I'm going to assume that because if someone is carrying around (50) pounds of fat, they could drop their caloric intake by (1550) calories per day which may be over half of what they actually take in. I do not think this would work well.
Bench: 4 BILLION pounds
Dead: 135
Squat: 75 x 1.5 +10
Goal: Try to create the ultimate no-training, no-pain strength-gaining workout. Think about it, I'll be rich if I can create a workout where people lose huge amounts of fat with one workout a month

Lets see why I think its bull
Take a guy of 280lbs and 30%bodyfat
he is carrying 84lbs of fat
84x31=2604
his maintainence would be
280x15=4200
So according to the article it would be acceptable for him to cut on
4200-2604=1596 calores
BULL****

Are you aware that just because someone is petite and small boned, that doesn't mean they are skinny or fit. I have always had a slow metabolism, and it makes everything so difficult. But I decided to take charge, and look the way I want. I have poor digestion, I never wanted to eat during the day because my stomach bloats to the point it's just ridiculous, even after the smallest amount of food. Now, I am completely miserable, because I worked hard for my body, and put alot into it. Now I'm back to stage one, only worse. My life has fallen apart in so many ways. I want to find out how to improve and speed up my slow metabolism and digestion. Also, I want to find out how to take off the excess fat I gained, and build up muscle. Currently, I have serious anxiety and barely leave the house ever. It got so bad that I'm not in school right now, along with OTHER health reasons. I don't know where to start. I'm hoping this site will be able to help me continue with my life again! x0x It's hilarious how noone pays attention to you until you come back the next year with blonde hair, a dark tan, a fit bod, and basically looking totally different.. thats low, I'm still the same person at heart, and always will be. x0x I spend pretty much everyday hoping to make some kind of difference. The **** that people do to each other is ridiculous. Like I don't even know where to start. I'm proof that people focus to much on whats on the outside rather than inside. My looks are quite deceiving. Before I changed my look, growing up was horrable, I have no good childhood memories because of other people. The only memories I have are terrifying. Now that I look different, people actually listen to what I have to say..? It's insanely pathetic. x0x Not now, but when everything is stable, I want to be a model. It has always been my dream, and I'll do whatever it takes to achieve that goal. Image is what attracts the eye. But, Image is only part of it, and is not everything. It does NOT last forever. Once I have your attention, maybe you'll actually see what I'm REALLY about, and how I want to get a positive messages accross. Like ****, open your eyes, there are girls everyday trying to starve themselves just to be accepted. WHY? Because people are so cruel, it needs to STOP! Show some love, everyone is beautiful, everyone is superior. Learn to RESPECT.

The "Are You Awares" stopped being funny about a year ago. But you put a lot of effort into this one so I did laugh.

a 280lb guy carrying 30% BF can definitely handle a 2600 calorie deficit with minimal muscle loss. This is of course assuming all other factors are done perfectly including diet and workout.
Hell I kept a 1500-2000 calorie a day deficit for a full month with minimal muscle loss.

nope, I said I am not an advocate of Ultra low calorie diets. I said I never recommend going under 1500 calories for a male and to create a calorie deficit with exercise instead. I kept my calories at 2200-2400 calories even during my Extreme short term diet. Even at that, I had weekly refeed days to keep my metabolism and leptin levels in check.Originally Posted by Bronkko
You posted my original thread that showed I said my calories were 2100-2300.
I still stand by that. I believe You should NEVER cut calories below 1500 a day. ever. Even if you are ultra obese, you should only drop your cals to 1500 at most and create the rest of the deficit with exercise.

I've done very well with this agenda. I read it a while ago and it made perfect sense.
You don't need to feed fat.
period.
The only suggestion I would make would be to gradually drop cals if you're highly overweight.
You can tiptoe around this stuff all day long if you want.
If you want to be 180 @ 10% then set your macro's and cals for this.
Everyone tries to complicate this stuff.

Science isn't about making complex calculations, getting a number that you don't like and the calling it bull****. The sun would still be revolving around us if that were the case, the first time those numbers popped up I'm sure they looked like BS too.
I took a glance at the article and the point seems valid and logical. Compare it to this: drink a gallon of oil and you'll probably be headed for the can halfway through. Why? There's no way of absorbing that much oil in one time. Why? The absorbtion is limited by the availability of enzymes (lipases), phospholipid connections and cholesterol salts. If it finally gets "dissolved" there still is a physical limit to how much you can absorb on the surface area of your intestines.
There simply is a limit to how much fat you can mobilize from adipose tissue. A limiting factor would certainly be the available lipases in the cellular membrane of those adipose cells, as would the available apo-lipoproteins needed to bind and transport fatty acids in the blood, and the simple amount of veins and total blood transfusion would be a factor as well.
I'm sure there's a way of quantifying this upper limit and that is exactly what they tried. I'm also sure that the provided number isn't holy and more a ballpark figure. Also, if you calculate some average examples for average people you'll see that the 31kcal/pound fat gets fairly close to the maximum deficit "golden rule" of 20% below maintenance which doesn't seem to be based on anything at all besides empirical observations. With this in mind you don't prove or dismiss a theory by using extremes as an example. A theory is usable when it holds up for the average majority. If you take extreme examples and get extreme numbers and then find it's BS, that's exactly what you should expect.

My calories were low when I lost a lot of weight...didn't lose any muscle either. I truly think it depends on the persons body. Right now I probably eat in 1700 cal...some days I probably take in 1000. On the weekends I visit my family and tend to stuff myself. I guess the refeed is keeping my metabolism going. Within the last two weeks i've dropped around 6lbs, that's with eating low and jogging 4-5x a week.
Only I can design me.
