[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My MIL has always been like this. I bet there are only a handful of times in her adult life where she's eaten more than 1,200 calories a day. Most days, she probably eats about half of that. She also smoked cigarettes regularly for most of her life and drank at least ten cups of black coffee every day when she was younger. She has serious health problems now and no longer smokes because of that, but she still restricts her calories. There is never any food in her house except for nonfat cottage cheese, broccoli, and some fruit. My FIL sneaks out to restaurants pretty regularly to get a steak and I don't blame him.[/quote] OP here: I totally believe this, and from what I gather in this area women eat very small portions. It is the maintenance of this diet that seems really difficult. Like how these older women don‘t just start bingeing one day because their bodies need more. But maybe it’s not as hard to maintain as I think.[/quote] From what I observe with my mom and her friends, it really isn’t a huge burden for them. They don’t obsess about food or talk about how they’d love a bowl of pasta, they just eat a boiled egg, a banana and a piece of toast and call it a day. [/quote]
