Guest guest Posted June 24, 2001 Report Share Posted June 24, 2001 Well, my understanding of " starvation mode " has been that you hit that level when you go so low in your caloric intake that your body thinks it's starving and then *slows down the metabolism* to conserve bodyfat for survival. In short, " starvation mode " = slowed metabolism. Andy > > > > > > > No. > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 25, 2001 Report Share Posted June 25, 2001 I don't feel like I am starving either! I even feel at times that I don't need to eat since I am not hungry. However, if I did that I think that I would be starving myself even though I don't have hunger pangs. Andyman > Sounds logical, although I still don't understand the " starving " > bit.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2001 Report Share Posted June 26, 2001 > How is that a response to my post? Hussman wrote (and you quoted), " As a rule of thumb, you should aim in the ballpark of 1890-2410 calories per day if your main goal is fat-loss, and about 2810-3350 calories per day for muscle gain without fat loss. " This makes it sound as if you can only do one or the other. At least that was my impression. < I mean, it is an interesting bit of information, and it could be argued that BFL is macronutrient cycling on a 7 day cycle, > Yeah, I noticed that overlap a while ago; I thought it was kinda cool. < Back to the post at hand, does this particular BMR calculator, and the recommendations it provides, make sense? > Pretty much.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2001 Report Share Posted June 27, 2001 < . . . the NHE book is not on the best-seller list. I can't even find it on Amazon.com. BFL is on the top ten of hard-cover nonfiction. It is #12 this week at Amazon.com. Where is NHE? Obviously, NHE doesn't have the marketing genius of Bill behind it. > No. At Rob Faigin's site, the question is asked, " Why isn't NHE available through major chain booksellers like and Noble, Borders and Amazon.com? " Rob replies: " Let me begin by saying that we rely heavily on word-of-mouth to sell NHE, so your help in getting the word out is greatly appreciated. NHE is only available through independent health vendors (including: health food stores, online supplement retailers, health practitioners such as doctors, trainers, chiropractors, etc.). I guess you can say that our marketing plan empowers the 'little guy.' Furthermore, our marketing plan allows us to develop relationships with individuals and companies that have the trust and attention of the health-minded public. These NHE resellers actively promote NHE, whereas large booksellers just put books on their shelves and because they have so many outlets they act (by demanding steep discounts and consignment deals) as though they are doing the publisher a great favor. Thanks, but no thanks. " Essentially it comes down to this: I'm interested in working with people in the health industry, not institutional booksellers. These are the folks who can share my passion for helping people, not merely selling books. The health product/service providers are able to market NHE in an informed way based on an appreciation of its essence, rather than merely seeing it as a tangible object that can be sold for a profit. " (http://www.extique.com/askrob2-2.htm#2-2-2) < NHE is more complicated to the general public. > Correct me if I'm wrong, but you haven't actually read the book, right? Therefore you're not in a position to say how complicated it is or isn't. Having read both BFL and NHE, though, I can say that in fact you are correct. It is more complex than BFL - but not necessarily in terms of what one needs to *do* to be on the plan, but in terms of NHE's often reading like a science textbook, which not everyone's into reading, of course. Then again, Udo Erasmus's FATS THAT HEAL, FATS THAT KILL has often been recommended on this discussion board, yet no one's criticized it for being a health science textbook, which is what it is. > I'm not saying NHE doesn't work. It does sound interesting, but it > is too complicated for me to do for life. Again, you're not in a position to know that. > Yes, I am promoting BFL > and that is because this is a BFL list. Nothing wrong with that. I've stated the following before, and I'll say it again: I continue to promote BFL. I see BFL as a primer for broader and deeper health education, and therefore I frequently recommend BFL to someone who's just thinking about getting into shape. I did just yesterday, in fact - and I didn't even mention NHE at the time. I myself continue successfully using the BFL workout plan, which is fantastic; ' and Faigin's workout principles are basically identical. And don't forget that several weeks ago I also pointed out places of overlap between the BFL and NHE eating plans. The NHE eating plan isn't as complex as you think it is. > Yes, I am open to hearing > about NHE as long as I am not required to switch or combine it with > BFL to stay on this list. Oh heavens, no, I'd never ask that of anyone. Like I said, I view BFL as a primer to the world of fitness education - and in that role BFL is *excellent*. BFL is what ultimately led me to NHE.
