[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like reading threads like this. For obese people, the thin brigade says it’s acceptable to eat 1000 calories, that’s your punishment for having gotten fat. For someone who is apparently thin, to eat 1000 calories is an eating disorder for which she should seek medical assistance.[/quote]

It is two entirely different scenarios.  If someone is obese, the body is able to meet metabolic needs through stored fat when there is a calorie intake deficit.  A thin person does not have this fat reserve and the body will need to break down essential muscle. [/quote]

Wrong, wrong, wrong.

I am severely obese and losing weight on a calorie deficit and increased movement.

I couldn’t lose any weight on that kind of calorie deficit. You have to be willing to lose it slow or you are destroying tons of muscle mass. That’s why one pound per week loss is optimal even for very obese people. My calorie allowance at 5’2” 250lbs is 1715 calories per day. [/quote]

PS - it is a much more complex biochemical process than what you describe and no being fat doesn’t mean in a calorie deficit your body automatically burns fat and not muscle. That’s just not how it works.[/quote]
