I appreciate that losing weight is difficult, but if you are that heavy…not losing weight on 1,000 calories a day…I have to call you on that.
Unless your new doc is an endocrinologist, and they are waiting a paper on you…your numbers don’t work. From a pure physics point of view, moving that much weight throughout a day takes at least 2,400 calories to just maintain. No one’s body is as efficient as you write.
Got it documented. Back when I was 30 I had to go down to 900 calories a day to lose 25 pounds in 6 months. Was on a plan that provided the food - Nutra System - and ate nothing out of the plan. My wife works with me - we are literally a mom and pop shop - and she sees EVERYTHING I eat. I have kept food diaries, weighed and measured everything I ate, I log my exercise. It seems that my burn-calories-by-existing count is in the 500 to 600 calories a day instead of the around 2000 it should be. My body temp is 95 to 96 degrees, all the time. My insurance will not pay for an endocrinologist for "weight loss".
As an aside, I have wicked bad sleep apnea. My CPAP gets me down to 5 to 10 instances per hour, but without it I am over 90 instances per hour. My respiration drops to about 10 to 12 per hour while sleeping, a little low. My apena is a combination of obstructive and central (neurological). When I was on the amphetamine my apena (with CPAP) dropped to about 3 instances per hour. No one can explain it.
