I'm having trouble accepting the whole calorie thesis. For one thing, I've eaten a
diet low enough in
calories have lost two or three times my entire
body weight for years on end and have done nothing but gain weight, and my ex-husband used to eat huge amounts of very fattening foods all day long and never gained an ounce.
If it's all about
calories, how do you explain these phenomena? Don't tell me my
body "went into
starvation mode and transformed everything into
fat" because I never starved. I ate as much as I wanted, whenever I felt like it, of satisfying whole foods in correct balance with respect to
fat, protein, carbs, etc. My ex on the other hand would eat tons of stuff that I couldn't even think of eating without gaining five
pounds just from the thought of it, yet he stayed thin, and he was not that active of a person. No more than me, anyhow.
I've been eating more often and in smaller quantities per meal for the last year or so, and it has not resulted in any
weight loss. Quite the opposite! I am stumped over this.
