>As someone with insulin resistance, I support this message. Currently in a plateau myself that's causing the scale to creep up so obviously calorie deficit clearly isn't enough for me, especially as a larger person.
If the scale is creeping up then you aren't in a calorie deficit 
>Bruh I'm eating 1100 cals a day and working out 3x a week, and it took me 4 months to lose 4lbs and I've gained back 2 like what is this shit 😭
Probably didn't include the Starbucks drinks and weekly "cheat day" into the equation 
>Thanks for saying this. I'm so sick of people claiming that as long as calories in are less than claories out you will lose weight. It's just not true because the PCOS adapts and decides how many calories our mitochodria are goinig to burn but we're still expected to function at 100% even if our brains are in the process of switching themselves off from a lack of calories and nutrients.
Ah yes, brain switch themselves off the second you aren't consuming over 3000 calories a day.

Half of them are admitting in the thread that the meds helped them control their eating which actually resulted in them losing weight.
Just get through the first step b-word. Just tell the doctor and your therapist and your life coach and your skinniest friends that you're having a difficult time with portions even with the meds. And then shoot them if they say there's nothing to be done.

I don't mind if people use meds to lose weight, but the ones that do and then claim that calories in/out doesn't make you lose weight drive me up a wall

The thyroid stuff and PCOS to a degree are actually real, but getting treated should be it. If the meds don't work, then they're either not working or it's behavioral.
From there though I do feel bad for them a little because medical doctors are so tired and jaded and won't push as hard as they should. And more than half of mental health treatment, especially for foids, is criminally shit that doesn't hold people accountable. Their hugbox isn't just on reddit.

There are variances to metabolism with many contributing factors, but there is a limit to those differences. Fatties love to use the fact of different metabolic rates existing to shift all blame from their habits and lifestyle to something out of their control.
An inactive skinny short woman might maintain their weight at 1200 calories a day. A very active athletic muscular man might maintain their weight at 3000 calories a day. No adult human can eat 1000 calories a day, move at all, and get fat.
