Any physical pleasure pursued without an interval of suffering cannot remain pleasurable. <br /><br />For that very reason, hunger is dangerous to dieting. While it is true that simpler fare eaten while hungry is more delicious than haut cuisine consumed when full, it is easy for hunger to get completely out of control. <br /><br />Your calculations about calories were interesting. However, the idea of going hungry for any length of time turns out to be a bad strategy for losing weight. The metabolism slows way down as the body tries to conserve the very fat you are trying to lose. We are built to survive the constant threat and reality of famine. Not letting yourself get too hungry appears to be an important goal in losing weight.Laurence K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10345295173354668208noreply@blogger.com
