Default Interesting Facts I Found

I found a "program" and it was talking about how your body adjusts to your intake of calories, fats, and carbs. I thought it was interesting, but I didn't know if it was 100% true.
It stated that if you start eating less colories, your body will adjust to burn less calories, ect. Does anyone know if this is true?
The web address I found the info on is www.dietingedge.com if you want to research it.

Thank you for your help

It's true. How would our body know that we are living in such abundance? This is its survival mechanism, our body is just trying to stay alive as long as possible by conserving energy.

But I want you to know that this issue is not a major concern to anyone of us out here. If you're doing things the right way, you'll lose the weight. Focus more on your physical activity and diet rather than to bother with such issues. Whether you like it or not, it will be there.

Hope that helps

That's true, and that's why current thinking is to never go below your basic methabolic rate (and never below 1,200 cals a day for females, unless they are less than 5' tall) to provide enough calories for your body to function and prevent it from going into a starvation mode.

Usually, you want to stay at or above your BMR, and create ~250 to 1000 calories a day deficit with excersising. Your BMR will be calculated for you in the Food Journal section if this site. It depends on your gender, age, etc, and is a ball-park figure.

When people hit plateaus one of the methods to break it is looking at the amount of food they are eating; for some people, paradoxally eating 100 to 200 cals a day more triggers further weight loss (and that's 100 to 200 cals a day, not 500.)

A proper weight loss actually incorporates the plateaus - the time necessary for the body to adjust to the new state. Generally, one can expect a plateau after losing ~10% of the body weight. At this stage maintaining is very important, or the weight will just bounce back.

The 'information' you are looking at though is very abbreviated, partial and sensationaly worded. It looks like they are trying to push yet another miracle diet. Slow and steady via nutritious healthy food intake and goodly amount of excersise is the only thing that really works.
