A couple of women in town weighed well into the 300’s and for lunch, they would br8ng in a cake apiece and sit and eat it all- after a huge lunch. Eventually they began walking and dieting, and did really well. Not sure if they ever relapsed or not though.
Simple math really... the less calories you take in, the more weight you will lose. I cznt even imagine ehzt their calorie load was when they were eating enough food for 3 people.
The world’s strongest man contests have contestsnts that eat tremendous amounts of calories per day, but they are working a lof of that off, and they need that many to keep their bulk up to turn to muscle. But these are folks that dead-lift cars for fun.
Right! Some time after my second (and last) child was born, I hopped on the scale. The weight was the same as when I was full term with my second son (I had gained the 30 pounds recommended by my doc). Hmmmm, I thought, there isn’t a baby in my body, that’s fat! So I ran and exercised and dieted. It has served me well for the past 40 years!
