    Likewise, if you try to lose weight, millions of years of conditioning kick in. Your body thinks its starving to death and acts accordingly.

      You’re right. Though each time I try to go in calorie deficit I can see that first few days feel awful and then suddenly my body is able to be content with 500 calorie deficit easily for months until I indulge again for day 2-3 days. Almost as if it accepts the fate until more food is available.
