eating your burned calorie! Really!

Great thread... I had wondered this myself! But from my personal experience I lost 9kg last year over 5mths and I was eating the calories burned during exersizing. Generally I added about 300-400 calories per day by working out for an hour on a recumbent bike in the mornings. I found that this, added to my set calorie allowance of 1400, meant I could generally eat and drink as I pleased (within reason) and still lose weight - albeit slowly. Sadly, an overseas holiday followed by Xmas ect meant I slipped back into old habits an so I'm back here again. But at least I know it works now and hopefully I can maintain self control this time
