I just did the math and wrote this into a grant proposal for the National Institutes of Health. How big of an impact small changes can have over time…
“An obesity prevention program that was successful in getting its participants to lower their caloric intake by only 25 calories (e.g., 1.75 peanut M&Ms, 2 Doritos or 2.5 French fries) per day would effectively halt unhealthy weight gain in the majority of overweight individuals.”
Point is, you would never notice two fries missing from your extra value meal but that is exactly what is making America fat- consuming just a tiny bit more than what we need to. Think about it- very few people get fat overnight. In fact, it’s such a gradual process that most barely even realize it until they have to buy a bigger pant size. I say, if you’re going to get fat, you should at least enjoy the journey. Tragedy is people don’t. We call it passive overconsumption. Don’t live in denial until you are looking for a dress in a 12 and don’t starve yourself. Start now, all you have to do is cut out a few calories each day- just the ones you won’t miss!
Hi,
I’d like to know whether or not I am sabotaging my diet goals if my calorie intake is too low. Currently, I should be consuming around 1700 cals a day to achieve my weight loss goals. However, after controlling portion sizes at meal times, I’m getting to around 1200 cal a day. After a workout, I’m down to about 900 cal. Should I be trying to adhere to the 1700 cal a day goal more ?
Pretty nice post. I just stumbled upon your site and wanted to mention that I’ve really loved surfing around your posts. I’m hoping you write once more very soon !
This is a good alternative, because most diets force you to give up or limit eating your favorite foods, and start you on a diet plan composed of foods that you don’t like.
This is a great ways to cut calories from your diet. People shouldn’t forget that even the smallest of changes make a big difference when you’re trying to lose weight

Great tip, when you are trying to lose or gain weight, there is only one thing to look at…first anyway…and that is calories in vs. calories out.
If your goals is weight loss, you can typically create a “safe” calorie deficit of up to 1000 calories per day by restricting calories and exercising.
an alternative method that moderately to severely obese people
I agree, you can prevent your weight from increasing with this method
You make an awful lot of sense
