Re: Is calorie the only big factor to losing fat?

The analogy that crosses my mind involves some guy who uses kerosine to fuel his car despite the fact that everyone else uses gasoline. Though it sputters and bucks, the car does get him to work. Then, one day he decides to reduce the mass of his car by removing 700-lbs of bricks from the trunk. Suddenly his times for getting to work drop dramatically and the car drives better!

So I walk up to this guy and say, "if you only used gasoline instead of kerosine, you'd see an even bigger improvement." To which the guy replies "why change it if it works?"

That's you TE. You're the guy who uses kerosine in his car.

Re: Is calorie the only big factor to losing fat?

All of you are liars.

Here is the truth: Lance Armstrong gets all of his training and racing food from Mulligan's Bar[/URL" target="_blank"> in Decatur, Georgia. I know this is true because he's never SAID he eats at Mulligan's, and if he doesn't say he's doing something, then we know he's doing it.

We can fight all day about totaleffort's times and the smell of salmon, but we've HAVE to agree that Mulligan's food is good eating.

Its specialties:

THE HAMDOG: A half-pound of hamburger, wrapped around a hot dog and deep fried. Served on a hoagie with cheese, chili, bacon, a fried egg. And freedom fries.

THE LUTHER: A half-pound bacon cheeseburger, served on a Krispy Kreme doughnut.

And for dessert -- the Fried Twinkie: Two Hostess Twinkees, coated in Cap'n Crunch and deep fried, served with chocolate and cherry/rasberry sauce. And topped with whipped cream.

Oh yeah.

Hairy Trotter is a liar. The half-pound hamburger in the HamDog looks at least 12 ounces to me. Lance did not mention them on Oprah which proves that he eats them all the time.

I am not a liar. The information I possess was passed on to me through my foil hat, into my fillings, and into my head. Therefore, when I watch stuff like Oprah and the Tour De France, I get the Real Truth, not the lying little words that come out of Al Trautwig's mouth that everybody else is forced to hear.

Though I admit that my half-pound estimate on the Hamdog might be a little conservative when I look at the photographic evidence[/URL" target="_blank">.

Which is why Lance eats two of them before that Alp d' Huez thing. It was right there in the TV coverage of the Tour. If you know what to look for.

Have you ever read the book "The 48 Laws of Power"? As I remember, one of the laws is that you get people to think you are doing one thing, yet you do another.

One of the laws I always obey is "make up things as you like and don't listen to others." Therefore by ignoring you're reply I guarantee that burger is at least 12 ounces.

If only Meb Keflegzighi would smear one on his legs before he ran he would be a world-class runner instead of a mere Olympic bronze medalist.

If TE was Meb's age he would be running 1:35 for the marathon.

So TE, you improved over 23 years.

Here is my complete half-marathon record:

Age 20 - 2:13
Age 21 - 2:08
Age 43 - 1:48
Age 44 - 1:44
Age 44 - 1:44
Age 44 - 1:42

That's a 31 minute improvement in 24 years - without going ultra low-carb.<HR>

Well congratulations on running faster at 44 than 21.

Did you take 20 years off or just not do the 1/2?

Any weight loss involved ?

20 years off.

I have lost 35 pounds since February 2004 initially on a 40:30:30 c/p/f diet.

I was the same weight at 44 as i was at 21.

Law 9

Win through your Actions, Never through Argument

Any momentary triumph you think gained through argument is really a Pyrrhic victory: The resentment and ill will you stir up is stronger and lasts longer than any momentary change of opinion. It is much more powerful to get others to agree with you through your actions, without saying a word. Demonstrate, do not explicate.

I have never seen anything like this thread before. I wish you luck resolving this. Personally, I will stay with my balanced diet.

Not only does he consume less food during this period, he also alters the nutrient balance. During the height of the season, more than 70 percent of his calories may come from carbohydrates because he needs the fast-burning fuel to power his aerobic and anaerobic energy systems. During the fall and winter, we increase the percentage of protein in his nutrition program and reduce the carbohydrate contribution to 60 percent to 65 percent. This may seem minor, but when it?s combined with the overall caloric reduction, the two make a big difference in calories and body weight.

Hey totaleffort, since I know CSuzette won't reply, I'm wondering what you think of Lance Armstrong's diet. Do you think he could ride faster if he went low-carb?
