Yup, I hate people who diet. Permanent weight loss is not a fucking diet, it's a lifestyle change. You are not dieting to cut weight to make weight for an MMA fight or some shit, you are changing habits in order to be normal sized. If your ideal calorie intake is 1800 calories a day to maintain, that's what it will be forever. You don't drop to that until the weight is lost and go back to eating like shit, that's not how it works.  Also, these idiots don't understand that the weight comes on faster initially when you go back to eating like shit because the calories required to maintain a 140lb body are less than that of a 300lb body,  so there's initially a HUGE surplus that gets stored as fat until they get fat again.
