In my message (4819) I did not suggest you stop eating altogether as you said in message 4849:
"So, Bert, you are suggesting that the best and fastest way for me to lose weight is to stop eating altogether."
What I wrote (in message 4819), was:
"So how much [energy] do you need to take in? None."
and later in the same post:
"Let your body determine your calorie intake by respecting and following your appetite, whether it's 0 or 600 or 1400 or even the 2000+ calories a day."
If appetite is zero, then the two are not contradictory. Nor is it contradictory to have a need and adopt a plan that is more comfortable than what is essential to meet that need. I thought it was evident that doing what one needs to survive and choosing a plan that is comfortable, convenient and sustainable are not necessarily the same thing and are usually quite different.
Further, from your subsequent posts, it looked like you had found a successful approach, so no further comment on my part seemed helpful or necessary.
Best wishes,
Bert
