Few calories = WEIGH GAIN
This whole theory derailed all of my attempts at weight loss. I still can't comprehend how people can say that you will GAIN WEIGHT by not eating enough calories. Your body can't go into starvation mode if you are eating! This is such a crazy and dangerous non-scientific theory that throws people off. Or hey, maybe I am…
