You know what happens when you eat a heck of a lot less and do a heck of a lot more exercise? First off, after a week or so of near starvation level eating you lose maybe a pound, pound and a half. You rush to get your annual lab work done at this point because nothing but veggies and water have passed between your lips. Your doctor is very happy with all the results.
BUT you then become ravenously HUNGRY and want to eat the paint off the walls. So you have second breakfast. And elevenses. And lunch. Then tea time, then dinner. Yeah, you get so hungry you become a Hobbit.
And what happens then? Well, because you have now scared your metabolism into thinking another famine (a.k.a. diet) is coming, just as it did hundreds of times before, not just that pound and a half but 2 or more pounds come back on. And you're worse off than before you started. You're glad your next doctor's appointment isn't for another 4-6 months.
When will I learn?
