[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Starvation mode is real. 
[b]Weight loss is much more than calories in calories out, it's more about what you eat and when.
I'm loosing weight on 1800 kcal daily without excersising (just walking 10k steps).[/b]

how much do you weight? 
 I would also bet that you would lose even more weight faster if you ate 1200 calories a day. Not suggesting you do that as I think a more moderate deficit is better, but if you ate less you would not stop losing weight. People who claim to not lose weight on low calorie diets are not in "starvation mode" they are simply not really eating as low calorie as they want to believe. [/quote]
Im 5'7, 190 now, down from 225, and I keep going, for quite some time, with couple of plateaus and setback
No, thank you, I won't do 1200 ever again, it's not sustainable in the long run. I'm done with yo-yo diets, they are not healthy. I'll keep eating my 1600-2000 kcal, slowly and steady loosing 1-2 lb a month until I reach my goal of 165 lb, hopefully by the end of this year.[/quote]

Nope. You just proved that it is all about calories in and calories out. 1800 calories is fewer calories than what yo uneed to maintain a weight of 190 lbs.  When you weight 190lbs it isn't shocking at all that you can lose on 1800 calories. The idea that everyone needs to eat 1200 calories to lose weight is ridiculous. That is only necessary for people who weight under 120lbs. [/quote]
