Almost 6lbs per week over 5 weeks. That’s a calorie deficit of over 20,000 per week…

Solo, have you got beef with the OP?

Sure, physical mechanics involve more than do more & eat less cake, but it’s an excellent basis from which to start.

What ultimately works is being ‘in tune’ with your own body & metabolism, which people will become upon sustained dietary control & exercise – papers/studies/diets are useless once that point is reached.

solo – you presume Err, no I do not I was always a slim racing whippet – you are wrong.
i once tipped the scales at 15 stone.
then i discovered exercise and eating less.
and it worked [b]For me[/b] Although I can’t explain how exactly my body has achieved this weight reduction. I can’t tell you how healthy I am on the inside nor whether I can continue to maintain my lower body fat percentage, once I stop racing.

T, FTFY.
😉

5 weeks ago I was 14.5st and today I’m 12st 4lbs and that the method I used to achieve this was to eat less and move more. It really is simple stuff.
Let me take this chance to congratulate you. Sincerely, thats good work, well done !
However, I know you’ll forgive me for pointing out that for someone who appears to know little about the details, claiming that its nothing more than moving more and eating less. Might attract some comment !

How heavy are you Solo?
I’m fine thanks.
😉

And Solo – what are your qualifications that allow you to fully understand all of those reams of research?
I get by 😉 How about you ? how are you getting along, buying and reading all the text that you have, recently.
*reading list*

Also who races ? Gave up racing as a hobby many years ago, you mean surely , if i can maintain it when im confined to my bed unable to move ?

glupton: face the facts man. Solo can scientifically prove, with research papers and everything, that you haven’t actually lost any weight and your belly disappearing is pure coincidence.

😆

(well done lad – good effort!)

Oh FFS this is stupid now. Well done OP, don’t bite. Solo, you’re being an arse!

Night!

Oooh, see what I did there?!

Ah ok , when i get some of those il be sure to post.

most weight loss studies use obese diabetic post menopausal KFC bucket hosing giffers as a study group, as they’re the ones who get ill.

moderately fit healthy blokes who’ve been on the pies a bit so need to drop a few kg’s are a sadly neglected group.

Night..

Aye his anti psychotics are playing havok with his insides.

@glupton congrats from me and thanks for sharing the story ….

Glupton.

You posted facts on your weight loss without revealing the entire picture. That you take meds which stimulate your appetite.

Again, if you’re happy, I am too, but please do not lecture me on how its just a case of move more and eat less.

Don’t tell me – it’s your thyroid isn’t it solo?

if you was on meds, you did probably piss out half the weight loss, mind you OP.

I feel a bit sorry for him. Someone posts a nice positive, non preachy post about getting a bit of control and feeling healthy (and lighter) for it and he feels the need to be an asshat. Not only that he feels compelled to find himself an “amusing” image to illustrate his point. I wouldn’t want to live in his world – it must be a bit sad. I’m guessing a bit lonely.

Well done you op.

Well that was a fun read! The op shares his good news that he is off the tubby list by fair means and just gets a load of grief from Solo for not posting his full medical history and backing up his methodology with a **** Harvard system based reference list.

Mental. Just mental.
