Loading...If you want to see really really bad advice being put about as good info by experts, I’ve found a new winner.
“SparkPeople is making the world a healthier place one person at a time.”
Yeah, sure they are. With advice like this:
Eating Less Calories than you Burn each Day.
Eat anything less than what you use each day (1500 cal BMR, 250 cal digestion= 1750), consistently, and you will lose weight. So, if you eat 1200 on this day (a 550 calorie deficit), and all week long like this, you will lose 1 pound (3500 calories) in about a week.…
Of course, the example above was just for simplicity. You can cut any number of calories from your diet (more or less than the 500 in the example) and you can burn more or less than the example illustrates. As long as you are consistent, your deficit will “add up” over time…and you’ll slim down.
What a load of absolute rubbish. I guess these ‘experts’ haven’t even heard of the idea of the body responding to famine conditions.
