If you dont eat enough then your body will not only hold onto fat because it thinks it starving, but you will LOSE MUSCLE because that is mainly what your body is living off of if it thinks its starving. My doctor told me that, plus I looked it up. Im not saying its 100% true, but its the best explaination.
As for gastric bypass surgery, they lose "so much weight" because they are losing muscle too. That is of course unless they are doing strength training or lifting weights.

It all comes down to, make sure y'all eat enough, I wouldnt suggest going under 1000 calories a day. The main thing is exersise!

Keep up the good work everyone
