[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I got a CGM, I'm obese (barely, but still BMI of 30). With the CGM I brought my A1C down to 4.1 from 5.8. I did not lose any weight. For a month I ate as I normally would and tracked and weighted and logged every single calorie that touched my lips. Found that I  eat between 1800-2600 cal a day.  I maintain at that weight.  I then cut calories to a strict 1,600/day. I keep my meals very basic and plan out everyting I am going to eat for the week.  For instance today is 2 boiled eggs, slice of sourdough with a pat of butter and  4oz blueberries for breakfast, Lunch is a chickpea and vegetagle cold salad (also contains avocado and feta along woth the veggies), Dinner is broiled skinless chicken breast (marinated in lemon, garlic, OOV, salt and oegano) with green beans and baked sweet potato on the side.  Snacks will be 2% greek yogurt with fresh raspberries and naked pistacchios. All I drink it water, hot tea, and black coffee. Never a sugar drink, never alcohol  After dinner I get one square of 85% dark chocolate. I have been eating like this now for 2 months. Guess how much weight I have lost?  0 pounds.  My body adjusts indredibly quickly to whaterver I am eating and stays at 195lbs no matter what. Only benefit i see so far is I have more energy and my poops are spectacular.[/quote]

This is not a thing.

First off, it's laughable that you say you ate between 1800 and 2600 calories a day. That's an immense range and not a targeted eating goal. Second, there is no possible way you cut 1000 calories a day out of your diet and did not lose weight if you were maintaining on 2600 calories a day. The math does not work. Bodies do adjust over time; if you starve them they will figure out how to get by with less but that does not happen as quickly as you are suggesting.[/quote]
