1 Rule of a flat stomach

Congrats on the weight loss Isadoran.:groupwave:arty:

 

I was referring to deep-frying in general and the way people sometimes think that changing something from extra crispy deep-fried to just deep-fried will solve a weight problem (like drinking a diet coke with a 1400 calorie fast food meal).

McDonald's chicken McNuggets are light-fried at the factory and deep fried at the stores, in the U.S market. McD was selling deep fried chicken from the late 60s to the early 00s, trying to compete with KFC in the U.S. market. McD is currently test marketing deep fried chicken wings in the Atlanta area.

McD uses dimethylpolysiloxane as an antifoaming agent for the deep frying in the U.S. market.

 

An article that points out differences between ingredients and cooking procedure for McNuggets in U.S. and U.K.

The McNuggets sold in U.K. can be considered less unhealthy than those in the U.S.

 

Life simply isn't worth living without cheese, my friend!

 

SUGAR is the number one thing that makes people fat -- not fat. I eat tons of healthy saturated fats like coconut oil, olive oil, avocado, grass-fed beef, etc. and have lost 100 lbs doing so.

Cheeseburgers are not the healthiest thing you can eat, but the bun is probably the worst part of it.

 

All it comes down to is calories ingested VS calories burned

if you want to eat a lot and still loose weight then exercise even more

if you don't burn up what you are putting into your pie hole you are going to take on weight

 

Stop slamming energy drinks.

 

Chocolate Atkins Shake

1 packet sugar free chocolate pudding
1 cup of ice
1/4 cup of cream
16oz. Cold water

Place all ingredients into a blender, blend till ice is crushed.

 

I get what you mean now.

 

Well, there doesn't have to be a problem yet and perhaps there won't be one at all. It depends if you want to get as old as possible and how healthy you want to be when your old. The storing of too much saturated fat and calories in your body while hanging on the couch too much will catch up with you eventually. I doubt Mason still loves his lifestyle as much when his arteries are cluttered. Actually, I have no doubts: he won't.

 

I disagree with that. Actually, that has been disproven by most recent studies. Not all calories are created equal. Not at all. I can assure you that 1000 calories from refined sugar are far different from 1000 calories from lean meat or vegetables. They're different in how your body burns and utilizes those calories for fuel. When you eat sugar, you are actually storing fat, so those calories are not burned off the same way calories from other sources are burned off. I eat about 2,500-3,000 calories a day now (on average) in the form of organic fruits, vegetables, eggs, nuts, kefir, coconut oil, and organic beef and fish. The only thing I have gained is muscle mass.

There might be SOME truth to the whole in vs. out thing, but it's way oversimplified.

 

Alcoholic beverages are mainly carbohydrates and some people get very overweight consuming them.

Yup, definitely true.

I am working on toning my abs, so I am abstaining from alcohol until I reach my goals. However, I still was able to lose an incredible amount of weight while still drinking fairly heavily 1-2 nights a week.

 

How many units did you consume a night (approx)?

 

Fair points.

 

About 6-7 bottles of (usually) pretty heavy/strong ale.

 

I consider 'strong' to be 8-9 units per can (or bottle).
Gosh, I feel like an alcoholic now...
I tend to drink 3-4 cans of strong lager 5-6 nights a week.
I did have a blood/liver function test a few months ago and everything was normal - thank god.

That's definitely the cause of my round belly

 

Seriously, the ads are getting very weird in here. That has to be the spammiest ad on the whole internet.

 

I'm tempted to click on the 'get laid tonight' ad
