Being a realist here....your lungs need approx. 500 CALORIES A DAY just to perform their function - breathing!! If you smoke (anything inhaled by the lungs), exercise daily, are medically overweight or are under any type of stress...the lungs NEED more calories just to help you breathe!!

I have COPD and I'm overweight, so my breathing function is seriously impared and I must consume more calories - just . to . breathe . every . single . day!!

78.0 kg Lost so far: 8.8 kg.    Still to go: 0.9 kg.    Diet followed: 100%.
