Those who claim to be "full" off less than 1200 cals per day
At the risk of sounding insensitive...why is it so difficult for some people to understand that eating less than 1200 cals a day is STARVING YOURSELF! The claims to be "full" at the end of the day on -800 cals is insane! (Unless you're sick or have some other issues). Do you not realize that the weight lost will be…

Just because you CAN have a 2 pound per week goal
Doesn't mean you should. I see it a lot. People with 10, 20, 30, even 40 lbs to lose with a 2 lb per week goal. And I know nobody wants to hear it, but it's important to know. Please read this post guys, if you are setting a 2 lb per week goal and not in the obese category or higher, you could be sabotaging your own weight…
