What kind of recovery time am I looking at?
About 3-4 weeks ago, I was told I had diabetes for the first time. I contacted a dietician who said I should eat 60 carbs at Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner and 20 carbs for 3 snacks. I followed that for 3-4 weeks and didn't make note of calorie intake. Then I became very weak and had no energy, feeling like I could die at times.…

TDEE v. Calories Burned
I am not a careful counter of calories, to begin with, and I don't wear a HRM--I rely on the estimates from MFP, and I'm okay with that. When I started using MFP, I was merely trying to balance input and output for calories. While losing 5-10 pounds was fine by me, I find that I am continuing to lose weight at a rate of…

Advice on maintaining?
This is long, and sort of shameful. So, about August of last year, I decided to lose weight. I didn't do much research, and what little I did was largely ignored. I averaged about 800 calories a day. I would plateau, go lower, repeat ad infinitum. About June of this year, I upped to average 1000-1300 and added more…
