re: Advice Needed: Dr wants me to drop 20 pounds

190 at 5'-7" is not bad at all if you have decent muscle mass.
Brother that is awful. Doctors are all too often too scared to tell someone exactly how overweight they are so for a doctor to say he needs to lose 20 he likely needs to lose 40.
Losing 40 pounds would put him just on the high end of the “normal weight” range. So that’s really the minimum number you’re looking for.

Let coop keep cooking. They still have 9 outs to work with and we’ve seen them drop a 5 spot on us in an inning already this weekend

Over the last year, I have increased my weight to the 160s; however, I haven't made any changes to my fitness routine or diet (that I'm aware of). I am worried I have plateaued or my metabolism is shite.
It’s your diet. Eat real food and increase protein.

1000 crunches on machine
Excuse me, does that say one THOUSAND crunches? Twice a week? In an hour? Something isn’t adding up here lol
You do 4 hours on the elliptical per week? I personally don’t like the elliptical but it can be useful for low impact cardio. What’s that hour look like? 4 hours low intensity is fine, but add in some high intensity 1-2x per week. HIIT, Norwegian 4x4, etc..
Do you track any of this with a wearable? Heart rate, actual time of workouts? Something just isn’t adding up saying you’re OMAD and working out 8 hours a week but gaining weight. Either you’re greatly overestimating your workouts or greatly underestimating caloric intake
re: Alternate day fasting?

It’s just a means to restrict total weekly calories. If you are disciplined during your eating days and don’t consume obscene amounts of food you will lose weight.
What’s your goal here?

It’s totally brain dead to think that the consensus #1 team in the country with a top 8 RPI would be even a mild threat to not be a national seed. People just playing this up for clicks

I eat a box of fiber one bars and 2 lbs of meat daily. Never been healthier tbh
Tbh I would eliminate the meat. Too many carcinogens in the chemicals used to produce. Substitute with 2 more boxes of fiber one bars

There are a litany of fruits that have very little to no fiber. That isn't carnivore. You can incorporate foods from Mediterranean diet that have very little to no fiber. that isn't carnivore either.
So moving the goalposts again? Because earlier you said, and I quote
quote:
Cut out the processed and artificial foods and you won’t need or benefit from a single gram of fiber.
Look, I get your overall point and I wholeheartedly agree that everyone should eliminate all processed foods. But it just isn’t realistic on a population level at this point. People as a whole are just so uneducated. Telling people to track protein and fiber is a huge way to point them in the direction of unprocessed foods. And you get the added benefits of increased satiety and better digestion from fiber.
We are arguing the same thing. You are just shifting around and going to extremes to try to avoid fiber. And if you’re carnivore and it works for you, great. It can’t and won’t work for everyone. That’s where fiber is beneficial.
Enjoy your day :cheers:

I've never told a soul on here what to eat other than to avoid: processed foods fast foods sugary sodas/drinks of any kind
You say all of that then say fiber is totally useless.
Well doing all of that - minus fiber - equals carnivore :lol:

From the hundreds of thousands of Americans who have used different diets to cut out processed foods and all the sudden their inflammation, bloating, gut issues, and bowel issues miraculously disappeared without the use of Metamucil or stuffing their face with fiber everyday. This is extremely basic stuff.
There is no other unprocessed food diet in the world that has no fiber in it other than carnivore.
That’s the whole goddamn point man :lol:

Attia is objective about most things but one place the science and his beliefs diverge is protein intake targets. He recommends 1g/lb/day, whereas 0.7 is likely sufficient for optimal muscle synthesis
Really misguided. He recommends that for those who want to increase muscle mass. The study he cites recommends a minimum of 1.6 g/kg/day (.72g/lb) with his practice aiming for 2.2 g/kg (1g/lb).

