Gee! What a horrible experience.
I hope you will eventually recover.
Get this one... true story. I went to an endocrinologist who was supposed to be a big deal at Cedars Sinai in Los Angeles. I'm complaining that I can't sleep and am gaining weight at an ungodly rate. You know what he said to me? "Are you dating anyone? I really think you'd be much happier if you found a nice guy and quit flying."
Swear to God. I never darkened that guy's door again.
A couch potato burns about 1800 cals/day just watching Judge Mathis and Oprah. ie just to survive. Bigger people burn more cals just laying around, there's more to operate
A pound is 3800 calories.
Neutral weight is around 2000 calories based upon these figures. 3800 - 1800 = 2000
Any day more than 2000 adds weight, anything under 2000 takes it away.
Suppose a person eats 1600 per day (losing 400 k/c each day), you must to do that for 9 days to lose a pound. (400*9)-
OH a quarter-pounder with cheese meal, fries, drink equal 1200 calories, 1600 isnt an easy nut to cut.
