If your not losing and frustration is high

Here is a different method, and you might consider it as "losing weeks of time and progress". But your stalled anyway so what will it hurt. Change your minds way of thinking, what is the max amount of food I can take in and still lose weight.


You need to log all activity and all food. This includes all of the work around your house. Increase your calories by 500 and eat your exercise calories for several weeks. How does your body respond? (Do not try to increase with super healthy foods, that would require over 1 lb of chicken for example). If your body still stays the same, increase again. Yes, you are trying to gain weight. We are trying to find the max amount of food your allowed. This will take several weeks to make sure it is a true increase. After, you have gained for a couple of weeks subtract 250 and see if you go to maintenance again. If your still gaining subtract 250 again. After, you find your maintenance calorie level subtract 500 and you will be on your way to about 1lb a week.

I understand your frustration, Working out is not my problem. It is finding the correct amount of calories to consume and lose weight. I have always been told to lose weight, eat less. Don't consume junk, eat more veggies, more protein, more water, losing is easy, exercise more. I have tried it all, except for consume MUCH higher.

So I have increased my calories by over 1000 per day, and no longer subtract my bmr from my HRM calories burned. This adds 80 calories per hour/workout. So, I have increased 8000 calories a week, and what has happened a slight decrease on the scale. Too early to say yes this is working, but i am not pounding my head on the wall and asking why is this not working. I am trying something new. Am I consuming tons of food. Yes, I am. Intimidating at times, but if it works, I don't give a ****.

Or, do as I did for months. Keep reading forums, and ignoring the suggestion of eat more. This line is what helped: Change your minds way of thinking, what is the max amount of food I can take in and still lose weight. My problem in a nut shell: I want to lose so bad, I am afraid of food.


I hope this helps, but your stalled anyway so what can it hurt.
