Calorie deficit can make u thin at a price.
Google Dr Eric Westman of Duke Univ.
Google Dr Ken Berry .
See for yourself if it makes sense.
If your body need 1800 calories, you have two options:
1. Eat carb rich food but 1500 calories n go to gym which is unsustainable and unhealthy .
2. Eat 1800 calories but low carb and rich in fat/protein. Trust me, you will lose weight the moment you dumb carbs.
Calories from Carb is not the same as Calories from Fats. Calories from Carb is what keeps Insulin high, causes chronic diseases and obesity.
You dont need Calorie deficit if calories are not from carbs n sugar.

Weight loss is not possible unless you are consuming a balanced diet, and in smaller quantities, i.e caloric deficit.sundaymorningstaple wrote: ↑Tue, 13 Apr 2021 6:59 pmWell, I just put it this way. x9200 and I have had this discussion several time both online and offline and while our methods were different (but not substantially). We were BOTH extremely successful in our weight loss. I forgot how much x9200 lost the first time but it was considerable. I lost 26 kg in 22 weeks. I started the lifestyle change at the age of 60.5 years and finished the weightloss portion of the change 22 weeks later 6 weeks before by 61st birthday. In the process I went from a 40" waistline back down to a 32" waistline and from 94kg down to my military discharge weight in July 1968 of 69kg. I was actually lower that what my doctor/dietician (he's actually a cardiologist MD from SA) set the diet up to achieve, (70~71kg) and I did find it too low so stabilized it at 72kg which was my former 'fighting' weight. Stayed there for over 4 years and then started getting lazy (snacking late a night). Packed 15 lbs back on in 12 months. So 6 years after I finished the diet, I went back on the same diet for 3 months and got rid of it and back down to 72. Now I got to go back on it again.
By the way, at the beginning of the diet I was on lovastatin (Cholesterol), Atenolol & Losartan for HBP & Alopurinol for gout. 2 weeks after the diet, my local physician discontinued all my medications and told me I had the body stats of a 40 year old. Needless to say, at 61 I was a pretty happy chappie, and it was the first time I'd been off medications for around 15 years. My diet was a balanced diet except it was low carb (read virtually NO carbs). I'm about to embark on it for the 3rd time as Covid and retirement really disrupted my activity for the past 2 years.
