How to lose body fat! A short summary of my research in the nutrition space
Hi all,
I want to start a business that helps people to become healthier, and consequently have spent a fair amount of time researching food/diets. I'm still not sure exactly where the business opportunity lies, but in the meantime I put together a concise presentation of my findings on how to effectively lose weight/body fat: https://robbie.life/2021/08/05/how-to-lose-body-fat/
I would greatly appreciate feedback/critiques/ideas and am happy to discuss further with those who are interested.
What I've found working for me was dissociated diet.
Of course I've also reduced amount of sugar I've eated a day (and I have huge problems with it). I have had about 5 meals a day.
The main idea of this diet is eating proteins + vegetables as one meal and carbohydrates + vegetables as different meal, the best if interchangeably.
Later on, I've switched to keto diet - and found a weight loss too, hower it's quite hard for someone who love chocolate bars to stay in keto diet longer. Buts I love nuts too.
Anyway, I've also decided that fully reducing carbohydrates from food is also not a great idea - of course everything with some limitations.
As a developer I usually don't have much movement possibilities.
Are you qualified to give nutrition advices? Researching something on the net doesn't compare to a degree - people's health is no joke, both physical and mental - which is involved a lot when talking about food and losing body fat.
So, PLEASE, if you don't have a recognized authority for doing this STOP RIGHT NOW, find a better way to fill your wallet, don't capitalize on people weaknesses, health or problems.
Hey Damien, thanks for the reply and I appreciate your concern. A couple of things:
You clearly state you aren't a doctor, that doctors themselves cannot agree on things they have studied for years, and YET you want to make money SELLING YOUR DUBIOUS ADVICE.
But you already made up your mind, it seems, so no point in arguing with someone who doesn't want to listen or change its views.
I just hope you won't hurt anyone (spoiler: you will)

Hey Primer, that statement may broadly be true but isn't necessarily that helpful to an individual looking to make a change. For example, your body actually burns more calories digesting chicken than it does digesting a sugary donut (that has the same # of calories as the chicken). So even though you ate the same amount of calories, your net calorie intake is lower with the chicken...not so straightforward.
There are wide variety of diets that provide a high likelihood of success if followed precisely and sustained for the remainder of your life. The issue is whether a given diet/lifestyle is actually sustainable for you.
My current business thought is to build a service that helps people adhere to a given diet (using behavioral psych strategies such as gamification), but I'm still conducting research.
Having some experience on it (building a platform for helping people train and take control over their bodies - kalisten.app), I disagree. You are right on your point, but imho you are too focus on this, while this is a mere detail. What @Primer said still holds true for most of the users: you need a deficit calorie. And even more, if you want to lose body fat (not just weight), you need some kind of training (ie. strength training) that will minimise your muscle lose, so that what you lose is only fat. Not to mention the 2-2.2 gr of protein per body weight on a daily basis.
