Thoughts on my weight loss

Thoughts about weight loss

Loss of weight is due to an
out-go of calories
greater than the
in-put of calories.

Calorie out-go
is dependent on
resting burn rate and
exercising burn rate.

Calorie in-put
is dependent on
quantity of food consumed &
quality of food consumed.

Thoughts about hunger:

Hunger is a secondary variable
Which is not directly related to weight loss.
You can lose weight & be hungry
You can be hungry & not lose weight.

Hunger may increase or decrease
With the change in quantity or quality of food consumed.
Hunger may indicate a biological need to consume food, or
Hunger may indicate a non-biological need to consume food.

Hunger itself does not increase calorie in-puts.
Hunger itself does not decrease calorie in-puts.
Hunger may only increase the desire for food
and thus indirectly effect calorie in-puts.

Control of hunger is optional
Control of calorie inputs is not.

Summary:
Based on this declaration
Weight loss can occur
Based control of a single variable:
Calorie in-puts.

Conclusion:
I lost weight on the first phase of my diet
because I was able to reduce my calorie in-puts.
