However it can be done with the right food to the tune of 800-1000 calories which is actually more then people will see after surgical solutions in most cases. Also it doesn't take a herculean effort on their part if the satiety index of the food keeps them full and maintains their blood sugar levels every couple of hours. Problem is most people will try to do that on their own and won't maintain nutrition requirements along with the limited calories. So they won't make it but a few days and give up. The problem with metabolism can be solved by reintroducing food properly and slowly increasing the calorie intake to a normal basic metabolic rate requirement to maintain the weight loss afterwords. Often people have no coaching and they just go back to old habits of eating the way they did before they lost the weight. That is why their weight loss doesn't stick. However if they take the time to re-amp their metabolism and use exercise to maintain/increase muscle mass, they will find it much easier to only do that journey once. Thanks for the response and good to have you around. Gary a very low calorie diet at 500 would be hard to meet nutritional support that the body needs to prevent muscle loss as well.

Thats a 5th grader you never have to carry around with you anymore ;) I agree with you on this too. This is actually something I was thinking about the other day. Most doctors recommend a VLCD (very low calorie diet) for weight loss, its even on the website for the National Institute for Health! That kind of thinking is dangerous and even if someone has the mental fortitude to only consume 500 calories a day there is no way they could continue that for very long and afterwards they've wrecked their metabolism so bad that they gain the weight right back. This got longer then I wanted but I do agree that the medical community doesn't really understand weight loss either. Great work with the weight loss!
