Calories?
the theory of dont eat more than you burn is worng. if you are consuming 1500 calories or less you are still losing weight. i kept myself at a 1500 calorie diet...still eating what i wanted...as long as i didnt go over those 1500 cals and still lost 60 lbs.
The rate at which people burn calories, and the number of calories a person's body requires each day, can vary based on metabolism and activity level. Some peoples' bodies would go into "starvation mode" on a 1500 calorie diet, particularly if those calories were made up of foods that don't contain necessary and useful nutrients.
For example, I just ate a couple hundred calories worth of peanut butter/raisin toast. I could have just as easily have eaten the same number of calories worth of strawberry milkshake Whoppers, which were sitting right next to the bread, and I would have failed to provide my body with useful nutrients.
One of the goals of the Challenge and our group is to help people change unhealthy diet & exercise habits into healthy habits, and to understand how these habits can affect overall health & weight.
While people may have different personal experiences, stating to a group of over 25,000 people that a scientific FACT is "wrong" based on personal experience is not responsible, and one person's experience is not a substitute for factual evidence.
