    So there is a double-standard on here based on a mythical starvation mode and magical minimal caloric intake?

    There's a good chance that a lot of the people congratulating him didn't even read the post.
    I'm totally guilty of that, I just read the heading, look at the pictures and say 'congrats'.

    My take is the double standard is in the fact he already completed the loss. She hadn't started. Maybe they were just blindly congratulating the guy or thought it's too late to point out not to do it. Dunno, I am not the poster so not sure what went through their mind. Just an idea.
