  • Well say I burnt 2000 calories a day... and ate 1500 I’d lose weight if I kept that up over time right?

    • Of course. The 500 calories has to come from somewhere.

      It's sort of like having a full tank of fuel in a car, burning 2 gallons on your daily commute, and topping the tank up with only 1½ of gallons of fuel every evening. Eventually, the tank is going to run dry.

      • Absolutely dry. But I think this guy is saying the car's mileage improves when the tank is half empty. (By analogy, he is saying your metabolic uptake slows down under caloric deprivation). I don't think that's right either. At least Alice is doing the math. Good on ya, Alice.

      • But apperently if all I eat is carbs and fat and if I burn 2000 calories and only eat 1500 then I’m still going to put weight on
