evileen99evileen99….ok, thanks for telling me about it.

pootle1972pootle1972… why do people do that? I am serious about weight loss.. thanks for replying.

SMA1986SMA1986… I can't seem to lose no matter what I try. I may lose 1 lb, then it comes back the next day.
I just had an ultra sound done on my thyroid gland, waiting for results. It is so nice to hear that you lost 25lbs. I thought if you were told 1200calories, you had to stay at that. Now I know it is ok, to do less. Thanks for letting me know that.

I know that you are not suppose to go below 1200 calories, but I read that I should do 1100 calories, due to diabetes2 and weight loss. I was told that you still 'can get' all your nutrients on 1100cal… like to hear other opinions. thanks

check out nutionfacts.org this website is ran by Dr. Michael Greger. He also has a book called " How not to Die"

I've been doing the 1200 calorie diet for 11 months. I get more of my nutrients now then I did before. I do keep carbs somewhere between 80 and 100 because I feel icky when I get a lot of carbs (bloating). I eat very nutrient dense foods. I've had no mood changes or tiredness and I'm not usually hungry. Sometimes I'm around 1100 sometimes I'm above 1200. It seems to be working because I've lost over 25 pounds. This is all without exercise.

You know the bloating could be caused by the fiber in the carbohydrates. When your body is not used to high amounts of fiber it will cause bloating and gas.

My calorie intake is around 1200 a day based off my weight . Most of the time I have calories left if I think I'm stuck at weight I don't like I go ahead and do the military diet and I'm able to keep it off I'm down 12 pounds already but want to lose 43 more so I can be a bit more healthier I do the three healthy meals with two snack at only or less then 100 calories

You know there is such thing as a set weight. Your body will go back to a certain weight no matter what. I will recommend not stressing about it and give it time! check out nutrionfacts.org it will make your losing weight and life much easier.

I try staying away from fruits, due to the carbs and the sugar. I am now trying no sugar fruit. I have never been much of a fruit eater. I just had blood work and was told that my sugar is high, so I have to watch sugars and carbs.

Your brain runs on exclusively on glucose. do a quick google and you will realize it is very common knowledge. A lot of the times when you have high sugar it is not because of the sugar but the fat. It could also be added sugars. Sugar from whole foods are different from added sugars.
