    diet pills.. hm.. well they work... to a point :noway: but then once you go off of them, I heard your weight comes right back and then some :ohwell:

    I personally think it is best to just watch what you eat and then you will see a better progress and will be more able to keep track of it.

    The answers are very helpful to a newbie like me... but I have a question:
    What should I eat in order to gain back my exercise calories? I usually gravitate towards carbs and cheese (some people have trouble with chocolate, I have trouble with CHEESE!)
    My gym recommends a recovery shake after a work out - it's filled with fruit and yogurt and some other stuff I didn't pay much attention to. Should I get one of those after my workout? I am only able to get to the gym two or three times a week right now so I'm not sure how concerned I should be with eating back my calories?
    And, that leads me to another question:
    I have been staying well within my calories, but my carbs and protein numbers seem to be over. I've been playing around with my food choices, but it seems that no matter what I do, those numbers stay the same. Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Just want to clear up something with BMR.
    BMR is not the same as Maintain calories. Maintain calories are what your body needs to keep the same weight during a normal day, and are what you subtract from to loose weight, BMR is the absolute minimum number of calories the human body needs to function normally if you didn't use any muscles at all all day.

    So

    - Subracting calories from your normal Maintain calories is good for loosing weight.

    - Subtracting calories from BMR causes malnutrition and is dangerous (this is what causes you to be sluggish, have headaches,...etc) Even approaching BMR calories while keeping up a normal, active schedule is dangerous, please stay above this level.

    This is a pretty cools site!!!

    Great explanantion banks!

    Here is a site that will calculate your daily calories needed to MAINTAIN your weight.
