Can't finish my 97 cal lunch?!?! Too full!

I seriously have to ask, and this is a blanket question, not just aimed at the OP:
How the hell do people become obese, then say "I can't eat 1200 calories today, I'm too full!"
Seriously, it boggles my mind! Clearly these people ate way over 2000 calories every day to get that big, why can they not eat anything now!?
The reason it boggles you'er mind is because you are wrongly assuming that everyone who is obese over eats.
Can you please enlighten us how people gain weight? Because I always thought it was from eating too much, i.e. over eating.
That's one way. Another way is to eat the wrong foods. You don't necessarily need to over eat the wrong types of food to put up weight.
OK....I'll bite. What are the right foods.....and the wrong foods? And how are they metabolically different exactly?0 -

So are you telling me that the 50 pounds I've lost eating bacon and ice cream was the wrong way to do it?
Lol if it works why would it be wrong.0 -
Eat your veggies and drink your tea if that's what you want!! It's impossible to get your calories up on mainly vegetables, but starvation mode is a myth. I eat a very low calorie diet as well because of what I usually eat (tons of non-starchy vegetables in every color but especially green, lots of chicken, turkey, fish, seafood, nonfat plain greek yogurt, some fruit and legumes, less nuts, seeds, avocado, olives, and unsweetened cocoa powder, and occasionally steak/lamb, ice cream/frozen yogurt/a blended frozen banana) and drink (water, black coffee, and green tea) - but I eat a ton and my meals are way more than 97 calories. You will begin to feel hungrier soon. It's normal for your appetite to fluctuate when you change what you eat. It's vital that you eat enough protein and lift heavy weights or you will lose a lot of muscle mass in your calorie deficit. I can't stress that enough.0

Your pendulum has swung to far in the opposite direction. When we over eat - we go nuts. When we try to lose weight - we also go overboard. It's easy to do and you find yourself in that place where you are filling up on a lot of low calorie foods. This sounds right until you start looking at your macros and realize your nutrition is suffering. Not good.
Come back to the middle of the road. Put some salad dressing and protein on your salad. Eat some carbs with your grapefruit. What you are doing is not sustainable for the majority of people. I was once you. Read this link and make a plan that is right for you.

I personally don't see "Rudeness or unkindness" blunt honest truth, useful answers and a pinch of humor. You will always get these type of reactions on a public forum especially when you describe a eating pattern akin to an eating disorder that is extremely frowned upon here. Was my response rude? will you bother to read the extremely informative links that I provided before passing judgement on me as a meanie?Your pendulum has swung to far in the opposite direction.

"Starvation mode is a myth" is a hugely debated subject on here but I would recommend you read the links that I provided earlier to get the low down on what people are most probably talking about.Eat what your veggies and drink your tea if that's what you want! It's impossible to get your calories up on mainly vegetables, but starvation mode is a myth. I eat a very low calorie diet as well because of what I eat- but my meals are more than 97 calories.

So you are saying that I can eat less total calories than I burn, but if I eat them of the "wrong" foods, I will gain weight. Conversely, I can eat more calories than I burn of the "right" food, and still lose weight?
Please, can you let us know more about this theory and which foods fit into each category?0 -

Where's the protein? A grapefruit for breakfast and a salad without protein for lunch does not seem to be in your best interest nutritionally. Be safe. Feed your body a little more. Not harping. Just a little startled and concerned for you.0

How much did you eat yesterday? And the day before that? And the day before that?

If you eat "wrong" foods to the exclusion of "right" foods, and you stay below calorie targets, you will lose weight--including a lot of muscle. You will also have insufficient vitamins and minerals for your body to maintain itself, will become weak and prone to illnesses and infections, mess up your skin, hair, and nails, feel exhausted all the time, slow your brain function...
Yeah. Sounds fun. Not.0 -

It is possible to starve to death with fat on your body. There are nutrients you need to survive that are not stored in your body and must be replenished frequently. Starvation takes 2-4 months.
This isn't funny. You got issues...stop by a professional counselor on your way to diet-land so you don't injure yourself.0 -

Julianne,
To me it sounds like you have done a lot of reading about different ways to lose weight fast; two of which are using a detox tea and becoming a vegetarian. You have also combined this with eating a low calorie diet. The problem is that you are all over the place. What you need to do is decide what you can sustain. This is something that you are going to be doing for the long haul, not something that ends when the scale reads that magic number.
Were you always a vegetarian, or are you just adopting it now to lose this weight? This is a major decision to make. Is your son going to be vegetarian or just you? People who adhere to a vegetarian lifestyle or a vegan lifestyle have to plan carefully how to get all the nutrients they need. It's more than just putting a salad together. My suggestion is that if you want to adopt this type of lifestyle, you research it thoroughly so you do the best for you.
Little changes in your old way of eating would most likely be more sustainable and be less stressful in the long run when it comes to continually making meals for you and your son.0 -

This question has been answered pretty much every time one of these threads comes up.
Lots of people gain weight by eating (a) when they aren't really hungry (for comfort purposes, because it tastes good), and (b) smaller volumes of really calorie dense things (sweets, take out, etc.).
People also often don't have a good understanding of what a moderate balanced diet is and think that when you are going to lose weight you have to cut out carbs and fat, etc.
So quite often people get really motivated to change their diets and lose weight once and for all, construct a really rigorous diet that still involves a pretty good volume of food (you can eat lots of vegetables without many calories), and actually end up eating more food than they did in an average day before, although far fewer calories. Sometimes they undercount the calories, since they forget to take into account stuff like any oil it's cooked in, but often the counts are accurate. The fact that they are eating plenty of volume plus the excitement of starting a new plan tends to make them feel really satisfied in many cases--often surprising even themselves.
Having expected to be unsatisfied and hungry and excited that it's easier than expected, they find the idea that they should eat more when not hungry absurd.
IMO, this problem, such as it is, almost always takes care of itself, because eating the kind of diet talked about, for most people who haven't been in the habit of it, gets dull after a while. (This is not the same thing as saying a healthy diet gets dull.)
A softer way of coming to that realization would probably be to think about whether you really want to and need to cut everything you are, especially since eating really low calories over time isn't going to be sustainable for most.
That someone finds it so for a couple of days really isn't surprising.0
