Default Day 10 of 100 Day Diet -- still 7 pounds gone

250/243/200
Day 10 of 100 Day Diet

I got on my scales this morning and saw that still 243 pounds were
gone. Actually, my indicator probably would have gone somewhat higher,
had I allowed it to move. But I know that if I continue to maintain a
low calorie intake, I will lose weight, unless the laws of physics are
suspended in my part of the world. And they are not.
Just as putting on extra weight takes time, so does taking weight off.
Also, it helps not to be misled by approaches that do not work, by
pipe-dream ideas.
My left foot hurts a bit today because of tendinitis so I'm going to
skip my evening walk.
At 8 pm, I have had 800 calories and that will be it for tonight,
unless someone breaks into the house and forces me to eat more
calories. Ain’t gonna happen.
I hope everyone finds a diet approach that works! And keeps at it long
enough for it to be effective!

Yours,

Caleb

800 calories sounds awfully low. What is your daily metabolic rate
(you can rough it out using various charts)?

I'd say if you're reducing your diet by more than 1/2, should consult
a medical professional, not just for your own safety, but to confirm
that your diet will be as effective as possible, and as healthy as
possible. Remember, Rome wasn't built in a day, and it wasn't
destroyed in one, either. Moderate deficits are more effective in the
long-run for a lot of reasons, and they also leave you a little less
cranky.


But way to go!

Its way low, his body is going to go into starvation mode, but he
isn't likely to listen.

On that day -- I'm not sure. probably rice and veggies. 800 might be a
bit low, but what is too low as an average? Mark Mattson,
neuropsychologist, determines that eating every other day confers
resistance to brain damage in mice and rats.

Seems to me that "requirement" that some people seem to believe was
God-given to eat a certain number of calories a day has led too, too
many people to overeat and to maintain their unhealthy weight. "You're
too skinny! Eat! Keep your strength up!"

Nonsense view!

Also, maybe 800 is low for for some -- and maybe for me too if I was
going for a long hike. But then again, no one has to follow it. People
come in different sizes, needs, capabilities, etc.

Yours,

Caleb

Thanks! My doc said fine! She wants me to be at less risk for gout,
hypertension, etc. Makes sense to me.

For me a more moderate weight loss leads to less task focus. As Rosie
used to say here, "Your mileage may vary!" That is, we have to
discover what works for us.

Yours,

Caleb
