I thought I remembered some of these meals being as low as 150 calories, I'm sorry. Most of the meals was I guess about 200 t0 300 calories now that I net research to remember more clearly. I didn't mean to not be more up todate thinking about these meals I use to eat all the time but it was a harmless mistake. I do not want to lie on purpose about anything, no sir.

Here is a link to the label of them, click and you'll see. I was only eating 1 meal like this per day. I am not lieing sir.

Copy N paste and goto this web link for a photo:

Message board won't let me post full URL of the above, sorry.

I did loose some weight yes but only eating 1 of these meals per day and the manual labor job I held was very hard. I did this for a long time but very little results. I hope you aren't saying I'm lieing, I'm not Steve.

Certainly not suggesting you are lying. I can tell you are sincere, so no worries on that front.

I am stating that eating that few calories at your size, and seeing no/little results in terms of weight loss leads me to believe 1 of 2 things:

1. You forgot about eating certain things. In my experience, and I've dealt with many obese individuals.... their self-reporting is usually way off when it comes to caloric intake. This is no reflection on you. It's simply an observation that I, and many other professionals have witnessed in the industry.

There was even a study, which I will try and dig up, where test subjects (obese) self-reported their food intake. Many of them said they were intaking roughly 1000 calories or so. That number, for an obese person, is even a severe deficit and will lead to weightloss.

The study conductors were scratching their heads. How could this be physiologically possible? The subjects were tested for metabolic rate, thyroid pathology issues, etc... and they were clear.

Then, they put the subjects in a controlled setting, in a hospital. Controlled in the sense that every ounce of energy (calories) that touched the subjects mouth's were recorded.

Guess what.

Magically, all of them lost weight.

B/c it's impossible not to.

2. Something is going on medically and you need to speak with a specialist.

That is my take.
