Oh my god thank you guys, I have always eaten fewer to try and lose weight and always struggled!!!!! I will definitely try a few more and see what happens! Thank you
Please just remember that when you eat more grams of food you naturally store more waste in your bowels and water from sodium, don't freak out if you gain a pound or two according to your scale, it is not body fat and it is temporary.
Also don't listen to the crazy carb lady, the only thing you lose from carb restriction is water weight.0 -
one key is to NOT EAT ANY CARBS after 3 pm.
I'm glad that that works for you. I stop eating carbs only when I'm sound asleep and that's usually about 1:00 AM. I've lost 51 pounds and have maintained my goal weight for over a year now.
There is truly no one way for everyone. OP, the other advice you've been given by other posters is very solid.0 -
You have to be sure you're eating enough protein as well.
It also sounds like you're doing a fair amount of exercise and those days require you to eat more food.
I lost 32lbs in 6 weeks and one key is to NOT EAT ANY CARBS after 3 pm.
If you have a late night craving, air popped popcorn is a great, fiber filled, filling snack.
The Dairy Queen fat free sugar free fudge bars are only 60 calories and have 6 grams of fiber. They are a very
satisfying snack without the guilt. Good luck!
You tell porkie pie lies. Eating carbs after 3pm will not affect weight loss in the slightest. Sigh.....0 -
IMAGINE life if you couldn't eat any carbs after 3pm.
Days out and dinner dates would be impossible!!0 -

Stop it... You're spreading false info! There's no reason whatsoever that he/she should not eat carbs after 3 pm. I guarantee you that this is not why you lost 32 lbs!!0 -

The advice above about eating more is great (: Don't forget to keep hydrated too though, drink 8 glasses of water a day and more if you are exercising hard, it can help with weightloss and keeps you healthy (:0

I really feel like I'm having a similar issue. I started exercising 3-4 times per week, including either jogging/walking 30-50min, bike riding, swimming, or just walking. This was at the beginning of June. Since then, I've also been regularly tracking my calorie intake. I am almost always under my intake (1510), unless I exercise, then I sometimes eat more to compensate. I have some days I go over (net) too, so Idk what is going on. My husband thinks it might be my metabolism has slowed down since I am not working right now, so when I'm not working out, I'm usually pretty stationary (computer, tv, lounging outside).
I don't understand what I'm missing. I drink plenty of water most days. But for someone weight in the 230's, I really feel like I should be losing more weight, more quickly. So far I've lost 6lbs since early June, but then the scale says I've gained back 4. Sigh. This is why I usually give up.
