Coming from the same person who said he couldn't find a lick of proof on the internet with my claims yet it was literally the first thing on Google. K.
Here I'll spell it out for you since you want to be so damn ignorant. Calories != end all be all.
Fast metabolism + quick liquid excretion + daily bowel movements + low calorie intake = quick loss.
When you sleep your heart rate decreases, your breathing decreases, and the amount of energy used is less than halved during daily activities. If you eat at night 4 hours or less before sleeping you are retaining and not burning. Simple fact. That equates to lbs gained that normally for a regular person could be lost. I wake up at 4:30am, skip breakfast, eat a regular portioned low calorie meal at 11am for lunch, and I don't eat anything else for the next 8 hours. The calories I consumed are burned within the first few hours and since I'm constantly walking when I'm moving from my lab to the AeroIT area or AV my heart rate is higher than it would normally be for somebody sitting at a computer chair all day. I have a fast metabolism and I piss every hour to 2 hours. I get home and about 5pm every day I take a **** which can either be from half a lb to 2lbs depending on my meals. I also drink a Bawls every morning when I get to work which also increases digesting because energy drinks increase the rate at which your body uses energy including the effects from caffeine, taurine, ect (this is how energy drinks work, your body uses food for fuel this is all researchable fact). If it has nothing to use since I have an empty stomach every morning guess what, it burns fat like a workout would. Your routine and body has more to do with how you gain/lose than simply watching calories. Counting calories typically means failed diet practically every damn time. If you have a slower metabolism you need to watch what you eat even more so than somebody like me. It was easy to gain all that weight in a quick amount of time when I was doing nothing but sitting at my computer then going to bed immediately after having a double portioned meal almost every night. Routine shock has a critical effect on gain as well because after a while your body is used to your intake and procedure, that's why I frown heavily on "cheat days" because it's worse for you than you'd think.
Any time people want to ask me how I do it and if I'd help them they hate what I have to say. It's literally as simple as putting down the fork. If you don't have the will to lose and give in to "being hungry" syndrome then I don't have the will to help somebody. These are the same kinda people like you who want to discredit the fact that I can and do gain/lose like I say (also the same people who think I'm crazy for only eating a simple lunch a day). You've been on how many diets in the fast few years? How'd that go for you? Considering you're sitting here arguing with me over calories I'd say not very well. That's why I shouldn't and don't need to prove anything to anybody. Don't believe me? Fine, move the **** on, but don't sit here and say you can't find anything on the net crediting what I say when I literally posted the first thing on Google. Dude's protein intake will make what I had last week look amatuer yet he's able to "piss out" 20lbs of weight to meet his class requirement.
