Sort of frustrated again...should I make any changes?
same total weekly calories, just distribute them differently:
daily calories times seven, then you have the total, 2 very high calorie days, then the rest divided equally, Lee Doug Lerner wrote in message ... On 11/29/05 5:40 PM, in article , "Tayra" wrote: My thought would be that your metabolism's adjusted to your standard intake. I've heard of several people who, on the Flex plan, would use 5 points every day of the week, making every day the same point value (and thus approximately the same calorie value, to within 50 calories or so). But this is a constant rate, and as such, lulls your body into a routine that it gets comfortable with. So, they were doing everything exactly right, technically, but after four or five months, their loss would stall out. Which sounds similar to your case. I'd say, three days a week, consecutively, go up to 2000 calories from your regular 1500. That will get your metabolism running higher to deal with the extra intake, and then when you cut back down for the next four days, it'll keep on keepin' on, and you'll (hopefully) burn off more fat, just in time for it to start slowing back down again, just in time for you to rev it back up again. So that's my two cents. Which is like two and a half yen, which makes it sound at least a little better The yen is dropping in value, isn't it? I'm glad my salary is paid in dollars! Thanks for your suggestion. I've heard that theory too. I don't know what to believe though. Half the people here say lower my calories. The other half say to increase it. That averages out to not changing anything at all. Anyway, I'm not going to change anything this week and see how things go up until Friday again and then possibly rethink... doug |

I guess that we ARE all very differant as Doug & Chris have differant
ways than I have.I tried MANY times to count cals and I did Atkins diet plus South beach but I'm now back to what works for me! I will struggle FOREVER with weight issues but although I've gained through these past few years I'm still lower than several years ago which was 269+ and I'm with about 25 LBS to lose before I'm in my size 12s again. glo |
