You have my sympathy. I tore my left meniscus about 10 yrs ago and had arthroscopic surgery to repair the damage. Fortunately (for the long term), the tear was in the outer portion of the meniscus where there was good blood flow. So the tear was "clipped" together, and I couldn't bear any weight on it for about seven weeks…

Not an on the go, but my weekend breakfast is usually 2 poached eggs (done in the microwave; 1 min 25 secs in a plastic egg cooker in a 1100 watt microwave) with some sauteed veggies and turkey breast.

"if starvation mode existed, you would not see emancipated people from the holocaust" -- Um, you do realize that that is a *completely* different situation than a restricted diet, right? That was actual starvation. We're not talking about that. But I think we're done talking since my tolerance for rudeness is right around…

vespiquenn, sorry, but it's a pretty much proven fact that a person's metabolism slows down when they eat drastically fewer calories than their body requires. It's not a healthy or sustainable way of eating.

You don't say what your current weight is, but if your TDEE is 2100, then only eating 1200-1500 calories a day may be your problem. When you eat that much lower than your body needs for an extended period of time, your metabolism can slow down drastically. When that happens, your body hands on to every calorie and it…
