To the OP good luck in your weightloss journey.

I would be grateful if you could highlight an example of where I advised the OP to try any form of unhelpful weight loss?

I am not promoting anything other than the fact that people should do their own research. I make no apologies for that.

Like my initial reply 😉

Not sure what case you are resting? I see that some people are responding to the OP as if she has three quarters of a stone she wishes to lose and others as if she has three or four stones. Quite a difference.

Maybe some of those people who read that have the ability to read further to get to the words "Or not"

I what way do any of my posts promote any diet?

I said "may" not "needs" big difference. No need to reduce your comments to name calling.

Which is why I said after reading comments on here the OP may wish to seek such supervision.

No. I said the OP needs to research. 800 cals may or may not be appropriate.

I am not promoting any sort of diet. I am suggesting people research diets that may be suitable for them. Apologies if discussing diets proven to have health benefits is forbidden.

No but after reading and doing more research the OP, and indeed others, may consider an 800 calorie diet as being suitable.

Perhaps the OP is hoping to do a very low calorie diet under medical supervision? There are have been very interesting results, published in The Lancet, on the benefits of such a diet, under supervision, in treating diabetes. Can't see, in this case, how it would be considered an unhealthy diet. Obviously not suitable for…

Very true. All decisions should be evidence based.

Others would disagree but it is for individuals to seek out information to make their own informed decisions rather than rely on comments in online forums.

Don't think the sedentary two year old is trying to lose weight though 😉

You may be able to successfully lose weight fast on 800 calories with no ill effects. Or you may not. Everyone is different. There are those who will advise against any diet so low in calories still there are others who would advocate it. See what scientic evidence you can gather to support or refute the claims people make.

Is the word "not" missing? If you don't want to lose weight, eat more.

Everyone has to start somewhere. Enjoy the journey

So I can donate my body to medical science. My local teaching hospital doesn't take obese cadavers.
