[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 741263, member: 18958"] This is what worked for me. When I first went to the nutritionist she put me on a diet of about 1700 calories!! No wonder I did not lose weight. I do not know if it is risk management or what. But when women in particular get older they really do not need that much food. If I eat about 900 I do not feel hungry, if I eat low carb. It is easy to get the nutrition I need at this quantity of food, if I make the right choices. There is a school of thought that we are healthier if we consume fewer calories than we require, as a permanent lifestyle. There are people, even youngish men, who live their lives underweight and consuming fewer calories than are required to maintain their weight. They exercise. They do this because they believe that this supports longer life, and healthier life. I will google what this mindset/lifestyle is called. I do not think we were meant to be fat in any kind of permanent way, or even well-fed. Nourished is different than well-fed. Well-fed is like a stuffed goose. I think part of the work we have to do is to escape a mindset that equates feeding with well-being. We have been fed a whole lot of nonsense about eating. Think about the lobby by the corn and wheat industries of this country that resulted in the food pyramid that gave rise to such ill health and obesity in this country. Think about all of the so called healthy "low cal" snacks, that are composed of sugar and carbs that arose towards the end of the last century. Think about the demonization of fat. I think that our bodies know what is best. If we are able to feel satiated by fewer calories, with ample energy and concentration...that this is the listening that needs to happen. So called authorities may not really know, while they pontificate, or they may be serving something other than our health. This is why I am appreciating this thread. Each of you is in relation to their own body and trying their very hardest to as best you can achieve a state of health and well-being. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
