For 3 years? Then why do people lose weight when starved?
If that's true, then how many cals am I supposed to eat? I've tried 1,500, 1800, 2000, 2500, etc. and nothing works. I just gain weight with anything over 1500-1800. I think 3 years of 1500 is enough to get your body out of the starvation mode. This was combined with an exercise regiment too (which is proven to be not nearly as effective as dieting at losing weight).
