re: Losing weight is so EFFING SIMPLE

I had a conversation last night and the person went into your body goes into starvation mode if you don’t eat enough and that causes you to gain weight. At that point, I realized some people just make up stuff In their head to avoid dieting.

I'll give that person a very small benefit of the doubt here as there was a time where that was a fairly repeated thought by dietitions and such, so it wasn't something they personally just came up with out of thin air. It is just something that got completely twisted form what actually happens. If your body goes into starvation mode (not really a thing but i'll use the term just to mean severe undereating), it will start using things you don't want it to use for your energy needs (muscles and such). It most definitely won't cuase you to "gain weight" or else anorexia wouldn't be a thing

Also, I can almost assure that person that they'd never actually be able to eat little enough to go into starvation mode long enough for it to matter. Its the same with the Keto stuff, overwhelming majority of people that think they are doing the keto diet never actually get into the ketosis state for a long enough period to actually do anything anyways. They just benefit form the fact that cut out all the bad cabs they eat and are now on a drastically reduced calorie diet and shocker, lose weight
