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 am on Jenny Craig at 1500 calories. I lost 30 lbs with them, went off the band wagon, but back on now and am going to lose the 100 more i need to lose.

I too am watching my calorie count with eating only 1000 calories per day and I started walking ... still pretty slow at that but will build it up as I go ... I have lost 11 lbs. in 10 days this way ... I definately think that this is the way to lose and my drs. say that as long as I keep this up the weight will continue to fall off in the same way that it has so far ... I mainly make up my own recipes for the foods that I eat and I stay away from red meat altogether, except for occasionally ground beef ... I have considered having one of the weight loss surgeries but have no insurance right now and thought I might as well get started now ... not sure now about the surgery ... guess it depends on how the next few months go ... good luck to you and I will definately post more if you want!

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.

Hippie Mama
Take 2 teaspoons of Apple Cider Vinegar 3 times per day, preferably right before meals ... it will help with the water weight gain ... and it will allow you to lose 1 1/2 lbs per week just on a regular basis ... let me know how it works if you try it!!!

Default 1500 Calories Per Day

Dan:

I just found this newsgroup today and I certainly agree with you - that
the only way to lose weight is burn more than you eat. It's simple math.
When I finally made a real effort to lose weight, I restricted my
calorie intact (wrote down everything I ate) and bought frozen meals
like Lean Cuisine to help me control the calories and portions. I lost
25 pounds. I allowed myself one cheat day a week - I called it Fat
Friday and ate anything I wanted.

I did find some great recipes - if you google low calorie recipes you
should be able to find loads.

I completely agree with all of you at the end of the day you need to burn more then you consume to drop those inches!

I've always found it interesting that diets get marketed in different ways but the majority still cut approx. 500 cal/day. For example LA weightloss works its a great program I lost 25 pounds with it in under 3 months. It was broken down to a certain amount of startches/protein/veg/fat/dairy/fruit per day but in the end of the day the calorie count was always low no matter what you ate!

anyway one suggestion on how to eat a full meal that healthy is to try vegatarian cooking. Esepeically low-fat vegetarian cooking (Moosewood Restauran Low-Fat Favorites Cookbook is GREAT!) for example most muffins are so fatty/sugary and not filling at all! They have a recipe that are some of yummiest moistest muffins I've ever had and are super healthy!

PUMPKLIN OAT MUFFINS

1 1/4 cups unbleached white flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup rolled oats
1 egg
1 egg white
3/4 cup pumpkin, winter squash or sweet potato puree (baby food works great)
3/4 cup evaporated skimmed milk
1/2 cup unsweetened pinapple juice
2 tablespoons canola or veg oil
1/4 cup brown sugar
4 to 5 tablespoons apricot preserves (low sugar)

preheat oven to 400 degree. spray or line muffins tins

in a large bowl combine flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, oats. In another bowl combine whole egg, egg white, pumpkin, evap milk, pinapple juice, oil, brown sugar. Fold wet ingredients into dry.

spoon batter into muffin tins dot center of each muffin with preserves. Bake 20-25 minutes

Per 3oz serving, approx 1 muffin: 170 cal, 5.4 g Protein, 3.9 g fat, 28.9 carbs, 0.7g saturated, 1.8g polysaturate, 1.1g monosaturated, 23 mg cholestoral, 200 mg sodium, 1.8g fiber
