Figures, just like every thing else nutrition science...a shot in the dark, but don't you dare question it or else be cast into the bucket of deplorable radicalized morons.

Interesting read. Not being a computer guy I have no idea why this is being underlined as I type. I'm at that point that the weight is still falling off so I can only imagine I am in a calo

Nice article. I always figured "2000 calories a day" was just a number that made the math simple, in order to establish a standard.

March Motivation Challenge! - Enter to WIN!
"Marching into March with Much Motivation"
For this months challenge, we are going to support each other in our efforts to get up and move. Spring is in the air. The weather is getting better. Get out there and MOVE! Go for walks, hike some trails if they aren't too muddy. Or just make a goal to get on the treadmill or lift some weights more than usual throughout the month. Get in the habit now, and we just might have beach bodies when summer officially hits, lol.
Just like before, we encourage you to check in daily, and share what you have eaten, perhaps a weigh-in if you're willing, and enjoy in some small talk.
The March drawing will be for a 4-pack of Carnivore Bars!

February Fasting Challenge - Enter to WIN!
Today is February 1st and marks the first day of "National Fasting February" - and yes, this is a thing. Google it!
For this month's challenge, we are going to support each other in our efforts to practice various forms of fasting throughout the month. The type of fasting you wish to do is entirely up to you. We are going to encourage INTERMITTENT FASTING, that is to put it simply, skipping a meal so that you are only eating 2 meals a day instead of the traditional 3 meals a day. The goal is to enjoy these meals within an 8 hour "feasting window" and then no food in the remaining 16 hours "fasting window" (in which 8 of those hours you should be sleeping).
An example is waking up at 7am, but waiting until 11am-noon for your first meal, and then having dinner at 6-7pm for your 2nd meal. Other people prefer to eat a breakfast, then a mid-day lunch, and skip dinner.
If you want to throw in a 24, 48, or 72 hour fast just to show off by all mean do so, lol.

"World Carnivore Month" January Challenge!
Today is the first day of January and is also the first day of World Carnivore Month. To that end, let's challenge ourselves to eat a carnivore diet for the entire month of January. The type of carnivore diet and the level of strictness you choose to do is entirely up to you. Examples of carnivore diets include the following... 1) The Lion Diet. A person eating the Lion Diet only consumes the flesh of ruminant animals, water, and salt. 2) The BBBE Diet. BBBE is an acronym for Beef, Butter, Bacon, and Eggs. 3) The Carnivore Diet. This allows for the consumption of any and all animals and animal by-products, including dairy. In any of the above examples, the object of course is to not consume any plants as part of your diet. Of course, we're not going to micromanage hoe you prepare your food, so your use of seasonings is entirely your own personal choice. IF your circumstances don't allow you to go full on carnivore in January, then you can participate in this topic by challenge yourself to do better, above and beyond what you have been doing. For example, if you have still been eating grains, seed oils, refined sugar, or drinking alcohol, challenge yourself to avoid these items and just eat a clean, single ingredient whole foods diet such as clean keto, ketovore, or animal based. We encourage you to check in daily, and share what you have eaten, perhaps a weigh-in if you're willing, and enjoy in some small talk. Participants in this topic will be entered into a drawing for a prize at the end of the month.-

comment_5687I’ve wondered for quite some time now who decided how many calories we should eat for the optimal requirements.
Now I’m not a CICO kinda guy and that’s what got me to questioning this calorie thing.
I heard some time ago that the RDA values that are pushed on us as what we should be getting every day for optimal health and the calorie numbers were just arbitrary numbers picked by surveys given to college students.
I really started wondering when I hit my final weight and wondered if I needed to eat more to keep from losing anymore. So I did some tracking and found that my average calorie count is about 1500 per day, give or take. I feel fine but the everyone was saying that that is starvation mode. Well how can it be starvation when I feel great? I wish I could remember the podcast but I remember hearing that the average person back before the advent of processed foods generally ate a diet of about 1500 calories. As agricultural ramped up and food became more plentiful the calorie count went up and so did the expectations of how much to eat.
I’m a firm believer that it’s not how many calories we consume but what food those measures of heat are made of. 2000 calories from donuts will have a remarkably different effect on your body than 2000 calories from ribeye.
So anyways, I found this article that confirms what I suspected about how the numbers came to be the acceptable norm for caloric intake.
