[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are not eating nearly enough. That's far under 1000 calories. With what you're burning you need to eat twice that! Add some healthy fats, protein and greens.[/quote]

Not eating enough is not a thing. It is biologically and chemically impossible to NOT lose weight by NOT eating enough.  Come on people - remember high school??  Calories in < calories out = weight loss.  It REALLY REALLY is this simple. [/quote]
Oh my god. We’re still in this loop? Still? [/quote]

Yes because people still want to complicate weigh loss. [/quote]

Weight loss IS complicated. Our bodies are complicated. We are not simple engines where we can predict exactly how any fuel input will be burned. [/quote]

No it really is not complicated. Eat fewer calories than you burn you lose weight. You can eat high carb, low carb,  fast 20 hour or eat every house, all way will lead to weight loss. Sure we don't necessarily know exact values, but with time and patience you can figure it out. For example, eat 1600 cal every day for a month while weighing yourself daily. If at the end of 30 days with at least 90% consistency your weigh is trending down and you've lost at least 0.5 lbs a week then you found a calorie amt that puts you in a deficit. If at the end of the month you haven't lost much adjust down slightly. and so forth.

Now, I am not saying that weight loss is easy. Food and our relationship with food can be complicated. Eating in a deficit it not easy. Breaking bad habits is not easy. But the laws of thermodynamic do not change. [/quote]
