[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Starvation mode is real. 
Weight loss is much more than calories in calories out, it's more about what you eat and when.
I'm loosing weight on 1800 kcal daily without excersising (just walking 10k steps).

It is calories in vs calories out.  But how do you really know what your calories out are?  It depends on your basal metabolic rate.  And starvation diets will make your BMR plummet.  [/quote]

You also don't really know what calories are in - really depends on individual metabolism of fat and carbs, also how good you chew your food, etc. Calories on the lable are not equal to calories your body would use in energy metabolism. For example, protein is mainly used in groth and repair, and only once those functons are covered, can potentially be used as energy source. Yet, all 4 kcal per gram of protein counted as part of your calories in. Sometimes fats are not metabolised at all,  they go in and out unprocessed, Alli mechanism is based on that concept. But again you count those 9 kcal per gram as calories in.
So, you don't know your in, you don't know your outs, yet it works ?? Seriously?
If simple methods calories in - calories out was working, weight loss would be easy. Yet here we are[/quote]
