Back to the 1500-calorie diet...

Here I am again wondering how I'm going to shed those 11 extra pounds.
My weight has been fluctuating from 180 to 184 for a few months. My
goal is 170. I've decided to go back to the 1500-calorie diet. I write
down everything I eat with the number of calories.

It's now 1:30PM, and so are I've taken in 1150 calories. Only 350
calories left for the day! I have to be careful with I eat. I feel
like having tortillas right now... Let's forget about it for today. I
might have them tomorrow, but I will ensure I don't spend most of my
"1500-calorie budget" on them. It's easy for me to go overboard and
eat the whole bag at once which amounts to a few thousands of calories.

Jillian Michaels says sometimes when you have those last few pounds to
lose, sometimes you have to have a higher calorie day because your
body holds onto those last, she calls them vanity pounds, so try that
and see if that helps. Good luck.

Thanks for your support. I finished my day with two glasses of natural
grapefruit juice. Only 180 calories. That juice is one of the best
ways to do away with hunger.

Today I took in 1600 calories. Even though I was hungry at times, I
enjoyed my food even more. It seems that the least of something you
have, the more you appreciate it. A co-worker offered me a fee
dougnot, the one I love most, the Boston Cream. I declined. I told him
that my goal of becoming slim is my number one priority.

I've decided to have some tortillas with hot salsa for snack tomorrow
afternoon. This time I won't have the whole bag (about 2000 calories
in all with the salsa), but just a few for a total of 250 calories. As
long as I limit myself to 1500 calories, that's all that matters to me.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. If I had drank just two glasses of juice for dinner
the sugar would have had me looking for food within an hour.

If I had 350 calories left I would have opted for:

extra lean ground beef patty (4oz before cooking)
large slice of onion cooked
sliced yellow summer squash (2 cups before cooking)
a pat of butter

All for 339 calories.

Hello all

I have been working to lose weight for the past year now. Things have been up and down with my diet - at times encouraging, discouraging at others. You all know what I am going through! Over the last year I have really tried to stay on the path - eating right, exercising religiously almost every day, and still I hit plateaus that I just don't understand how it can be scientifically possible!

I have never been one to use a diet pill. But then I found out about this all-natural supplement called "EXTREME LIFEFORCE" from Extreme Kinetic (http://www.extremekinetic.com). It is an all-natural supplement that contains no stimulants, and that helps in terms of burning stored body fat for those that have at least 15% body fat or more. It gives you extra energy, helps suppress your appetite and gives you the additional nutrients that your body might be lacking due to your diet.

The results I have seen while taking this product have been absolutely amazing! Even on days when I "slack off" a little bit or indulge, I still continue to see good results. This is something that I couldn't do before over the last year. One indulgence it seemed would put me 5 steps backwards!

You can check out the product at the following link:
https://www.extremekineticonline.net...lifeforce.html

It is a very cost effective product - less than $20 a bottle, and they also offer free samples that you can request through their website.

I just received an email about a special offer they have for 30% OFF your order for new customers, so that is why I thought I would share this with you.

The coupon code for 30% OFF your order is AUG2008.

I HIGHLY recommend checking out this product! Like I said, it is simply an all-natural supplement, but it works wonders!

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me....

Good luck and Take Care!

And the sugar is boss, not you.

Really?

You include a ``pat'' of butter, and quantities of other things
measured to the precision of a single digit, yet can still quote a
final calorie count precise to three significant figures?

Amazing!

Exactly. This is the single greatest advantage that low carbing
has - For people who do get cravings based on carb intake
this effect goes away. In your case since you don't appear to
get these cravings you don't appear to believe they happen - It
appears that you think that everyone is exactly like you and if
it doesn't happen with you it doesn't happen with anyone.

On ASLDC you recently posted that you eat rice 3 meals a day.
For me and others who low carb because low fat left us forever
hungry, doing that would trigger endless nagging hunger beyond
what we can ignore. You're aware of that, right? Clearly you
are not. This lack of sympathy is why you are a troll on that
group.

A pat of butter is a very exact and well known amount. Yet
another bit pointing to your trolling habits.

Sigh. So many folks don't understand simple math like the
number of significant digits in measurements. A sum of
1 digit ingredients yields a 1 digit total. About the best
such a summation can get is 300 or 350 or 400 without a
good certainty of which.

But the thing is - No matter how approximate counting
calories or fat grams or carb grams or protein grams is,
and no matter the fact that folks have counts that *far*
exceed the accuracy of their ingredients in this manner,
it all still *works*.

Even though a daily count may be off by 100 calories or
10 carb grams or 10 fat grams or whatever, the fact that
"a calorie is a calorie is a calorie" is false and the fact of
metabolic adjustment to eliminate small changes in intake
makes these uncertainties irrelevant. Plans that require a
specific calorie or carb or fat count work no matter that
the numbers aren't exact, because metabolism handles
the inexactness.

There's another reason why these counts work just fine -
Someone who tends to underestimate a count once will
tend to underestimate all of their counts by an amount
similar enough that it ends up a systematic bias. If
targetting 1800 calories doesn't work for the undetected
reason that the real amounts are hovering near 2000, then
the dieter tries to adjust to 1700 with undetected real
amounts that hover near 1900 and it starts working for
therm. People adjust to make stuff work, and that in the
end covers for systematic bias.
