Maintaining diet help needed
I am now 72 years old, 6 foot tall, and since the middle of last April I
have reduced my weight from 275 to 188 pounds. I feel anything under 190 pounds would be a good 'maintaining weight, since my lowest weight during my young adult life, while doing extremely hard work, was 185 pounds. My blood pressure has also benefited since it went from 140/110 (previously spending $150 for 18 months of Lisinopril 'b/p pill') to the present 100/60. My current points total is 29. I started at 37. I seldom use more than 15 points per day. For the first 4 months I had a 'crash diet' attitude, and ate only when I could suffer it no more. And then I only ate salads. Some days I ate nothing at all. After that I began a regular single meal a day of 16 points. My problem is that if I use my full points I gain weight. I have no idea how to design and use a 'maintaining' regime, since I put on weight so easily. My tutor recommended I eat out twice a week and diet inbetween. Anyone else reach this dilemna? |
Maintaining diet help needed
first you need to reread your ww materials, then design a maintaince plan
for yourself. and if yu have been starving yourself you might gain at first because your body is trying to catch up, just figure out good foods and plan a menu then stick with it for two months to give it all a chance, then reevaluate, Lee -- Have a wonderful day "Pintlar" wrote in message ...
