Comments Thread For: Mayweather Explains How He Stays on Weight, No Diet

[gasolina92]

There are no such things as unhealthy food unless like trans fat. People are unhealthy from being obese which since those foods are calorie dense compared to brocoli and that other ****. So you are most likely going to go over your maintence calories.Corralation does not mean causation those food are not what make you unhealthy.

Fat makes you fat. The whole point of low fat diet is based on that. Carbs can't convert to fats. They are carbohydrate, not fat. Only fat gets stored as fat - plain and simple.

Now you are right about the EFFECT of carbs. Only carbs and fats are used as body energy throughout a day, body will use first carbs and then fats. If there is too many carbs body doesn't need to touch fats to get the energy.
In that case carbs would 'protect' fats to be spent and fat will be stored in your body. One more thing is that carbs can't be stored for longer periods of time, fats can.
Insulin ****e will direct your body to use either carbs or fats but carbs that are not spent are not converted to fat. fat is fat, carb is carb.

Ok, now this is interesting =)

Do you know what are carbohydrate (chemically) and what are lipids?

Could you please explain to me how two totally different chemical compounds can be transformed to each other?

ONLY FAT IS STORED AS FAT!

I am up for a civil conversation and discussion.
Beyonce ate just maple syrup (I can't think of anything that contains more carbs) to lose weight.

I wonder how many other boxers fight around their walk around weight.

This is why Floyd can always take his time and use all 12 rounds. His opponent will slow down starting in about rd 8 or 9 because he's drained 20 pounds. Floyd is just warming up around round 8, so even if he's behind on the cards he knows he can sweep the last 4 rds if he has to.

Gotta respect it!!

you're a "student" and you already want to be passed off as an expert. get you're degree, learn a thing or too, and come up with your own opinion. until then I'm going by what top graduates and professors with degress in nutritional science and nutrition are preaching. have a good day student. don't forget to keep an open mind that is what college is for.

Since you so much better educated may I ask about your credentials please? I have learned much more than a thing or two which is why I am here. Many of the most influential articles on Nutrition, Chemistry, and Molecular and Cell Biology have been written here. The fact of the matter is that your "research" is reading things that we are actually doing hands-on work with and publishing. You keep talking about top scientists but have yet to cite a single source. You realize that we do research and work with these professors you're talking about before we graduate right? A lot of students here have already co-authored journal articles with top people in their field. I don't know what you think students do that you use the term to disqualify.

And I will not come up with my own opinion because science is not opinion-based and that is what you fail to understand. It's not about what we believe, it's about what we find, that's what we do research for.

That was my same reaction. My god...

I am like Floyd in the sense that I have a high metabolism and can eat, for the most part, what I want and I stay fairly trim. But, it is simply because I have worked out regularly, lifting weights, running, biking for over 10 years. TBH it is the main motivator for my exercise. I like to eat what I want.

Great thread.

Absolutely.

That was my same reaction. My god...

What I am saying is the simple fact. It's like stating Newton law. Chemistry is the exact science

What makes people confused is the effect of carbs (as they are rarely taken alone).

But saying that fats actually turn to fats is just like saying my weight on Moon is the same as on Earth
