Guest guest Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 Hi, I so hope and pray this will happen to me!

I especially notice not having much of an appetite. I have to remind myself to eat, and I know how dumb that sounds, but it's true. I really don't have any weight to lose. Others have said the same about loss of appetite.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 I wish that would happen to me...do you think..it's only been about 13 days.

Lost 46 lbs. before that, but not so quickly. I don't have any problem eating meals, but have no desire to snacking. The loss is a good thing for me (still way overweight) but I remember reading posts from people who are underweight who said that the weight loss was a problem for them.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 Hi JR: Well I sympathize with those who find it difficult to lose weight. But I do not understand why. And I do not understand your post either. You say it is not that simple. You say that severely overweight eaters are far from the margin. But the data I showed suggest that in order to become severely overweight all they had to do was be 50 calories over their caloric expenditure for long enough. That is at the margin, IMO. The same thing presumably is just as relevant for weight loss as it is for weight gain. Sincerely no offence intended, but I suggest the following questions, which are not meant to be rhetorical (i.e. they are seeking answers, if you feel in a mood to answer them) may provide a means to getting to the root of the issue: 0. I guess my first question ought to be: Do you believe people who find it difficult to lose weight are eating too many calories? Or do you think there is some other reason? Depending on the answer to this some of the following questions may not be relevant. 1. Do you disagree that 50 kcal per day, times 365 days, times 20 years divided by 3500 equals ~100 pounds of weight? Presumably not. 2. Do you disagree that 100 pounds of excess weight is, 'excessive'? Presumably not. 3. Do you think that fifty calories per day is an unreasonably large amount of restraint to expect an individual to exert in the interests of his/her health? I wouldn't think you would. 4. Do you believe that the people who are obese and unable to lose weight really are 'eating next to nothing' as some of them claim? (If they are then they are performing miracles of energy conservation.) 5. Do you believe the simple '3500 kcal equals one pound of weight' is invalid? Or that it is not true that an energy intake deficit below caloric expenditure will result in weight loss? (Ignoring, obviously, day to day and week to week fluctuations caused by degree of hydration, etc). 6. Or, do you think the rest of us manage to maintain a reasonable weight because we have hopelessly inefficient intestines? Or body temperatures a degree or two above normal because of a 'fast metabolism'? (Certainly not true in my case. Nor among those established in CR who are noted, as I understand it, for having body temperatures appreciably below normal). There must be an explanation. And I think most possible explanations can be understood in the context of one or more of the above. Can you can see why I do not understand? I have some views as to why many people are unable to lose weight, but they may be OT for this forum, I think. And they may not be correct. Addiction is one possibility. Do you have any ideas as to what the reason might be? The explanation and the solution will probably be worth two Nobel prizes.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 not to keep harping on it, and not to be Off topic, but, if the topic is " weight loss " than the following statements have absolutely no evidence supporting them... >>>People who think they are eating next to nothing may, without realizing it, be eating mostly calorie-dense, high-fat, and high-glycemic foods. That will make all the difference. >>Lots of fiber and low-glycemic foods may be the real key. My concern is with the emphasis on " low glycemic " . In regard to weight loss, its irrelavant, and, as recent analysis has shown, there is little if any evidence to support it in relation to any other issue also. However, fiber, now thats another thing!! If weight loss is the topic, not only is (low) energy density very important, as is (high) nutrient density (for CR-ON) but, we would also be much better off paying attention to the fiber/calorie ratio of food that the GI or GL. In fact, fiber/calorie will prove effective not only for weight loss, but also Diabetes, CVD, and certain cancers as more and more data is showing.
