No, I know why.

Oh, here we go again with the thing about you know how to lose weight you
just don't feel like it right now.

That's the ticket.

I am losing weight. When I get down to a certain weight, (between 145
and 150 depending on time of day), I reach the hunger threshold. I
can't lose any more without being constantly hungry, and after a few
weeks of that I give in and eat more.

Could it be that you eat too much sugar?

I know if I could stick it out long enough I'd most likely get used to
it, but the dizziness and weakness interfere with my life to the point
where it doesn't seem worth it.

It happens mostly after working out. On maintenance calories a workout
leaves me feeling energized and strong, and on less than that I leave
feeling weak and sick.

I believe there is a way to eat enough to get by and yet eat little
enough to lose weight, I just haven't found it yet.

It's called a low carb diet. Maybe you'll figure it out some day.

Thanks. For a mathematician, you're kind of arbitrary with numbers.

Quoted message said:

Anyway, hard cheeses like aged cheddar are low carb because you can eat a
considerable amount without a high carb count. With soft cheeses you can
only eat a little bit or the carb count climbs too high, therefore they are
not low carb.

The difference in carb content between cream cheese and and cheddar
is insignificant (0.6 grams of carb difference per serving, to be
exact). Cottage cheese, or ricotta cheese, and cheddar? Sure, big
difference. But not between cream cheese and cheddar.

That's why people communicate. So they can understand each other.
Give it a try.

Quoted message said:

Ask me why.

Your standard of what is "low carb" doesn't seem to have any sort of
objective gold standard attached to it. Again, for a mathematician, you
seem to adamant about being vague.

How about this. Try it with numbers. What numerical threshold of carb
content does a serving of (insert food here) have to be under for you
to consider it "low carb"?

JC, you don't seem to have a consistent standard of what is "low

Best I can figure, you seem to be arbitrarily declaring certain foods
"not low carb", even if the carb count per serving is less than a
gram... for example, you just declared cream cheese as being "not low
carb," even though a 2 tablespoon serving generally has less than 0.8
grams of carbs per serving...
