Mandator posted:You can lose weight if you eat 1500 calories a day. Yes, something more does need to be said. I've been seeing this point come up a lot and I want to address it. I have been overweight before and when I tried simply to restrict calories I could not focus when I was at my job, and I just couldn't afford to lose that productivity at work. I probably would have been fired or would not have advanced in my job. When I started to address where my calories came from I was able to reduce my caloric intake without the same problems. I'm not saying all overweight people have the same problem but it was a real issue for me and I wouldn't be surprised if it was for others.

Mandator posted:Fair enough. What if you increased the calorie count until you felt you could focus, then slowly reduced it week by week? I'll admit that quite possibly would have worked. I did find it difficult for various reasons (e.g. odd working hours, meals cooked by others(I lived in a co-op), varying levels of physical activity week-to-week) to get reasonably accurate numbers both for expenditure and intake when I did try it.
