Someone asked me this question earlier today, and I decided to share it, and my answer, because I think it could be helpful for others as well.
Q: How does one become overweight and need help losing if your problem is not being able to consume more than 900 calories per day? How did you become overweight?
A: From everything I have researched, and advise I have received from others... you have to consume calories to burn calories. By keeping your blood sugar at steady levels, keeps you in a fat burning mode. By NOT eating, and NOT consuming enough calories to keep my blood sugar level, my body was constantly in starvation mode. Therefore everything that I DID eat, my body clung to because it didn't know when the next meal was coming. It is a body's natural "self preservation response. I ate one meal a day, which in some circles is called the sumo wrestler diet. I would starve all day (thought I didn't feel it, because as I said I never felt hungry. This may be a physical freak of nature, but that's just how it is.) and this would bottom out my sugar, and throw me into starvation mode. Then I would eat dinner at around 6, spiking my sugar, and throwing my body into preservation mode. So now that I am eating steadily throughout the day, my sugars stay level and I am in constant fat burning mode. The catch 22 is this.. you can ALSO throw your body into starvation mode if you are eating all day long but not consuming an adequate number of calories. Most people do well consuming 1500 to 1800, but for me it is more like 1300, because I am pretty sedentary until I get a bit more weight off, and some of my health issues start going away. I do move around quite a bit, but I get short of breath easily, and I have trouble with my knees if I over do it. (all weight related) I found out the hard way that if I drop below 1300 I plateau, losing NOTHING! LOL I hope this helps you understand a bit more.
