And if reducing what we eat didn’t result in 100% of people losing weight, if reduced enough, there would have been fat people in the concentration camps.

When I was in high school, I lost 50 lbs over 9 months. I was eating 1000-1200 calories a day and jogging...so yes, you WILL take the weight off, but at what cost? At 50, I lost 10 lbs over a couple of months, but had daily headaches doing it. It just wasn’t worth it to me.

Sometimes people need to look at their balance of exercise & eating and decide what is acceptable to them. They also need to think of lifestyle - you change weight by changing how you live, not by dieting. That may mean accepting some extra weight because you don’t want to live in a way to remove it.

No my FRiend. The people that survived on that very restricted diet, prove the point.

Our bodies work to store fat. Some do it better than others. At one point this was a blessing. Remember, abundant food has only been around for about a century. Those that could store the most fat from the calories they consumed, survived. Those who couldn’t, starved.
