[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Metabolisms and body sizes vary. The habits that allow me to steadily lose weight at 150 lbs may only let me maintain my weight at 125, or even gain weight at 105.[/quote] This. As you lose weight, your caloric needs decrease. Therefore, to continue losing weight, you must either eat less calories or burn more calories through exercise. Most people I know stick to the same calories per day and then wonder why they are “plateauing”. [/quote] +1 there is no starvation mode, your metabolism doesn’t slow down when you eat little. however as you lose weight you need to eat less and less just to maintain. if you want want to maintain say 105 lbs you need to eat 1000-1200 or exercise a lot. that’s not dieting, not starvation mode, just what a small person needs to eat to maintain her weight.[/quote]
