I agree with the sports analogy, because it allows for enough nuance.
I think it's possible to be a great coach without being a great player, but you better be able to show results in players then. Many great coaches used to be great players. Some weren't. But it seems to help.
It seems clear that taking dribbling or dunking advice from Michael Jordan is not going to be helpful to most people. "Just go around the other players and put it in!"
I'm still 238.5lbs (as of this morning) and I'm doling out dieting advice. What you could say is: I've made great progress (54lbs or 10 jeans sizes down) but I'm not fully there yet. It's definitely worked, and maybe it stopped working for a bit, and hopefully now it's working again. It also seems to work, at least initially, in pretty much everybody who tries it, though some have trouble pulling it off.
But if I'm still obese in 5 years, or 3, you better ask what's going on.
Yea, 27 BMI seems like a good spot. It's just over 200lbs for me. I've previously been 199lbs, and people called me "thin" and I wore size M shirts. Boy, was I sure I'd cracked it :) Keto all the way! Hah..
I'm not sure I'll ever be able to stay there, especially effortlessly, on a "sane" diet. Maybe depending on what the definition of "sane" is.
If seed oils are true, clearly I can't ever eat seed oils again without starting the process over.
If protein is genetically a thing in me, or permanently broken, I might not ever be able to eat ad lib meat like many carnivores do.
Same for carbs.
I seriously doubt that my Non-24 will go away, too. So I might have to stay on keto for the rest of my life, or have my circadian rhythm go crazy again.
So I'm not exactly expecting to eat a "normal" ("sane" by most people's definition) diet ever again. In fact I got very comfortable with being keto for life only a few weeks into first trying keto, and having it fix my Non-24. At this point, adding carbs to my diet is a chore, and I didn't even enjoy them that much the few time I've done it. Oh no, missing out on bread! The humanity.
It's my favourite sports picture ever, a genuine great at the top of her game. And I am writing about sport using tennis as an example. The hell else I should choose?
lol, pic related?

(238.5/2.2046)/((6*12+1)*0.0254)/((6*12+1)*0.0254) = 31.46628173465978
Just barely, old boy. Abutting overweight borders, as they say in the estate agency business.
And I'll cut you 1.46 made-up units for being male and large framed, if indeed you are large framed...
But yes. You need to get your ass to 27 and stay there for a while before you can say you've cracked it.
And you need to stay there effortlessly while eating a sane diet before you can really say you've really cracked it.
Rome wasn't built in a week.

OK, *reasonably* sane.

You've made great progress, and your methods immediately obviously worked for me.
We have a lot to figure out, but you're the only remotely sane voice in the space. One of my scientific heroes.
Aww, thanks!
