    I shoot for 1100-1300 net calories per day, limit the bad carbs and eat lots of fiber!

    I follow this site

    http://www.fit2fat2fit.com/

    Hes got a great plan and some good food ideas. Every morning I make a spinach shake and take vitamins. I drink tons of water and follow his exercise program. I dont really follow his food plan but I use MFP to do that for me. So far Ive been doing this for 45 days and lost 29.4 pounds which averages to 4.5 pounds a week. You should check it out its got great stuff on it.


    I've been thinking about incorporating jucing. Just watched Sick, Fat and Nearly Dead. That was interesting to say the least. What have you seen as your challenges? Do you only do it in the morning or all day?

    Hey everyone!
    I follow MFP guidlines that they set for me, but I also use Shakeology every morning, then I work out 2x a day to TurboFire and Insanity. My goal is to lose approx.45lbs in the next 15 months. Well I would like to lose it faster then that but I can be patient.LOL
    I hope everyone has a great day!!!

    Can I ask what is Shakeology??

    If you google it, you can find it there...it's a healty shake that has all these veggies and one shot of wheat grass...kinda nasty...but if you mis it with fruits too and almond milk...it's also on the procy side!...

    My really "complicated" program is eat less, move more! Seriously, that's all I've done and I've lost 30 pounds in 3 months.

    I started out with cutting calories and doing lots of exercise. I was only looking at a 10lb loss (my main goal was to eat healthy). I hit that after about 6 months. But when I hit my goal I thought "now what?" To maintain I would have to keep weighing, logging and counting. I was sick of counting and I was sick of eating every couple of hours.
    So - I did a little searching. I came across Primal Blueprint - I thought "let's do an experiment". What have I got to lose? Diabetes is a dysfunctional carbohydrate metabolism and there is diabetes in my family and since even whole grains are carbs that spike your blood sugar - just slower to get there - I figured I would try it to see what happens. It made sense to me. So I ditched the counting. Dropped the grains, milk, legumes, and sugars. I cut back on the exercise - especially excessive cardio - and did just enough to stay fit. Limited my fruit (all non-fiber carbs turn to sugar when digested). Started eating healthy fats (butter, coconut oil, olive oil, animal fats, uncured bacon) and protein like crazy. Stopped eating processed foods. WOW!! My energy levels went up. My digestive problems went away. My hair stopped falling out and receding areas at the temples are growing back (yes I'm female). My stress levels dropped. I lost my belly. I learned I have a serious sugar addiction - this is still the hardest part. I dropped another 10lbs in four months. Hit a weight I haven't seen since before puberty.

    So now and for the immediate future and probably for the rest of my life I will be following Primal Blueprint (and PB Fitness). Who knows, my continuing journey of knowledge might send me in another direction. We'll see...
