[QUOTE="timewerx, post: 77432879, member: 314730"] It can actually turn profoundly difficult to lose weight by calorie restriction. The main "problem" is that the body is super adaptable. It will adapt to scarcity and guess what? When you restrict or undercompensate calories, your body will adapt to become more "fuel efficient" and be able to extract more calories from the food you eat while burning less calories at the same time, even during exercise!:doh: It's a good thing if you're in a survival situation like post WWIII and you're rationing the very little food you have gathered from the ashes of what used to be densely populated cities. These adaptations will let you keep your strength and alertness even if you're covering great distances on foot or bicycle looking for food while eating so little. Otherwise, if you live in a peaceful era of plenty, it will make your job of losing weight that much harder. You then have to reduce daily calorie intake more as the body keeps on adapting. It's crazy. While the required daily nutrients are probably essential, the required daily calories on the other hand may not be absolutely needed and you go under by a substantial margin. If you're looking break this "barrier" you may need time your exercises and only do them intermittently for short durations instead of one long session and only when you're feeling hungry. Doing a short exercise while hungry will trigger the "Hepatic Response" and will suppress your hunger. But you really have to keep the duration of the exercise short, like no more than 5 minutes each which can be moderate to high intensity. Because if you exercise too long trying to suppress your hunger, you'll run out of the stored sugar in your liver and then the only way you can suppress your hunger is by eating. [/QUOTE]
