Quote, Paraphrase, and Citation #5

"When your calories expended is higher than the calories consumed you will lose weight. If you eat too little you will not have the energy to exercise and will wind up thin and still flabby. Then when you cease depriving yourself (which always happens) your weight will increase again and, since your body has adopted a lower metabolic rate you will gain weight back quickly."

In this quote, they were trying to say that to lose weight you have to burn off more calories than you are taking in, but if you do not consume enough calories you will still gain weight in the long run. Because you will began to slow down your metabolic rate causing the weight to come back faster than it had been sheded off. This relates to my topic because it shows that calories can be the enemy not because you eat too much of it but because you do not eat enough of it.
