Ok this is the second time I have wondered about this to help out this...well, second person.
I now know of two women, in their 30s, that eat maybe 2x a day, and are overweight.
Truth is, I can see their jobs being on their feet without a lot of 'down time,' so I I cant see how they ARENT burning more calories than they are taking in, yet they are overweight.
My immediate answer is that their bodies are in starvation mode. However, biologically I cant see this being possible. For instance, if they ate more, theyd lose weight?
They both walk/jog as well.
Please provide me with some education on this cuz they arent buying the "starvation mode" bit and quite frankly, its hard for me as well.
EDIT: Their meals are pretty small. Nothing that would exceed 2000 calories tops.
