This while article sounds like a justification for the author not losing weight.<p>There&#x27;s so much information available about losing weight, I doubt all of the articles are true.<p>That being said, eating 1500 calories a day and running for 30 minutes twice or three times a week have helped me lose 40 pounds in 3 months, and after that, I re-raised the calorie limit to 2000-2500 a day. There&#x27;s not much science involved, eat the right stuff and work out.
