This sounds very logical. If this were a math problem in class it would make perfect sense. ‘If Johnny has $3,500 and he gives away $1,500 a day, how many days will it take for him to go completely broke?’ But this doesn’t work in real life (at least where your weight is concerned) and I’ll tell you why.
Introducing the Starvation Mode
Let’s look at an example. If you were to try and drive across the country without refilling your gas tank what would happen? Your car would drive until you ran out of gas. Then you would be stranded.
Your body is a lot smarter than your car. When it detects that you are eating too few calories it enters starvation mode. Your metabolism slows down. Your energy level plummets. It starts eating in to your muscle tissue. Any extra calories you do consume are going to be turned right into fat. When your body thinks its starving, it does everything to keep you alive. This means, besides turning your body systems down it is going to turn your hunger level way up. You will crave the high-calorie, high-fat foods that your body knows will keep you safe through whatever famine you are obviously going through.
