[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you think is “unhealthy” about it?

The truth is no, it’s not “unhealthy”. Decreasing calories for 4.5 months out of a lifetime? Nope. It’s really nothing.

I find that most people who say stuff like this are jealous that someone was able to power through and do something like this vs. any real actual concern over health isssues.[/quote]

We’re talking about more minor degrees of unhealthy, PP, meaning muscle loss instead of fat loss. Muscle is harder to rebuild. As others said, [b]the key factor is whether he was able to keep it off.[/b] If you only so this once, it’s no big deal. If you do this several times, you deprive yourself of essential nutrients and at a certain age this had repercussions on your health, in terms of accelerated bone loss, dental issues, loss of musculature, etc.[/quote]

NP.

I think the bolded is a bad argument against weight loss for most people. I am 185 pounds because over the past 5 years I have been able to lose 10-15 pounds pretty much every year. I gain it all back. If I did not lose these pounds, I will easily be about 210 pounds by now; I would just keep gaining every year.

Even if this guy gains the weight back, he will be gaining at a lower starting point instead of gaining weight on top of 237 pounds.

Most people who are overweight oevereat. Going on a diet for a few months will not stop overeating long term. But the diet creates a reset so that the consequent overeating does not lead to obesity.[/quote]
