While there is some truth to this, it is a bit simplistic. For instance, in medieval times, (peasant) women and men would both be bound to work as equals or near-equals in managing their home. Both...

Consistency and patience is the key to looking good natty.

Some of the routines I see I often think "how the hell can people take so much volume?". I think a lot of that is often "junk volume"....

Yeah it's great, just rewatched it yesterday. I agree that it may be even better than the first one.

It is not moronic, it is backed by science. Couple of examples:

And if you are right,...

He admits to gear use, unlike 99.9% of youtube fitness people.

No, it is a different thing. Starvation mode suggests that the metabolism somehow "crashes" in a calorie deficit so that it is impossible to lose weight. Metabolic adaptation refers to the fact that...

Starvation mode is a myth. "Metabolic adaptation" is real, but much less important than people often suggest.

He is honest, that's why people like him. The quality of a physique is mostly about genetics anyway.

It often contains systematic biases. To get an idea, compare the calorie counts of the app with what is stated on the food labels. Use the most conservative estimate. Does this change your estimate...

Do you use MyFitnessPal to determine calorie counts on different food items?

Any cheat meals/restaurant meals?

What is his definition of an intermediate?

Interesting. I suspect this to be different for extremely long cuts though. I cut from 230 lbs to about 175 lbs last year and was going insane after 9 months of cutting without any breaks.

A bit...

But why put a wildly inaccurate statement like that on his "science-based" website?

Of course you are assuming. Your theoretical plan is one thing, the practical implementation of it is another.

I just had a look at this "Why diets fail" approach by Norton and he basically claims that metabolic adaptation can make weight loss impossible or even make you gain weight eating in a deficit! And...

You are assuming he will create a deficit through exercise. If that doesn't happen this will be a bulk... it is safer, in my opinion, to eat in a small deficit or at least aim to maintain his weight...

You just told an overweight person, who doesn't understand the basics of calorie tracking, to bulk? Are you for real?

There is a big risk that he will end up obese and less healthy by taking your...

So those 2 cheat meals probably ruined much of your deficit.

Suppose I eat 1500 calories Monday-Friday, and otherwise count calories perfectly (no counting errors). I then do some cheat meals on...

Ok but at that point you said that you had been eating it regularly, and my advice was based on that information. It's going to be difficult to give you sound advice if you don't provide accurate...

The other thread that you are referring to is less than two weeks ago (in the Nutrition section), so the above information is not accurate. You were at maintenance until at least February 4., after...