No, I'm giving you the answer. Quit being an unhealthy fat frick and eating the SAD and you won't 'need' fiber.
Absolutely no one here is advocating for the standard American diet. You’re just showing your arse and trying to prove carnivore is the only way to be.
If your diet is high in whole, unprocessed foods you are getting plenty of fiber. No one here is trying to get you to just chug Metamucil and eat like shite.

i prolly agree on the different diets for different genetics but for 99% of people none of that shite matters. majoring in the minors worrying about that kind of stuff. could it make you 0.01% healthier...maybe but at what cost to lifestyle and does it raise stress over having to eat that away that negates any benefit and look 90% of this country just needs to focus on hitting macros as that would get them 90% to their goals.
Absolutely agree. Hell, 90% of the country is metabolically unhealthy based on the following requirements (for men):
Waist circumference < 40”. FORTY. INCHES.
Fasting glucose < 100 mg/dl
Hemoglobin A1c < 5.7% (this level is pretty much T2D)
Blood pressure < 120/80
Triglycerides < 150 mg/dl
HDL > 40
Kinda makes us look stupid arguing over this shite when 90% of the country is barely alive :lol:

I agree, but a lot (probably more like almost all) are extremely flawed.
Absolutely not. Are there flawed or poorly designed studies? Yes. But a vast majority of “flaws” comes from people referencing the studies, not the studies themselves. People will take the conclusion from a random, extremely specific study done on mice and extrapolate it to make it seem like this huge finding that must be gospel for humans.

Often times, yes, but in the cases where this is not the case the results are so compelling they can’t be ignored in my opinion. There are a lot of people that struggled their entire life with ailments their entire life that tried everything, sometimes even medical and/or pharmaceutical intervention that seemingly only carnivore was able to fix. Again, is it the only reason? I have no clue, but it seems it had at minimum a huge impact. Which, as I said, is the point.
Every single piece of this is completely and totally anecdotal. None of this is science.

Tons of examples of carnivore completely eliminating auto immune disorders or other ailments. Is it only because of a carnivore diet?
“Examples” are not studies. I would argue that for most people who switch to carnivore and have extreme health benefits the following is likely:
1) they had an extremely poor ultra processed food diet prior to carnivore
2) they were overweight or obese, had pre diabetes or type 2 diabetes
3) they likely did little to no physical activity
What carnivore does is totally eliminate #1, which helps to clear up #2, giving them energy to complete #3. I’d argue literally any whole food based diet would give the same or similar results

i dunno but the basics still work 1) lift 3-4x per week heavy and progressively 2) walk 8k steps a day 3) get 20 min of zone 2 in 2-3x per week 4) set your caloric limit for your goal 5) eat 1g or protein per lbs of bodyweight minimum 6) figure out how you like to eat preference wise and fill the rest of the calories with things that help you stay compliant using whole foods
I agree with that whole post. Last thing I’ll say about fiber (not directly in response to you, I know you know this) is if you’re eating Whole Foods you are likely getting plenty of fiber. Unless you’re carnivore of course. Beans, lentils, seeds, Cruciferous vegetables, greens, fruits, nuts.. a few servings of those and you’ve likely hit 30g without even realizing it lol

If its so important, why can I go months without it and still feel fine
This response is the entire problem with our modern day headline driven scientific study interpretations.
We take average data from randomized population trials as absolute and apply it to our own n=1 experiment and if it doesn’t work then the data must be bullshite.
The data isn’t bullshite. The data is the data. If you, as an individual, are making lifestyle changes based off of results of a population study the burden is on you to read the premise of the study, the methodology and the data to determine whether you think the results of that study would be valid for you, specifically.
The data shows that fiber is beneficial. Is it necessary for survival? Absolutely not.
“I don’t do it and I’m just fine” is a single data point. Don’t take your single data point and come to the conclusion that “no one ever needs a single gram of fiber”

His research is based on funding from “Beyond Meat”. I take what he says with a grain of salt.
Yeah I’m not deep into the podcast yet but like 20 minutes in he bragged about this study that showed beyond meat was better than red meat and it was funded by… you guessed it, Beyond Meat.
If nothing else I commend him for being upfront about where his funding comes from and actively trying to get the NIH to provide more funding.
