@QuizLgLondon @CalthorpeArms Hi there - the link seems to go through to a 404 page. Is there another way to sign up?

Wow: Most popular stand-alone personality traits used in psychology – self-esteem, grit, etc. – can be subsumed to the Big Five. https://t.co/u3haPXRE7l

@falleneconomist We talk about Harari in Intro to Psych as well - as an example in psych of how cherry-picking scant evidence to speak authoritatively and conclusively creates misinformation and neuromyths

@gomedia91 What they did to Tiger Bay was criminal.

@z_groove @DrEenfeldt OK. Fair enough. Good to have a cordial disagreement. Have a good Sunday pal

[Maxted Neal @MaxtedNeal]

@z_groove @DrEenfeldt I time nutrients for performance in my sport. Most people don't need to do that, and even with that consideration I can create a deficit eating palatable foods. You can still get results eating foods you enjoy. Calorie deficit isn't a fallacy

[Maxted Neal @MaxtedNeal]

@z_groove @DrEenfeldt But my point here is - I'm not an outlier with a magic body type, a calorie deficit isn't a fallacy for fat loss, and you can absolutely create a deficit while still eating foods you enjoy. I compete in strongman and my events got quantitatively better during the deficit

[Maxted Neal @MaxtedNeal]

@z_groove @DrEenfeldt As you can see my diet isn't exclusively crisps and coke (and I don't particularly prefer coke over diet coke, especially given extra calories) - I make sure I have adequate, quality protein for training and time nutrient intake for performance 1/

[Maxted Neal @MaxtedNeal]

@z_groove @DrEenfeldt How would you define optimal fat loss? As the greatest ratio of fat to lean mass lost? I have tried it - my credentials below - 15kg loss at a 25% deficit whilst increasing gym performance whilst eating crisps burgers and chocolate (ensuring 1.8g/kg protein and optimising timing)

[Maxted Neal @MaxtedNeal]

@z_groove @DrEenfeldt Agree it won't be optimal health - but for fat loss, a deficit is all you require. Of course, certain foods like potato, veggies, and lean meat are going to be more satiating, proteins have a slightly larger TEF, but ultimately for fat loss a deficit is all your require.

[Maxted Neal @MaxtedNeal]

@z_groove @DrEenfeldt In what way is it a fallacy?

The importance of stupidity in scientific research!

Glorious 70 seconds of Nigel Farage going from uber-confident, to absolutely crestfallen.
