Yeah, I've been harranged on these message forums for not eating enough calories. Yet I stall when I eat more calories. Then there's the whole "refeed" thing. Nothing makes me grit my teeth more than someone jumping into a conversation about doing low-calorie/low-carb and saying we're all wrong, we should be eating more calories and consuming masses of carbs once a week.

My body is pretty well convinced that in order to lose weight I have to eat fewer calories. I don't think you can reason with a fat cell or your body's metabolic processes.
