[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just be careful about dropping too much too quickly, or going too low calorie-wise. You can permanently eff up your metabolism for a short term gain.[/quote] This is completely untrue. Stop spreading ignorance. [/quote] I am ifnoi? This isn't even controversial. It is widely accepted, well known knowledge. "When you lose weight, one of the hardest things to do is to keep it off. In one study of a VLCD, 40 percent of participants gained back more than they lost. When you drastically reduce calories, even if you need to lose weight, your body thinks you are starving. As a protective mechanism, your body slows your metabolism – but this makes it harder to keep losing weight. It also means that when you start adding more calories, you can regain weight very quickly. Many people will find they regain faster than they lost after this kind of drastic diet" [/quote] That’s because they didn’t make changes that will actually stick. If you want to lose weight and keep it off it isn’t an XX week then I am done deal. It’s a lifestyle change and you need to change your body composition. Few or none of the people in that study did that I suspect. Do you have a link to the study? [/quote]
