    Correlation does not imply causation is the key idea here.

    Just because it might "work" does not give you any better understanding and that's not science.

    The body is obviously complex and we...

    Yes it is a carefully planned caloric deficit. I do not believe any nutritional deficits eg you have enough protein and vitamins from the multivitamin so the only things you are missing from a...

    After reading this article it summarizes what I believe is fundamentally wrong with most diet strategies: they rely on story telling and not science.

    With all due respect I do not believe this to be correct.

    It's easy to determine what your fat burning zone is by doing a VO2max test eg with a CardioCoach. When your body consumes oxygen it's...

    -taste is good in vanilla for me
    -everything that isn't sugar or protein is just electrolytes eg sodium
    -it's low cost ($1 per packet)

    The most dense calories is fat at 9 calories per gram which is double carbs and protein but my point is that you carry a lot of fat already but you don't carry a lot of glycogen or excess protein...

    25% body fat is pretty normal. I've met very normal looking people 5'10 and 145lbs and they're 25% body fat. Most people under estimate their body fat percentage and unless you've had a DEXA scan...
  11. Lightest possible food weight while maintaining

    As an endurance athlete, I've carefully strategized my nutrition during things like Ironman races and I'm thinking of extending it to mountain and hiking expeditions.
