Walking to Lose Weight - Fitness Tips For Any Season
Recommended Answer:
No, he's just dispelling the myth of 'starvation mode', which basically implies you do not lose body fat when you eat too little. The reality is you most certainly do lose body fat, but you also lose large amount of lean (muscle) mass, as is evident from the photos in the article of the starving men. I personally would rather lose weight gradually, maintain as much lean mass as possible, and look fit and healthy rather than a concentration camp victim. Eating 500 calories below maintenance is what is recommended for fat loss. That means for the average man who burns roughly 2500 calories a day, 2000 calories will result in a loss of 1lb fat per week. The average woman who burns around 2000 calories a day can lose 1lb per week on 1500 calories a day.
