    Hi! I started JUDDD on Monday and I'm doing 2300 on up days and 500 on down days because this seems to work out at a reasonable and healthy amount on average for the week. I'm a little concerned that everyone seems to be having so little on their up days as I thought we were meant to be able to relax on these days? Obviously not relaxing to the point of over eating but you know what I mean :) Anyone got any input on this?

    I currently weigh 241 lbs by the way :)

    My numbers were close to yours when I started. Did you get them from Dr. Johnson's calculator? It's worked beautifully for me to follow them on BOTH days. I didn't get fat by having "normal" eating days, which is what you're encouraged to do on UDs. I have to/had to track UDs to make sure I wasn't taking in 3000 or more calories. Some people also don't have much of an appetite on UDs, after a nice low DD, and can undereat if they aren't tracking. The magic seems to be in the big swing, but not toooo big of a swing between the two days, if that makes sense. If you're able to eat well without overeating or taking in lots of extra calories, or conversely undereating, you could try being relaxed on UDs and just eating what you want.

    Keiras_Mom: The numbers from dr johnsons calculator were slightly below mine so I rounded them up. Unfortunately I also need to keep a close eye on what I eat on UP days because I could easily finish off 4000 calories if I didn't. I've come in 200-300 calories over on my UP days so far but the way I see it I've gone from eating a LOT more and it'll take a bit of time to get used to the new figures. I've lost 6lbs since Monday though so it seems to be working well so far! I think it just goes to show how much I must have been eating before!

    Well done on all the weight you have lost so far! I have around 100lbs to lose. How long has it taken you?

    Sounds like those numbers are working perfectly well for you. You may not need to lower them for quite some time!

    I started with low carb 10/24/11, and then switched to JUDDD 12/12/11. I hit 100 pounds lost 11/11/12, so it took me about 12 and 1/2 months. I was shooting for 100 pounds in a year, so I did pretty well all things considered. I'm currently at my original goal of 175 (I'm 5'9"), but I think I'd like to get closer to 160. At this point, though, I'm happy with where I am, and if it takes me another year to lose the next 15 pounds, I'm good with that.

    0 is fine for a dd but you should probably eat more than 1000 on UD. I noticed if you average your dd & ud they would be approx 1200 daily
