what category were you? did you do free meals? how many cals a day on the free meal days?

@jeffreyfernald I never did a free meal day and just stuck to my calorie limit. I'm down 90lbs and eating a ton now to stop the weight loss. If she or I ate more calories one day, we would make it up by eating less or walking more later. I ended up about 222lbs and eat about 5,000 calories a day now but I did walking further and further until I got up to 23,000 steps a day plus weight lifting every morning. Now that I don't want to lose anymore weight, I've cut the steps back to 17,000 and dialed the calories up with protein being my largest macro and fiber pretty high. We dialed up the lifting intensity too as I want to try and add more muscle.

@jeffreyfernald My isolcaloric at the time of the original comment was about 3,800 calories with no walking so I was eating about 3,300 to 3,500 for weight loss. Now, eating about 5,000 calories a day makes me sick lol. Especially trying to keep fiber and protein high. Donuts are my friend again but only around weight lifting sessions to replenish muscle glycogen faster.

@Brixton Brentley How lame can you be?

@Joshua Preston Okay bots.

What youtube channels can I find him in besides the channel with just a few vids of the fight with Mike? Does he have a main channel?

He does, and it is extremely informative!​@@Antigone10

@@Antigone10 He does. It’s @LyleMcDonaldIsRight. LOL, I guess he’s pretty sure of himself! 🤪

And FYI, y’all, it’s on his site: Body Recomposition. Don’t go to Ama…

Last I remember it’s hard to say and Lyle definitely has spoken about that question. I personally find that after losing 40-45 lbs and keeping it off for 17 years, I get away with murdering myself for extended periods (over-feeding) and still weigh close to the same.

@@Dad_Brad I have also experienced this. Lost about 60 lbs and then maintained it for 5 years and now I can splurge quite often and my weight stays the same. Have to be careful not to go off the deep end because I used to be an emotional eater.

@@XTheSpartanX7 I understand the emotional part. I often “stress eat.” On the flip side when I’m excited about a person or event I can train non-stop and eat extremely rigidly for long periods.

It’s so true about maintenance. I can work like a monk in my deficit and do awesome. I lose weight well, even now. If you told me to do a diet break at maintenance I wouldn’t be able to do it as prescribed. Oh, go and have 150 more carbs. So I can have another cup of rice or cereal and that’s it? It’s just not easy for me at all. In fact, even refeed days can be rough. I would rather stick to the plan than get italian food or whatever. Oh, eat one slice of pizza. Are you kidding? Lol

@@MrGflan yep., I think it’s that way for many of us. It’s easier just to take EC to eliminate hunger, but that only lasts 2 weeks max. I know this isn’t advice that your asking me for, but cycling EC for 2 weeks during periods where you struggle with calorie control could be helpful.

But you can’t do psmf everyday…

@@kostar500 I did it for a month like 8 years ago, lost a ton of weight did the refeeds took the supplements etc

You certainly can the Monster Energy drink will contain at most 10-20 kcal and the caffeine will suppress your appetite and increase your NEAT. All good things

Absolutely

@Celine, I don’t think so unless you’re speed walking and getting your heart rate up.

But the content is gold, and that’s what matters!

I can hear it just fine. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m not actually watching, just listening.
