[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would you recommend this same diet for someone who isn't grossly obese but just overweight?  I am 5'7" and 150 pounds. I would like to lose 20ish pounds.  Would eating 700 calories and walking 30,000 steps a day be recommended? I don't actually think I have time to walk 30,000 steps. Right now I am about 15,000 and that is walking the dog a few times and running around after my kids.  But I could certainly do 700 calories.  Or should I decrease it even more because I can't walk 30,000 steps? [/quote]

I mean, you know, talk to your doctor.

Personally I think it would work and you would lose those pounds fairly quickly. from my experience once you drop below 700 you can "eat as much as you want" and that is often just 500 calories because you don't feel like it. I say this as a person who struggled mightily to stay below 1500. I was obese for 15 years, growing every year. You just need to power through the first few days. a few months ago I was looking at research papers on VLCD (very low calories diets - 800 calories or les; it's a recognized weight loss approach) and I found some evidence it was more effective than low calories diets. Paradoxically, it's more sustainable. You just kind of give up on food. It's not teasing you every day.[/quote]
