About half that is what’s recommended for a target. I don’t think 5kg/mo is crazy unusual for the first month or two of a diet, but would typically be followed by a plateau. Could also be dehydration from additional exercise, but that wouldn’t account for all of it.
Yeah not very crazy if they cut back on their daily intake of Big Gulps, 12 pack sodas and jerrycan of orange juice they suddenly have a significantly lower daily calorie intake. Obese people need more calories just to maintain their weight. Since even fat cells need to use energy to stay alive. Obese people can drop the first kilos very fast just by cutting calories.
Exactly. If you’re still hungry after eating, then you’re starving yourself.
The point is to eat until you’re satisfied, not until you’re completely full. If you have a difficult time determining when that point is, count calories for a week or two until you figure it out. I consume an average of 2300 calories a day. That’s a lot of food—about two large meals a day (or one large meal + constant snacking throughout the day)—but I’m still losing about half a kilogram (1.1lb) per week on average. All because I’m burning more than I eat. And I barely even work out.
