The Truth about Calorie Restriction
Replies

Because you said 1200 is recommended by MFP. But it's not recommended for everyone and it's the minimum. That's all.0

You said it yourself: lots of binging. That, not calorie restriction sent your weight back up. Dug.0

"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."
Please provide a source for the "adults need at least 2000 calories" claim. Articles that state it as a fact with no referencing do not count. The WHO recommends eating at an energy balance.
As a population measure, WHO does indeed say that per capita consumption of 2000 calories is insufficient--an indicator of not enough food available in the country or region being analyzed. It's a correlation. In no way should that be misinterpreted as an individual recommendation.
Or perhaps you are referring to the "in a 2000 calorie diet" reference in nutrition facts panels? Also not a recommendation or a minimum requirement for health. It is a benchmark for average consumption.
Sounds strangely familiar today, doesn't it!
Serious deja vu :noway:0 -

I'm not gonna get in a pissing match with you, but did you even read the quote that I quoted? She said that 1200 was recommended. I was telling her that the recommended 1200 was from MFP, but it wasn't her TDEE. Do you even reading comprehend, bro?

Honestly, I don't know how I would have lost weight without dairy, meat, and some other 'non-whole' foods. I've enjoyed a Snickers almost every day on the side of my diet, and now have these weird "fat chunks" that organize themselves in groups of six on my torso.
So strange.0 -

Ps. You're advocating for this lifestyle in the wrong place. These people dont want to hear that there's another way besides calorie restriction!
So if you eat over your TDEE eating only "whole" foods, you won't gain weight?
Yup! I dont watch my calories, but my guess would be around 2000, instead of the recommended 1200, and ive lost 30lbs.
Basically, i eat as much as i feel like and listen to my body. Sometimes i crave only light veggies and fruit, and sometimes lots of starches.
Can you please explain the physics behind this?
*Also, 1200 calories is not "recommended" across the board. This is the minimum that anyone should ever be eating. Most people should be eating more calories than that.
Sorry, my mistake. To lose weight, it is recommended for my to eat 1200. I eat anywhere between 2000-3000 depending on how i feel.
If you look into 'the starch solution' all the research is there.
To me, it just makes sense. Im fuelling my body and brain with glucose, without sugar rushes/crashes because of the natural fibre. Im getting in waaay more nutrition because of all the fruits and vegs, which heals my body and makes it work more efficiently
So my TDEE is around 2100 calories. I am eating around 1700 to lose a pound a week. If I were to eat 3000 calories cutting out gluten, meat, and dairy, I would still gain weight.
You are counting incorrectly. You are not a special snowflake. You lose weight by eating less calories than you burn. That is the way our bodies work. We are just giant, breathing, farting, chemistry machines.

Ps. You're advocating for this lifestyle in the wrong place. These people dont want to hear that there's another way besides calorie restriction!
......... you just described a diet, as that will most likely result in initial calorie restriction while restricting foods you love.
Calorie restriction IS the only way to lose weight. What you eat is irrelevant to that, and the combination of proper caloric adherence and eating foods you enjoy = your lifelong dietary lifestyle0 -

Wait...so you DO count calories? Or do you just spin the wheel of fortune and declare whatever number comes up to be how many calories you ate that day?

I just wanted to expand upon your comment for clarity, because I felt it was a little incomplete. Ok sis?

So, you just know... in your knower... that you're eating 2000 calories, but you're not counting them... and it's recommended that you be at 1200 for... what???? A deficit of how many calories? What's your TDEE?
I'm sorry, but as other people have said, you're not a special snowflake. If you're eating above your TDEE, you'd gain weight. If you're eating below it, you'll lose weight.
The 1,200 number recommended by MFP is a guideline based on a number of factors and you're not providing accurate enough data to assess the validity of your claims.

Well, I have to say, this is new. Usually, it's cut all the carbs and sugar and don't count calories!!!!
Now it's eat all the carbs and plants and don't count calories!!!!
Dairy is the debil!!!!!!
Pretty soon, the only thing that's going to be okay to eat is going to be lettuce.

Hey guess what, I also eat 2000 and I've lost weight, because my personal TDEE is higher than 2000. CICO. I've lost 30lbs eating reese's, cheese, pizza, etc.
And until you track your calories, you have no idea how much you are eating. When I first lost weight like... 4-5 years ago, I "ate clean" and thought I was eating a lot. Hey, this is what a typical meal looked like for me re: portions
These are also tiny-*kitten* plates smaller than my face.0 -

So for you, 2000 is still apparently a calorie deficit...even if you aren't counting them.
Tell you what...let's try an experiment. Eat 3x the amount you're currently eating, but of the exact same type of foods you're eating now, for 3 weeks. Still gonna lose weight?
I declare this the derpiest thread of the day.
Lol arent you a little old to be using the word derp? Rule of thumb, dont say that if you're over 9 years old. I have no interest in arguing or eating more than i could stomach.. I just find that completely ridiculous.

Apparently not according to Dr. McDougall. This is fabulous (and SO Susan Powter):While easily providing the abundance of calories needed for winning marathons, starches do not promote excess weight gain. That is because the human body efficiently regulates carbohydrates from starches, burning them off, rather than storing them, when consumed in excess. How effective is our body’s regulation? Obesity has been unknown among billions of Asians with a wide variety of activity levels who have followed traditional diets based on rice. However, these people’s immunity immediately disappears when they switch to meals based on meat and dairy foods, because the human body unsuccessfully balances for excess fat consumption—storing these calories in the abdomen, buttocks, and thighs. The fat you eat is the fat you wear.
I really want a cage match between one of the disciples of this guy and one of the low carb gurus who likes to talk about how carbs get stored as fat, even in a deficit.0 -

Aw, please don't be offended, just because you have good sense about weight loss doesn't mean you have good sense in other ways.

Nope.The exact make-up of a healthy, balanced diet will vary depending on the individual needs (e.g. age, gender, lifestyle, degree of physical activity).
