Let me tell you, when you work in medicine and see how different chemicals effect each body differently, you’ll wake up.

And some people's bdies react so differetly to normal amounts of food that dieting rules are useless to them. I have the misfortune of being one of them.

A few years ago I was thinking of starting yet another dieting attempt, but this time I decided to track my calories for a few days before starting the diet, just to be sure I was actually cutting calories. I've never been able to lose by dieting, I always gained no matter how closely I followed the diet plan. Imagine my shock when my normal calorie intake turned out to be around 1000 a day! I spent 2 weeks recounting my calorie intake every day because I couldn't believe that number, I figured it had to be a mistake somewhere. But, no, that's just how lightly I eat.

And that is when I gave up on dieting. I'll eat real food and forget about the numbers!

If I don't get 2400 to 3000 calories a day, I dry up and blow away. And I've never seen 150lbs in my life.

Folks are different. When I cook for people, I cook for each one. Because they are all different.

It’s not just you.

At 23, doctors think Lizzie Velasquez has a form of the rare neonatal progeroid syndrome, which accelerates her aging and makes it almost impossible to gain weight. Blind in one eye, indeed, she does have to eat between 5,000 and 8,000 calories a day, and has never been more than 62 pounds, according to reports.

People survived Death Camps because they were able to survive on minimal calories. That’s it plain and simple.
