 100 percent often it ends badly in the long run.
“Then you’ll find the people that swear they can’t lose weight if they eat more than 1000–1200 calories per day (resisting the urge to call BS on that one), and a whole other camp of people that say 1200 calories is the absolute lowest you should eat and still isn’t sufficient for someone that isn’t a very petite, inactive female. And you’lll find research supporting both points of view!”
Yes exactly this why I am interested in more truthful and factual information on the effects of certain nutritional values on a person. From what I’ve learned the diet needs to be tailored to the person’s lifestyle and goals.
“Here’s another one: vitamins. Are they useful, necessary, or completely pointless because you’re just peeing all of the nutrients out anyway? Again, you’ll find research supporting all of those viewpoints”
I don’t know much about it, but apparently lacking certain things or eating certain things can block the absorption of them. Or take too much of it and body dumps leftovers which some supplements are overloaded with.
Which in the end is the point I was trying to get at or ask. I don’t want a gimmicky bullshit diet or something. I want to know the real science behind it. A lot of these big websites I think are just in it for the market because hell…It sells! America buys bullshit, even I do unfortunately I learn the hard way sometimes.
@zenvelo I like your approach and thought process on it. I am experimenting to a degree, but with healthy alternatives.
