I’m trying to lose weight and was told that hwo I eat about 800-1000 calories a day is too low and lowers my metobolism which will prevent weight loss. I’ve looked up some meal plans and can’t really afford stuff like chicken breast, steak, or salmon every week. So that is why I’m wondering how I can eat 1500 calories a day. Are there some alternatives that I can do?

Also I’d like to ask, say I exercise and burn say 500 calories would I have to eat those calories back or no? I ask cuz I’ve been told yes and told no.

    You really need to work on that reading comprehension. Valmond stated that people will regain weight when they return to eating normally after dieting.

    You claim that’s not how physics work, then move the goal posts stating “if people only eat what they need, they won’t gain the weight back.” Well no shit Sherlock, but they’re not eating normally. They’re gaining the weight back if they go back to eating normally.

    Quit being so quick to attack folk and read the fucking post.

      Again, that’s not normal eating is it? If they were obese in the first place. Stop acting like it’s somehow normal for someone to consume 4000 calories a day or more.

        Normal for them, not your normal. Nobody asked you for your personal definition of normal. Again, reading comprehension. Get some.

          Lol no just no. Stop please. We’re talking about CICO and actual facts. Not bullshit made up by the HAAS gang who doesn’t want to believe that being obese is extremely not healthy for you.

            No, we’re not discussing CICO. We’re discussing your inability to recognize that the OP used the phrase “eating normally” to describe dieters returning to their normal eating habits (ie, how they ate prior to dieting), and your resulting attack on the OP.

              Yes we are discussing CICO, which you and a few others seem to be completely ignorant of.

              On top of that, no where has OP said anything about eating normally in his post. They have stated they wanted to know if the junk science they have been told is true or not. You coming into the topic and describing bunk science and acting like a climate denier, is exactly what I’m tired of seeing. It’s bullshit science you’re spewing and doesn’t actually help anyone.

                Quote by the OP, emphasis mine: “Your body probably will go full panic mode and store back as much as possible as soon as you starts [sic] to eat normally again. I’d advice agains [sic] doing anything so violent, and just lower your food intake to a bit under normal.”

                After which you attack the OP for violating the laws of physics. The OP didn’t attack CICO, promote bunk science, or deny climate. Neither am I.

                You’ve got the personality of dog shit and an equivalent reading comprehension. Quit gaslighting.

                  OP is the OP not a commentor in this comment chain. I didn’t attack them, I pointed out that they’re wrong. It’s not my damn fault you guys follow junk science and yes go read other comments from here, people absolutely are attacking CICO with more junk science.

                  I honestly don’t give a shit about my personality, this is a forum and I’m here to have honest factual discussions, not have people lie and twist facts to their own agendas. If you want that go to truth social or Facebook.
