Advice on cutting belly fat

[austinite]

^ Yes, zero lactose. that is my recommendation, not the laws of life.

The reason why is simple. Your liver can only store so much. Any excess will be converted to fatty acids. This excess is carried off and eventually stored in those spots most people complain of... stomach area, breast, etc... This eventually ends up all over your organs, which will hinder their progress. Metabolism goes down at this stage.

So according to "IIFYM" theory, regardless of the source... If my macronutrient breakdown calls for 200 grams of Carbs. Instead of complicating things I could just eat 1 cup of granulated sugar every day. That's 200 grams of carbs. (Sorry, I just vomited at the idea, but you get my point...)

Now could you lose weight? Of course you can. You can lose weight while eating the most unhealthy foods all day long at a rate of 5000 calories. You'd have to run a marathon every day, but you would lose weight. This is why the Atkins diet works so well in it's beginning stages.

Killing carb sources from lactose, fructose, dextrose and maltodextrin will absolutely speed up your fat-loss journey. If anyone hits a wall or plateaus, these simple changes will move them forward. It did for me. And I only do this when I'm cutting to reach a goal. I don't do this to maintain my current weight.

So nothing new there which is only relevant to galactose...This excess is carried off and eventually stored in those spots most people complain of... stomach area, breast, etc...

Conversion of free fatty acids from glucose, fructose or galactose is common... Meaning it can happen to any of them.... So galactose is just the same here....

So what's wrong with consuming lactose? Am I missing the point here?

Well, it is sugar. Anything that ends in "ose" is sugar. Bodybuilders should not be consuming large amounts of sugar, and milk is loaded with it!

No, sorry, that's a fact, not a reason why one should not consume lactose....
