Thanks Chris,
I'll try about 7 x bodyweight and see how that goes. That will have me eating about 1500 calories per day. To be quite honest this should be quite easy for me because I was really having to force myself to eat even 1800 a day, I was literally forcing myself to eat when I wasn't hungry just to keep the calories up to 1800 a day. It just didn't fell right to me!!! When I lost 40lbs a few years back I don't remember counting calories, I just ate until I was full. That seemed to do the trick for me then but I tried that this time for about 3 weeks and barely lost a pound (even on induction). Was considering doing the "Fat Fast" for a few days but I think I'll leave that for a last resort. Appreciate the advice. Danlo "c" wrote in message ... I've found that most of the time this "eat so many calories per pound" theory is incorrect. It might be proper to calculate calorie consumption based on your goal weight, but I found that if I eat even 8 calories per pound of bodyweight, I will gain weight. I am currently eating about 7-8 calories per pound of my goal weight, and I am losing weight quite steadily. If you eat the right foods, this is a lot of food to eat. Many days I am even below this level without being hungry. Try to maintain about 3-5% of your calories as carbs, 20% as protein, and the rest as fat. Too much protein can also cause issues. I've lost about 55 pounds in 5 months doing this, and this is without any regular exercise workout. Although, I have been very physically active this summer. As fall approaches, I suspect I will have to get back into my workout routine as time permits. Chris "Danlo" wrote in message ... Thanks for the reply. Accoring to various sources I'm allready eating too little!! I'm only eating on average 1700 calories per day. A man of my weight should be eating approx 2000 just to keep the basal metabolic processes running. I've tried eating more, eating less and doing some excercise. Any other ideas?

Hi everyone, I've been lurking in this group for a while now so I thought it was time to introduce myself. Im a 34 year old male 5'8" and currently weigh in at 214lbs I started Atkins about 3 years ago and had some considerable success having lost approximately 40 lbs over 8 months. I was reasonably happy with that loss and I balanced the diet so that I was maintaining that weight. Approximately a year ago I lost the path slightly and the pounds started to creep back on :-( So back to the present, I decided to go back on Induction about 2 months ago weighing 216lbs. Stuck to induction rigorously for 2 weeks and I lost about 1 pound if I was lucky (was in ketosis from about day 3). Have increased the carbs slightly by adding more vegetables and had one slight blow out when I had a few too many glasses of red wine. I'm essentially sticking to the diet that I done a few years ago but as you can see I've only lost 2lbs in 2 months. Ketostix are still purple and I'm drinking plenty water. I'm starting to get really frustrated about this now and considering packing it in. I logged about a weeks worth of my typical diet in fitday (minus the wine, only done that once in 2 months). http://www.fitday.com/WebFit/PublicJ...o%5Fthe%5Fwild As you can see I'm probably not eating my 10 x 214 calories per day although as an experiment I did eat about 2000 a day for 1 week and it didn't make any difference. I'd be really grateful for your expert advice on this.

What kind of exercise are you doing? Walking is fine, but if you really want to kick things up a notch or two, consider some form of resistance training - weight lifting at the gym would be the first best option, but some weights at home or just some bodyweight movements would be a big help. Do that in addition to walking. |
