I think food withdrawal starts with hunger and then moves on eventually to death.

I'm still trying to figure out how someone accidentally drinks 3 liters of water. And netting only 50 calories a day while doing 1200-1500 calories of cardio every day, I hope your goal is to get sick because that's about the only thing it's going to accomplish.

You accidentally drank 3 liters of pool water while swimming? Are you imitating a basking shark?

Your fat cells can only release energy at a limited pace and if your deficit is more than that amount, you'll lose other tissue (like muscle) and/or your body will have to find ways to stop using so much energy by shutting down other processes.

Tell your family to go f*** themselves.

Log what is going to fit your goals. Measure as you put on your plate. Eat everything on your plate. The end.

I don't get this at all.

Do they have Intuitive Seeing where people 'listen to their eyes' and throw their glasses out the window? How about the same for hearing impairments? Is it possible that some of us just don't have a properly calibrated sense of how much we need to eat in order to maintain our desired weight level?

Congratulations on your psychic mind-reading powers.

I do it because I enjoy it. And I enjoy the challenge of trying to improve my time/pace. And the extra calories are nice too. That's how everyone starts. You improve on it bit by bit. Run 3 minutes, add 10% each workout. Or try a couch to 5k program.

No thanks. Sugar fuels awesome things.

If you want to think that laughing at the absurdity of this conversation is white knighting, that's fine with me.

How is that not what you're doing?

Extroverts...

Log what you're eating normally. Then you will be able to see where you can trim calories.

I've been going by fitbit's calories for 2.5 years and it has been very accurate, including running, biking, and playing ping pong. The only thing I add manually is swimming.

Holy crap, people. It's just sugar. But I'm sure that having the expectation of feeling awful for days will make for a nice placebo effect.

Pfft! You probably never even worked in a health food store!

Is this like having an advanced fairyology degree?

1- The OP didn't say they had an addiction, they said they had cravings. B- if someone had a legitimate addiction, why would they expect a public nutrition forum to be of any use in dealing with their addiction?

If that actually happened, and you can show it actually happens with your body, you could be collecting a Nobel prize.

I really doubt that any sane person with half a brain thinks moderation and gluttony are synonyms. It's safe to assume that anyone who acts as if they are, is either trolling or too stupid to bother with.

IMO it's like gluten intolerance: it exists but almost everyone who claims to have it is mistaken.

It's a token-based pyramid scheme. And it's still a ripoff. And real friends do not use their relationship as leverage to try to sell stuff to people.

What I don't get is why people have this mentality that the moment something is converted to fat, it's stuck in your body as fat till the end of time. Why does your body store fat? So it can use it later for energy. Sometimes even minutes later. Look at the one or two people who have no body fat at all, and they have to…

What does that even mean? How about we rephrase the question: If you are eating fewer calories than you burn ... where is this extra energy coming from? Is your body a perpetual motion machine? Is it conjuring free energy from the aether?

I don't have this problem because I only eat at restaurants a handful of times every year, and I've never had a homemade meal cooked by someone else that I'd classify as delicious.

Yep, placebo is all about expectations. But people act like being subject to a placebo effect is some sort of personal failing or character flaw so they get all defensive when someone suggests placebo is at work.
