You know, it's kind of a relief to hear this, since counting calories for less than 1600 calories/day was driving me nuts and it wasn't doing a thing!
I have a feeling I may have put my body into starvation mode. Last summer, I was eating only strawberries and raspsberries and I lost weight. Then, all of a sudden, I started getting acid reflux and when I began to eat a little more, I gained weight. It was very puzzling since I didn't even eat a huge amount. I'm going to try this 2500+ calories/day thing now, but I'm a little concerned it might make me gain. I'll see how it goes.
