Fat loss debate: Hale vs Harmony

I will find the references to my EPOC claims and show them. EPOC is basically and excuse for fatties to do less work.

Oh look, an ad hominem to add to your list of bullshitting.

You're doing quite a good job of proving your case, Dr.

[Dr.SusanHarmonyPhD]

There is no such thing as an UNqualified expert. I like how you come up with cute terms like "ad hominem attack" .

[Dr.SusanHarmonyPhD]

My references to my EPOC claims will be up in the next day. You people have been MISLED by the fitness industry. EPOC afterburn is not significant.

I didn't come up with it, genius. It's when you ignore questions/evidence and then name-call. It's a fallacy of distraction.

Which you're apparently resorting to because you're trying to bullshit everyone and hope that people will think PhD = your'e right.

Keep this up and I'm going to take you apart step by step, PhD or not.

[Dr.SusanHarmonyPhD]

Dream on. I could EASILY tear your argument to shreds.

Who claimed it was, genius?

I asked you to substantiate the point that high intensity work burns LESS calories than low intensity work.

Quit while you're ahead. Seriously.

Ooooh I'm scared!

So far all youv'e done is prove you're barely literate, let alone holder of an advanced degree.

In other words,

Put up or shut up.

[Dr.SusanHarmonyPhD]

You're mising the point. High intensity work like HIIT or Tabata WON'T burn as many calories as lower to moderate intensity work for a much LONGER TIME.


You CAN keep up lower to moderate intensity for a long time. A 45 minute run EASILY trumps HIIT for calories burned.

You obviuosly can't see this, can you?

I asked you to support this claim, not repeat it like a broken record.

Firstly, aerobic calorie burn is NIL. Seriously, you're talking at most 200-300 kcal/hour. That's nothing.

A weight training session for one hour can burn upwards of 500-600 kcal. Same w/ other forms of intensive anaerobic activity. There's just no comparison.

If you want to show that this is not true, THEN SHOW ME DATA and quit being a damn broken record.

Secondly, you're missing the entire point of practicality...who the hell has time to exercise 2-3 hours a day, just for the sake of some metabolic utility you think is applicable?

What if the person has a need for muscle mass or strength/power, which are immensely de-trianed by high volumes of aerobic work?

What you're talking about might swing on paper, but practice has shown us that it doesn't work out that way.

Again, you've YET to consider the context of who you're making suggestions to.

[Dr.SusanHarmonyPhD]

NOPE. A long walk of 2 hours will burn 600 calories minimum. Aerobic activity EASILY TRUMPS HIIT or Tabata. Look up calories burned by activity on Google for crying out loud!

You can't provide sources for this?

What the hell kind of PhD are you?

Pay special attention to the conclusion of the last one.

kthx.

[Dr.SusanHarmonyPhD]

This is basic common sense. Sprint type activity builds a lot of mass your body does NOT NEED.

Come on. It's some smart ass forumite pulling the wool over your eyes. Ya fat powerlifter!

As humorous as this is, unless she says WHO she is, that's my take.

[PowerManDL]

To get really pedantic, she's kinda-sorta right.

Doing large volumes of cardio work will, maybe, match or exceed the total calorie burn of high intensity work.

The problem is, it's not practical to keep up that kind of workload....you're talking several hours a day, every day

And the fact that higher intensity work favors positive body-comp changes anyway

So she's still BSing. Probably uninformed, and BSing.

[Dr.SusanHarmonyPhD]

The fact remains, very long walks or runs burn A LOT more calories than HIIT.

Yeah I know. That hit me about the end of page 1.

But I'm having fun.

This is my poker, dammit.
