I did not mean literally starving, I meant giving the body fewer calories than it wants.

I feel like discussions like this attract a number of people who've never actually been overweight and then lost the weight and tried to keep it off longer than a year. So much bro science, so much condescension, so much smug analysis that anybody who cannot resist their own body's hunger indefinitely are just weak.

A bit more complicated than that, CICO is not the answer. It's an observation, not a strategy.
