[QUOTE="mekalu2k4, post: 1026088, member: 171561"] Well, thats how the world is operating nowadays. Re health matters, I am trying to keep away all the standard western type aspects though living in west. Nothing can be trusted. When I started researching for myself 3 years before, I believed in 'standard advices', but ended up putting on more weight. These recommendations are very powerful, people do believe and follow. For that matter, This forum suggests LC diet - '50 gram carb limit per day'. I did not believe it initially, due to 'standard advices' or instructions from doctors or my own understanding. However, I tried to cut carbs, over the time. I am now down to 50-75gr range now. Feeling much better health wise. Changes in this new year for me: 1. strict LCLF diet - stopped using myfitnesspal - will write another thread on it. 2. 50 minutes of workouts on every alternate day - got a gadget - Garmin Forerunner 15 - all workouts are measured and HR and calories accounted for. Then a 5k run on weekend - at my own slow pace. Not competing with anyone, do not want to be world rank runner. However, diet is the major factor in control of body fat and particularly the visceral fat. Basically we need to change our diet or/and workouts so that they put the body in fat burning mode. In other words, for normal routine operations, body should derive energy from fat; and not from Carbs, free sugars or proteins. But with standard advices or even tools such as myfitnesspal - weight gain (fat gain too) definitely happens. I am not sure how such flawed recommendations can be online. May be those recommendations work for some? - I am not sure. [/QUOTE]
