Is exercise taboo on this forum? This is the second post in less than a week talking about exercise not being needed for health .... you can't talk about eating how we were intended to and then in the next breath talk about not exercising which we were also intended to do. We are fully mobile creatures with exponential energy stores waiting to be used, so for gods sake ... use your body in the way it was intended!
Calorie restriction is not always key to losing weight ... you have to be careful not to enter a state of starvation due to lack of nutrients. Should this happen, you're body will utilize whatever muscle you have before it lets go of it's fat stores. You're 6lb loss was water, which is always the first big drop people experience when a shift in diet occurs, especially one where calories are deprived. Muscles are full of water, when you restrict calories, you lose muscle and the water that was in them as well ... I promise within a month, if you choose not to exercise, you will hit a huge wall and get frustrated and return to your old ways.
Feel free to eat, but EXERCISE ... in time you can even add a few more calories to supplement the loss of nutrients lost in exercise.
