This is going to be a quick post. Nothing groundbreaking here, but there are some I-don't-care-what-the-Latin-phrase-is debate tactics that creep into too many of the discussions on eating disorders from all sides. One such tactic is to accuse me, and others, of blaming the paleo diet or saying it causes eating disorders. I didn't do that.
A scenario:
You look in the mirror one day and don't like what you see. Where did this gut come from? Step on the scale, 10 lbs since a year ago! Yikes!! New Year's Resolution: Lose 10 lbs. The approach you choose is a standard one: Establish a calorie deficit of 500-1000 cal/day , mostly calorie counting but adding a 40 min-1 hr walk 5 days a week. Before you know it the pants are less snug, the belt tightened not just one but two notches. Feeling good ... looking good! Goal reached. Hey, maybe I'll look and feel even better if I lose 5 more pounds! Step on scale after a week. No loss. Another week. No loss. Still one more week. No loss.
