How do you explain people who can eat all day and not gain weight!?
2 bodies react very differently to hundreds and hundreds of factors, just because one person loses weight starving (weigh in this case, being mostly muscle tissue), doesn't mean others will. Genetics play a big part
Genetics play a small part, the rest is simple biology.
There's a difference between your perception of someone who 'eats all day' and the reality of that.0 -

Answering a question with a question. Nice deflection
is there any proof that someone can eat all day and not gain without being incredibly active? The only person I've seen that could eat all day and maintain ran 15 miles a day. I'm not sure what there is to explain except that you still haven't answered my question. 0 -

Fair enough.
I can't prove anything as others have already jumped on, but to say everyone has the same cico formula is incredibly naive0 -
Losing weight requires a caloric deficit overall. If you're not logging your calorie intake correctly, AND you aren't exercising, there's a very good chance you aren't creating a deficit, and you may even be eating more than you burn each day, without realizing it. When I workout, I find I can better narrow the margin of error in my logging...tightening up my numbers while tightening up my abs! So diet is important to losing weight, but altho it's not required, working out, even simple walking, will get you there faster by ensuring a daily deficit......You're already doing something right if you've lost 5 pounds in seven weeks! Have patience, it'll happen...0

Besides a medical condition coming into play, everyone reacts to a calorie deficit-by losing weight. Even TEF makes very little difference.0 -

Its not a debate that people don't have the exact same cico. You said that people can starve themselves and not lose weight. That is the part we are disagreeing on.0 -
Not everyone has the same CICO formula (because variables such as muscle/fat ratio and physical activity will matter), but CICO is the basis of any weight loss/gain/maintenance program.robs_ready wrote: »TavistockToad wrote: »robs_ready wrote: »tara_means_star wrote: »How do you explain starvation and anorexia?

More than likely the OP ISN'T accurately measuring intake and/or may be too aggressive in deficit. Don't really know because she hasn't answered.

It's cool guys, I'm wrong, I guess you can't starve yourself and not lose weight.
Let's assume the op is not accurately counting, that's the more logical assumption0 -

People burn vastly different amounts of calories based mainly on body size, body composition, and physical activity. I went to school with a girl who was rail thin and ate a ton, but she also spent most of her free time doing sports, so she also burned far more calories than I did.0 -
We don't have enough info to definitely say what is going on. However, considering the number of times we repeat that weight loss is not linear, I'm working on the assumption that her weight loss is proceeding in its normal nonlinear manner.0

This. She's only been dieting since Christmas, she's lost ~1 lb per week, and she's not morbidly obese, which would allow her to lose weight more rapidly. Sounds like OP simply has a case of impatience (which happens from time to time).
Consistency over time is key. 2 weeks is not a plateau.0 -

Or the OP may be accurately counting and losing fat. Weight loss and fat loss aren't the same - a lot of other factors could come into play, mainly water retention. We don't even know if the lack of observed weight loss over these 2 weeks comes from 14 data points or 2 data points.0 -

1. Found several entries where you logged 400 calories for the day, 800 for the day, or 250 for the day. THAT'S NOT ENOUGH CALORIES TO EAT. Losing weight doesn't mean you starve yourself. So you're either eating way too little or you're not logging what you're eating.
2. I see you using "cups" as measurements. So do you use a food scale? If not, you need to. Cups is not an accurate way to measure.
If she's not losing I'd venture to say the problem is she's not logging accurately. She's definitely not eating too little.
Not necessarily,
I've seen many occasions where people starve themselves of calories and lose no weight, your body is a complex machine designed to survive hard times, holding on to fat for preservation.
sorry that is wrong…
if that was the case then there would be no starting people and you would not die from starvation ….
please stop spreading this myth ...0 -

no one is saying that everyone has the same CICO formula…what they are saying is that your body does to hold on to fat if you do not eat enough, that is ridiculous, because if that was true no one would die from starvation ...0 -
