    Okay
    many thanks to all of you guys providing me your experience...
    I am a bit confused right now
    some of you advise me to remain on 1300 calorie diet and some of you suggest sth around 1600!

    It is good to mentioned that
    right now I am 175 Ib and my goal is 160 Ib

    Also, I used to go to the gym and I have around 10 Ib more muscle than a normal guy.
    but, I don't exercise at all right now

    So, How much calorie is good for me?
    and I have another question, how much is the max amount of food to eat in 1 meal !? right now, I try to don't go over 400 calorie.

    Who knew you picked up diabetes from eating a protein bar.
    MFP saves the day again.

    A lot of them have quite a bit of sugar in them. like upwards of 30 grams....if I had all that at once and then also bothered to eat anything else in the day, my sugars would be through the roof. Unfortunately because I tend to have higher blood sugar but am also trying to make my body convince some nice doctors that I'm NOT going to get diabetes so they'll let me donate a kidney, I have to be uber careful about how much I have even beyond cutting added sugar. Even fruit is no longer my friend. :(

    I would look at my previous post on the first page as it's broken out for you.

    But there is no correlation between sugar and diabetes, unless a medical condition is the reason you have high blood sugar. But for the rest of us, sugar isnt' an issue.

    I am 5.75
    but, I really cannot eat more than 1300 on healthy diet.
    I don't know why !

    What a load of bull-ploppers! I eat a little over 1500 calories a day and I eat low-carb! If I can do it, you can eat WAY MORE than what you're eating now. Don't be afraid of fat, which can help bulk your calories up and is needed for a body to function normally.

    You ARE loosing weight if you eat the 1300 calories a day. Sometimes due to water weight fluctuating you can have as much as a 6 pound shift in weight and actually not have lost tissue. So just keep doing what you are doing. I help people loose weight as a job and I have seen people stay at the same weight on a scale for 3 weeks and then BOOM, the water sheds and they drop 6 pounds overnight. So Just keep doing what you are doing. You ARE losing weight, I repeat you are LOSING. Just let your body do its thing. Keep with the 1300 calories and you are loosing.

    interesting!
    today morning. I was 172.6 Ib!!
    I lost again :D

    Do you have any idea about my questions in my previous post?

    True story. For myself, my high fasting blood sugar levels indicate that I have reduced glucose tolerance...due to the nature of this site and the fact that there's probably a good number of users who are obese and in particular happen to carry a lot of weight around the middle, there's probably a lot more people here who have insulin resistance than are even aware of it, unfortunately.

    of course you can. you just have to actually take some time to research what calorie dense/healthy foods there are that you would like. I have trouble getting enough calories so I tend to go for the ''good fats'' stuff like hummus or nuts to bulk up on those a bit. I also usually keep a few protein bars on hand so if I'm really low by the end of the day I can have one of those (the kind with minimal sugar...I would rather not pick up diabetes along the way)

    1300 is too little. That's why. Eat more. It sounds counter-intuitive, but I'm telling you that you're doing it wrong. That's why you stopped losing. I'm the same size as you, 5' 11, 180, and I maintain on 3000 a day. Lol. You can easily eat more than 1300. Thats girly-man calories. You stopped losing because you need to feed your body for it to release. It's hanging on right now. It thinks you are starving or going into a famine (NOT starvation mode -calm down people).

    ^yeah.

    I'm 5'3" and a 22-year-old female and the OP only eats 90 calories more per day than I do (and I'm under doctor supervision to eat 1210 calories per day). I'm no professional, but that doesn't sound healthy.
