[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry guys. The biochemical reactions that keep you alive require a certain amount of energy to make them occur. Studies of large cohorts of adults show that that amount of energy is north of 1500 kcal for individuals weighing more than 60 or so kg. [b]you cannot maintain a body weight of 70kg on 1200 [/b]kcal per day. You will wind up burning all of your adipose tissue as well as muscle. [/quote]

Explain that to MY body. I am a veteran of calorie tracking. If I eat a tic tac, I record it. I hate this, because it borders on disordered, but I need to keep such careful track to face skeptics like you, pp. I eat 1200-1300 calories a day and I work out daily and take 10k-15K steps, 1/2 of which are stairs and vigorous dog walks.

Not only do I not maintain weight, or lose, I have been gaining steadily for three years.

My thyroid is perfect. I have muscle mass (not as much as I would have if I could eat more calories and not blow up). I suspect it is some combo of early menopause, by BCP, and my SSRI. I have no idea.

But you may want to believe your 1200 cal starvation theory, but it is simply not true for everyone. I used to be able to cut out a latte a week, work out for 15 minutes more and lose weight, but not anymore.

And all yours, and others', skepticism in the world doesn't change that and doesn't help me find a solution. Or others like me to find one.[/quote]
