Your BMR may still be 2000, you just aren't absorbing all 3-4000
calories that you eat. In other words your intestines are crappy
and you're pooping out half your calories. :)  Gut bacteria play
a huge role in how much nutrition/calories we absorb from our
food.  Comment Re:Computers as lawyers (Score 4, Insightful) 116
>Hmm, do "amicable partners" actually get divorced?  Sometimes
you don't hate the other person, you just realize that they
aren't who you want to spend the rest of your life with. Lots of
reasons for that - misjudging the other person from the start,
you misjudging yourself, or one or both of you changed
significantly during the relationship.  Even if you are angry,
that doesn't mean you're also spiteful and greedy; you may hate
the other partner but aren't trying to screw him/her over.  Of
course, those types of divorces don't make the news; they just
quietly happen.  C
