    Take care and God bless,

    Check out the group Eat More to Weigh Less
    They also have a website www.eatmore2weighless.com and are on facebook. Their principles are right in line with this article by Tom Venuto and are helping many get their lives back!

    Very helpful tips thanks for posting. I have Hashimoto's disease which is hypothyroidism I hope once I lose the weight I will be under control of my thyroid problem. I've actually gained 2 pounds in weight over to 3 days. I'm going to use your tips to reconstruct my eating habits. Thanks a bunch.

    I found it interesting that as you increase calories after a restrictive diet, you only have to hold for one week before analyzing results- I would have thought 3 to 4 weeks would be necessary.

    Great info. I like Tom Venuto, and bought his book several years ago.

    Thank you for this!!! I know first hand EXACTLY what this article is talking about.

    I only disagree with "meal frequency". There is enough evidence to back the idea of Intermittent fasting as a successful approach to fat loss that I have to disagree. Although, I DO agree with feeding at regular times. About the same times each day.

    Again, THANK YOU!!!

    ETA: Another great resource on this subject are books by Leigh Peele, fat loss trouble shoot and the metabolic repair manual.

    Read all of this and copied to friends also!! Its amazing how little information I had before reading it. Most enlightening and explains why, after eating a meal of 2,000 calories on a weekend break (high carb) I could walk up and down our hotel room while my partner showered and after increasing my walking for the week I managed not to have put any weight on for the week...

    You have given me the knowledge to continue my journey in a more appropriate way - many thanks!!

    During the post-training window of opportunity, not only will the carbs NOT get stored as fat, (they’ll get sucked right up into muscle glycogen), this strategy can dramatically improve your body composition and workout recovery

    Can anyone tell me how long this "post-training window of opportunity" is, when one can eat carbs? From what I've read, this might be a good time to have a protein shake or something similar.

    Thanks!

    Immediately after workout is a good time to take your protein shake with fast carbs as this will be absorbed very quickly by your glycogen depleted body and the protein will be used immediately for muscle repair. The most articles I've read from bodybuilding sites said that the "window of opportunity" could be within 30 minutes after working out. This is a good approach, well at least for me. I've been doing it for a couple of years now and the results and my recovery is way better compared when I was a total noob and not taking my protein and fast carbs right away post workout. You still have to eat a complete meal an hour after your post workout shake though. I hope this helps. ;)

    when he talks about eating at your maintenance calories for a week every 12 weeks to switch things up, is he referring to your maintenance calories at your current weight or your target weight? this is an important distinction.
