Are you sure about that? The body is not as simple as you assume, and weird stuff happens that makes literally no sense based on a simple energy in&#x2F;energy out equation that can&#x27;t only be explained by self-delusion.<p>It&#x27;s funny how much weight loss is an ideological issue to usually quite logical people - don&#x27;t assume you know this is impossible simply because you have a model in your head that says so.<p>EDIT: When I say self-delusion here I am referring to the apparent self-delusion of the author that the parent implies - to say you are only consuming 800kcal when there is an assumption that that MUST result in weight loss leaves only self-delusion as an explanation. My point is that there might be other factors (Emphasis on MIGHT...)
