I’d say they are old enough to handle it by then (mostly). One hour less sleep is less dramatic when they are six compared to two.

Nice, I should try that. I’ve had no real success with teaching my 2 year old to wait.

There is no reasoning with them until ~3 years old, just diverting their attention.

Simple ≠ easy

The equation is simple. Actually losing weight is difficult. This is what confused me about your first comment, I couldn’t tell if you were saying that it was not simple or not easy. And as you said, losing weight could be lost as either fat or muscle. If your energy intake is less than what you need to sustain your body, the body will take from your reserves (could be fat or muscles).

I am sure there are complexites to this that I am missing, like what happens if you were to starve then start eating again. The advise I find to be the best is to try to find a diet that you can maintain indefinitely. That does not mean to never eat ice cream, it means to eat less ice cream. If you are eating one bag of chips per day, make it once a weak. Did you eat X today, don’t eat Y as well

Gaining muscles though, all I know about that is mostly nothing so I won’t speak on it.

I’m confused. Your original comment was worded as if it stood in contradiction to cico.

Does not what you said just boil down to cico works, but knowing how much energy your body uses on a daily average (o in cico) is difficult to know and to not trust random values on the internet?

I’ve heard that you cannot absorb (for lack of a better word) more that 30g of protein/day (adjust for your body weight).

Is that remotly true?
