So I put myself through famine. I bought one 6ince sub from subway, bread, no cheese, meat, all the veges. Just one sub a day. I ate this way until I lost the 40 lbs. I was amazed at what your body will do when it thinks it's in famine. There's about 30 defense mechanisms and they all kicked in, lethargy was one, reduced blood pressure was another, I drooled a lot.
So after all that came the hard part, how to keep the 40 pounds off. I had to change my way of living, eat like a thin person, new meals, calorie counting, etc.
I'm not surprised that there are fat people, I'm surprised there are naturally thin people.
