I think I've run amok when it comes to research on different kinds of diets & weight loss methods. And I don't necessarily believe everything I read (thank god!) but the idea of "eating MORE to lose weight" is absolutely lost on me.
I understand the basics of it - but really, if you intake LESS CALORIES than you need, should you not - BY DEFINITION - LOSE weight?? I've read all about the effects that eating too little has on metabolism. But some "diets" (granted, mostly fad diets) such as MediFast have people eating 800 -1000 calories PER DAY. And MediFast is one that promotes HEALTHY eating. Created by doctors, I believe? But of course most things I spend time reading claim that anything below 1200 calories will cause your weight loss to stall... anyway - does this confuse anyone else??
