In 2007, I lost 53 pounds in five months.
HOW?
By cutting in half the amount of food I put on my plate.
While losing the weight, I ate 3 meals per day.
I never skipped a meal.
I drank two Cokes per day.
I’m still at the same weight.
Why?
I admitted I was practicing GLUTTONY, and I did what was needed to STOP IT.
You lost weight because you WERE Gluttonous.
But not everyone who is overweight is. In fact, many people are on a cycle of binging and starving.
And the government says “Calorie in/Calorie out”
If you fast, totally do away with food, your body goes into starvation mode. You will lose four pounds the first two weeks and two week after. After a while, it gets used to it and you can survive on less calories.
How do you think people survived the Death Camps? Some people need less calories.
When you start from Gluttony, it’s easy to cut back. It’s not so easy when you start from 2000 calories.
I and my fellow ballerinas lived for years with eating only on weekends.
Kudos.
