OP wrote that it didn't take a "crash diet" for him to lose 4 lbs a week, that "The recipe is simple and something we all know - Caloric deficit." That "something we all know" implies others can follow his example (which he later clarified was eating more than 1600 calories a day) to lose weight. That is what people are reacting to. If he had said, "I realize I can still eat more than many of you do and still lose weight" or just "I cut x calories out of my daily diet" then there wouldn't have been the reaction.

Losing 4 lbs a week sounds great but it is not possible or even healthy for most people to lose that much, because it usually means they are losing water weight or even muscle. Women especially should not be aiming for more than 1-2 lbs a week weight loss.

There was definitely a “you dummies don’t need to do all that crash dieting, it’s really simple. In case you don’t know, here’s how to lose weight…” as if most women haven’t been dieting semi-professionally so as not to ever gain a pound for all of their adult life. [/quote]
