    An adult needs at least 2000 calories to adequately function daily in order to be healthy. Anything lower than that is considered starvation according the world health organization.

    True! I can Google a few nutrition articles on the interweb machine and then turn around and call myself a "nutritionist"

  • Does MFP have cardio exercise entry for "typing frantically for 30 minutes while experiencing diarrhea of the brain" ? Ha Ha Ha.

    It's on the same level as this girl I know who calls herself a "photographer" because she has an camera phone and a couple of photo apps.

    I thought this post was great. Though I don't think the truth you realized from restricting calories for yourself applies to everyone else, I do agree that your body knows when it's not receiving enough nutrients. Obviously, your body needs 2,000 calories a day to function efficiently, unlike some other people who may not need as much or who may actually need more.
    Moreover, if you do restrict your calories to the point of nutrient deprivation, it will lead to starvation mode and a subconscious desire/need to overcompensate. This likely constitutes as an eating disorder, so what I think you're trying to say is that restricting calories can become extremely disordered when it becomes an obsession.
    Anyways, kudos to you for coming out of it and being happy just as you are. =)

    Btw, I'm not implying that you had an eating disorder, I'm just saying that calorie counting and restricting can become disordered.

    I gave up trying to explain CICO to people....So now I'm all "yeah - enjoy your boring chicken and brown rice while I eat this pizza..."

    I'm lucky, I don't like pizza! LOL But I do like chicken and brown rice with A-1 Steak Sauce (and a heaping pile of steamed veg!). But I get ya! :smiley:

    Oh boy. I had this huge debate on FB yesterday arguing with people who said cico doesn't work. I directed them to the mfp forums. I hope I didn't drag a whole lotta trouble over here.... :open_mouth:

    Oh my... *what* have you done :)

    Welp, I read it. I think I may have some wine.

    At least it's vegan, so it won't make me gain weight.

    Are you sure? Most wine is not considered vegan.
