newsgroups where they discuss the latest diet crazes. However I really

believe it is a matter of simple math. One must eat less to lose
weight.
How much you can eat and still lose depends on your activity level.
I've
been eating 1,500 calories in the form of three 500 calorie meals per
day.
It is working. Lost 3 lbs. this week, so I will continue. I'm very
interested in anyone else's diet experiences and I'm always looking for
low
cal recipes! Hope someone posts.

Isn't it interesting that this group is so dead? No one wants to hear
the
truth that one must eat less to lose weight. They are all busy trying
to
figure out ways around this fact! Lol No wonder so many Americans are

obese!


I count calories. I started my diet last October at 1200 per day. I
lost 29 poiunds and I am now at my right weight. I still count
calories because I don't want to gain it back. i now eat between 1800
and 1900 per day. I am very interested in low calorie cooking and low
calorie treats. I agree with you--it just comes down to the math. Eat
3200 calories less (or exercise more for some of the calories) and you
loose weight.

I've been counting calories for awhile now, and I agree with you all. I
also get on my tread mill, but in this heat(100f) I've found the last
few day's I've gained a few pounds, and I haven't eaten any more than I
usually do. I couldn't figure it out, til I relized my hands and feet
felt swelled and stiff. I thought I was drinking enough water, but I
guess not. I have gotten into a rut with what to cook so if anyone
wants to give me some recipes that don't cost an arm and a leg to buy
the ingredience, that would be great.
