    Sane. Rational. Broken down to common sense.

    I'm speechless.

    Great post!

    The brain slow down thing probably explains why the chronic under-eaters are so adamant on continuing.. It's because their brain isn't functioning well enough to understand the problem! Oh my, what a vicious cycle.

    love this!

    I have such a hard time believing this is true but I know it is! I've started eating 1400-1600 cals in the last few weeks up from my usual limit of 1000-1200 and it seems to be working way better! wooo

    I love this. I have been losing tons of fat eating approximately 1600 calories a day and I'm only halfway done :smile: And I am so much happier when I'm eating more food rather than less! Thank you for this explanation, hopefully A LOT of people will listen :smile:

    Excellent! But I'd like to add that for a lot of people even 1200 is pretty low and they'd do better with more.

    Excellent!!! I was just discussing this same topic with my diabetes dr. and the dietician today. It's funny how years of bad information given to me (eat less if you want to lose) by parents, teachers, doctors who were old-school made me fail at every diet attempt. Invariably, I hit that wall and gave up.
    Yeah, I hit that plateau here, too. I increased calories which was scary because it went against everything I was taught. I was baffled, shocked and happy to find that in doing so, the numbers moved again. It's still hard to grasp with the old stuff still ingrained in my head. I still do it and I still lose!
    Very well written, OP!! :) Hopefully, it can become a sticky!

    I didn't really buy into this, since on week 1 I lost a lot more, and I ended my day sort of hungry, but now I know that was water weight. Just recently, I've been trying to stay under 900 calories and I am noticing lots of blemishes popping up and more hair in the shower drain and the scale isn't moving quite as much anymore. I would read all the "eat your workout calorie" debates and shake my head thinking, "All you people want to do is justify putting something else in your mouth." This post put things into perspective for me. Thanks for taking the time to write it! :wink:

    Excellent Post !!! Soooooo true and although I don't ever have a problem eating my calories on a regular basis - there are days when you don't feel hungry every hour and by the end of the day you realize you have calories to still eat.....and your post has reminded us all how important good health is along with feeling great !!! Thanks and all the best on your own journey !!! :smile:
