Ohhhhhh... I see. So
3500 calories = about 1 pound
150 calories x 365 days= EXACTLY 54750 Calories
54750 Calories / about 3500 = about 15.64 pounds
Whew, I’m so glad you straightened me out on that one!!!
Okay so...Here are some facts:
A calorie is defined as the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of water (at one atmosphere) one degree Celsius.
One fat gram = 9 Calories
One Pound = 453.592 grams
453.592 Grams X 9 Calories = 4082.328 Calories
Oh wait!!! I said 3500 calories didn’t I?
Why the discrepancy? Because your talking about adipose tissue or fat tissue in the body. Adipose tissue breaks down to about 7.7 calories per gram because of other cellular tissue that makes up fat cells. The left over is cellular carbohydrate, protein, and water. So yes 3500 is an estimate. How does that make any difference other than to prove you are still wrong?
It makes the diffrence that we were both wrong in presicely the same way.
The critical diffrence is that I qualified an estimate by using the word "about" and you presented it as an exact figure. That means while I was accurate in my represntation, you were arrogant and mistaken in yours.
To sum up, I was right, and you were wrong.
If you’re going to be ostentatious at least learn how to spell properly. And *******? Tsk tsk.
I'm really not certain you have a good understanding of what the word "ostentatious" means. Did you just arbitrarily throw it in there to add sylables to argument?
It doesn't seem to make any sense at all in context. You may as well have said "perspicaious".
Walk? Well some can and some can’t. Of course I’m just estimating. Run? I bet YOU can’t. Put 100 pounds on your back and show us what a stud you are. After all if they can you must be able to.
Sure I could. I have run with an 80 pound pack dozens of times and I'm probably 20 pounds overweight, maybe more.
Well, you may be right on the 40-pound weight loss. I wouldn’t know. It’s not like your showing any actual facts or figures to back it up.
I could make some up like you, if you'd like.
Here you go

That proves I'm right.
Oh yeah and that wasn’t second grade math. It was at least third. Because I’m always
Ending sentances improprerly?
. What is that? First grade spelling?
No, it's dyslexia. Allthough, I'm fairly certain your implication is that spelling equates with intelligence, in which case it's clear that you are as smart as a word processor. Kudos!
“Quote:
In fact there's not a single study that shows a negative long term effect from prolonged low calorie intake for weight loss
.”
Actually there are hundreds. Here are two of them. Take these to any Librarian and they can help you look them up:
Garner, D.M. (1997). Psychoeducational principles in the treatment of eating disorders. In: Handbook for Treatment of Eating Disorders. (145-177). D.M. Garner & P.E. Garfinkel (Eds). New York, NY: Guilford Press.
Pirke, K. M., & Ploog, D. (1987). Biology of human starvation. In P. J. V. Beumont, G. D. Burrows, & R. C. Casper (Eds.), Handbook of eating disorders: Part 1 Anorexia and bulimia nervosa (pp. 79-102). New York: Elsevier.
I realize your reasoning skills are clearly grossly sub-par, but surely, not even you are so stunningly ingorant and pathetically desperate to equate a low calorie dieet with an eating disorder.
I mean you can't be so emotionally crippled that you're going to make a ludicrous leap of illogic to equate the two to try and save face in a petty message board argument that you're loosing so horribly.
Why not just get it over with and link pictures of concentration camp victims and use them as an example of a low calorie diet?
What is your source? A CrackerJack box? Who do you think funds all this?
Oh, I don't know, independant peer reviewed medical journals maybe?
Call me crazy!!
You're right, though, we should trust the high scientific standards of the orginzatino that tell us smoking pot will make kids run each over blow each other away.
The sterling credentials of the people who bru=ought us "Reefer Madness" and declared ketchup a vegtable.
Yes, if done properly.
It's sort of hard to do it improperly. If your goal is weigh less, eating less is the method.
Again, where do you get this information? Since you decided to ridicule me on "estimating vs absolutes" how about showing me some absolutes? Ah well… I think I’m wasting my time.
Sure, here's an absolute. If I'm eating 500 calories and gaining weight, burning 300 calories extra per day will mean I'm still gaining way.
QED, I win. Thanks for playing, we have some lovely parting gifts for you.
I see what is going to happen here. You are going to throw a tantrum and then come back with a bunch of useless drivel and tactless name calling to prove your point.
No, I'm going to laugh and laugh at your inability to admit being wrong, then belittle you about it, then laugh and laugh at you critiziing my spelling, then prove you wrong a few times, then laugh some more.
That's okay though. After all you have 10688 posts under your belt. I have less than 20.
Go get em tiger!!!
I wouldn't matter if you had 90,000,000 posts, you'd still be dead wrong.
Oh... Wait... I see now... Guess I should have read the disclaimer:
Silly me...
Apparently. You clealry have difficulty discerning humor and statemnts of fact, so I imagine it would confuse you to no end.
Again, thanks for playing, it's been fun. You have three options now.
1)Be an adult and say "ok, ok, I was completely wrong, I aplogize"
2)Be a coward and not post again.
3)Be yourself and dig yourself deeper and deeper into a whole of hypocracy and illogic and attempt to continue arguing your points, whatever it is you think they may be.
I imagine it'll be 3.
