First things first, I know you are all DYING to know what happened with my weigh in today? 1 week in to my MyPlate experiment and my weight this morning...
drumroll please...
153.5
What's that you say? I lost 4 pounds? I LOST 4 POUNDS?!?!?!
I lost 4 pounds.
I'm going to explain why now. Paleo/primal readers, feel free to skip this part. You won't believe it anyway.
See, I burn 3000-3500 calories on a normal day. I know this because I've been tracking my diet daily for over three years and I know how many calories it takes to start gaining weight, and how many it takes to lose weight. So when MyPlate gave me a daily allotment of 2600 calories I knew I would lose weight. No matter how many carbs I ate, or how many servings of grain, or how much fructose I consumed. Even if I ate 2600 calories a day of cupcakes, I knew I would lose weight. Some of the 4 pounds I lost was water weight, as depleting my glycogen stores via a calorie deficit also depletes the water that is bound to glycogen molecules. Over the next 3 weeks I will continue to lose weight, but not at as fast a pace. If I stay on a 2600 calorie diet indefinitely, I will continue to lose weight until I reach a body weight and activity level that requires 2600 calories a day to maintain. Even if all I eat is twinkies, I will lose weight until I reach that weight. And then I will maintain that weight until I die of malnutrition from eating only twinkies.
So there ya go.

No way. You lie!
ReplyDeleteGuess I'll one up you. I worked out 3900 calories today, and only had time to eat 2600 via fruit. 600 carbs oh my!
Oh, and I've been vegan for the past 2 weeks. 2 weeks without meat I'm sure to die of a protein and animal fat deficiency at any moment.
Should note I start gaining around 4000. So 7900 is what I needed today. 2600 is what I got. Where did the rest of the calories come from? My body can't burn fat because I eat too many carbs.
ReplyDeleteClearly you are a genetic anomaly, Grok.
ReplyDeleteI must be. It's the only clear answer.
