Question for the those that eat more to loose weight.

cinico

I really want the eating more approach to work for me!! I have slowly been increasing my intake over the past several weeks and I found that my weight has also increased!! I always read that the scale will go up at first, but when does it stop? :embarassed:

So for those who did increase calories how long was it before you body said oh ok I am getting more fuel so now I can drop the weight? I am scared of increasing even more!!

For me 4 weeks...

I only had to eat more for about 3 to 4 days before the weight began dropping. I was eating 1200 calories a day, and I stayed hungry all the time, plus I had stopped losing and was hitting plateaus for 3 to 4 weeks straight. Once I started eating 1350 to 1450 a day, for 3 or 4 days I went up and then stayed a day or so then it started dropping really fast and has been consistently dropping every week. I know it is hard but hang in there and you will find what works best for your body because everyone is different.

I've always ate a lot so I can't really answer. But my weight loss has been slow. The scale won't move for like 2 weeks, then go down 2 or 3 pounds. So it IS almost a pound a week but it doesn't happen linearly.

It took two or three weeks for me. I was getting a bit nervous and then got on the scale and had dropped back down.

I'm going to go ahead and bump this for you. I know there are more of us who like to eat!
