Losing extra pounds is always a struggle but no more so than if you choose to starve yourself. Studies have shown that you must eat and eat well for real lasting weight loss and weight management.
Your individual basal metabolic rate - the way your body turns food into energy - is unique to you. Some folks naturally have a fast metabolism and have little to no trouble losing weight. Others, while they may have been born with a powerful engine, may have damaged theirs with years of starvation dieting without realizing it. This is most likely the reason they have trouble shedding pounds now and not a naturally slow metabolism.
Recent studies have shown that your metabolic rate is not a fixed entity, but a variable. Starvation diets can alter your fat-burning capacity in a negative way.
