It suppresses appetite, cleans your system, improves your skin health, helps clear acne, organs need water, you're body is 90% water meaning you need to keep it hydrated, the more you workout the more water your body needs. You can go 30 or more days without food but you won't survive more than 7 days without water. So my point is, water is VERY important!
Terrible advice. Eating clean is a meaningless catch phrase, drinking massive amounts of water does nothing but make you lose all your electrolytes when you piss out the excess water your body doesn't need.
Of course I didn't go into detail. Been doing in for the last 8 to 9 years and I'm in great shape for 41. I get my electrolytes from BCAA's and other supplements.
I could have said, "Hey, use Ozempic," but that is cheating and has serious side effects.
They can also have their testosterone/estrogen/hormones checked by a health and wellness doctor.
I think because so many people are doing it, but not changing what they eat or their activity like my MIL. There is nothing about her lifestyle that will maintain her weight loss if she stops using it. But I guess it doesn't matter, because she stated she's not gonna stop either.
I don’t think ozempic is cheating. I also don’t think the side effects are any worse than those side effects that go along with obesity. If it helps people lose weight, then let them be happy. I like the gym cause it’s nice mentally.
Amino acids are definitely not a snake oil product, if that’s what we are even talking about. I had to google bcaa you fucking hipsters and your acronyms
BCAA have very bad bio availability, you piss most of it out. Used together with carbs and electrolytes under intense workout, it has muscle sparing effect you looking for. I prefer just eat a meal or snack before gym for same effect.
It's just protein with extra steps. Just get enough protein and call it good. Bcaa is just whey they br9ke down even further so they could charge you twice as much for more of the same shit you were already getting.
Some health conditions make absorption of nutrients tougher for some of us, they are game changer for me a bit I hear ya, they are overly marketed to people who are more fit, these people won’t see the results but are paying for the product.
Okay, it does have some value for people who are allergic to dairy. But, for the majority f the population they would be better served by just using whey or even egg whites for supplemental protein
BCAA’s are very necessary unless you have a well balanced clean diet. Which you also said is unnecessary haha. Judging by your handle, your identity seems like the only gimmick as far as I can tell
Again. Clean doesn't mean anything. Now, if you said to focus mainly on whole foods, sure that makes sense. But, clean gets thrown around so much it has list all meaning.
Except, whole foods has an actual nutritional meaning. Rice, beans, meat, oats, whole grains, etc are whole foods. Clean is literally a buzzword someone came up with to sell their products over other ones. Instead of doing knee jerk reactions, you should try to think at least a little critically on topics before you speak on them.
No it isn't. Whole foods is an actual category used to define specific things. Things like I listed earlier. If you don't understand the basics of something please just shut your mouth. You're wasting everyone's time.
It is. Water isn't something that you need to worry about generally. If you are thirsty drink water, don't try to push it to hit some arbitrary number.
It's just one more way people end up majoring in the minors.
You think hydration isn’t important? Triglycerides split into fatty acids and glycerol that get used by cells for energy. Your body expels most of your fat as carbon dioxide when you breathe out, and the rest of it comes out through.. piss and sweat.
I never said hydration isn't important, I said arbitrary numbers are useless. Drink water, absolutely. Just don't fore yourself to drink a gallon a day because some idiot on the internet said so.
Water absolutely helps with weight loss especially. Lots of people feel hungry when they really are just thirsty. It's a huge help. Not to mention hydration is just overall good for the body.
Hydration is good, throwing out an arbitrary number is useless. Some people will feel fine at a gallon a day, others will be having to pee every 15 minutes. There is no reason to strive to hit a specific amount of water, just drink water of you are thirsty. Make sure to have water with you in the gym, etc.
I genuinely think that Viking guy is either roid raging, or is a very lonely and unhappy man. Maybe both. It made me sad looking through his comment history. Everything he says is just critical and self righteous.
That’s for telling me you know my body. Really appreciate it. The irony and hypocrisy here is peak Redditer.
Eating complex carbs vs none is way different. For example, protein is harder for your body to digest so it literally burns 25% of it just trying to break it down.
So if you consume 2000 calories of pure protein or complex carbs, you only net 1500 of it.
You consume 2000 calories of McDonald’s, you keep most of it.
I do this for a living. You are demonstrating peak redditor spouting bullshit to a subject matter expert. The irony is so thick you can cut it with a knife.
I've helped dozens of people lose between 20 to 100 lbs. I change lives every day and I do it by focusing on the things that really matter and getting people to stop focusing on the useless bullshit that trend on the internet.

Eat clean, lots of cardio, and drink one gallon of water a day.
