Simple math ")

I've noticed. I simply didn't word it correctly. Didn't know there was a witch hunt here.

Still is simple math.

Doesn't matter how much you all tear it apart.

Sorry, I was only trying to help someone in the beginning to see the importance of eating and not feeling totally deprived.

This was not about wording something wrong. It was completely false information.

my whole weight loss story is related to this. I've been trying to lose weight for about 12 years now. It has taken a lot of research and my (previous) doctor calling me a liar to get to this point. I was roughly 282 lbs maintaining that at 700-900 calories per day. Agreed most people who are overweight lead sedentary lifestyles and take in far too many calories. But "starvation mode" is real and happens when you don't eat enough for your body to burn calories. Also things like cortisol and some other hormones I can't pronounce hold onto fat so it seems like there is nothing you can do. I INCREASED my calories to 1200 and Ina week lost 2 lbs. I have lost 22 lbs since November eating small meals all day keeping between 1200 and 1500 calories a day. The two separate weeks I did not lose was when I maintained less than 1200 a day (ie 1800 one day and feeling like I needed to make up for it with 3 900 calorie days) it really can happen that fast. There is no simple trick to losing weight. You have to figure out what your body needs and stick with it. I just want to say thank you for this post and hopefully it will help more ppl than it offends

This is what I've experienced. lose 80, gain 70. I've done this 3 times. This finally made since to me.

I've not experienced nothing but positive motivation. That was until I posted something that made so much since to me, finally. Thank you for this post, someone understands. ")
