I am sure you are right.
And I must say eye of newt still sounds better (except when I think about poor animals) than taking some supplement I can’t know enough as I am not a scientist… Not like I know how safe a newt eye is, of course but I rather would take my chances with an animal part if I must choose one
But I have a very fixed belief that NOTHING can help my fat-loss, only myself, eating and maybe exercising right. There are no miracle things for me and if some supplement truly could “help”, I would be wary about the huge impact it does to my own body, lying to it and messing with my functions. No thanks.
I don’t know what WW is but at least I have heard about it. My SO learned about its existence yesterday when I mentioned this topic And we both are better with not knowing, according to what little I do know.
Yeah, that is a problem. With any diet, one needs to focus on food and it’s not good but can’t be helped. But it should be as normal and as little focus as possible. I always tell newbies that they just should stick to the simple basics first, not counting and overthinking and restricting super much when they don’t want to. Maybe the simple basics will bring success, at least partially and later it will be easier to add, subtract, change… Even if the end goal is lowering macros (I need to lower them all at the moment. not like I know them as I don’t track and can’t even remotely guess), we don’t need to track them. It’s enough if we use a good timing and food choices where they automatically become right.
I don’t know WW but I know some bad attitude of calorie counters. It was painful to see it sometimes. They respected their generated fixed numbers WAY too much. (I respect them not at all, that’s not right either but still feels better :D) This point system sounds similar, focusing on numbers too much.
My mind never could contain the thought that some people think it different… We are omnivores, other animals’ bodies are natural food for us… I was a vegetarian for multiple reasons but meat being bad or not natural food wasn’t one of them.
OK but still, almost every people eat meat. They already consider it okay, don’t they…? Or if not, they don’t care anyway…? So they still can eat their roasts… (If there is talk about tempting meat, I always envision a big nice shiny roast :D)
Though… I did meet people who ate meat but it was just an accent. I met someone on this very forum telling me I eat too much meat at once So yes, some people have some weird ideas about meat eating I just can’t understand. I focus on macros (compared to my needs) more. If a meat on my plate is only 100g protein and 80g fat, it can’t be too much, it depends if it is. It sounds a very nice fat-loss plan this far, to me…
