    I just saw my Dr. on Tuesday,(I am a Newby). I asked him to explain to me how this weight loss thing works. It is equal to a mathematical problem....We consume food. If we consume more than we burn through out the day, we gain.If we eat less than we burn we lose. But be smart about it. Be healthy. Just a Newby perspective.

    Yeaaaah she's probably 1. Lying (both to herself and you) 2. On a starvation high and 3. Going to end up in a hospital either for physical problems from this or for her eating disorder.

    she says you can't beleive what you read on line...about US? LOL! Crazy talk! Seriously though, she is doing such damage to her body, and ultimately to her whole self by trying to live this way. Its unsustainable...something will break down, and probably soon. She isn't even approximating decent nutrition. Its sad. The things we do to ourselves!! I am so glad I have never fallen into a trap like the one she is closing around her own foot!

    I am betting she misunderstood the advice that you have to "burn off more than you consume." Good advice but she totally misinterpreted it. You need to have a calorie deficit but you also need to give your body energy to function. She doesn't realize that your body burns calories in other ways besides exercise.
