    Also so far everyone has told me I need to keep my food intake regular daily..
    But if my goal is 1200 and some days I 800 and some days I eat 1600 just for example... Would it really matter ( or would it even be better) as long as the goals averaged out over the week?


    Is it ok to eat less some days as long as its not all the time?

    ( some days I'm home with my son with all the time to concentrate in a healthy diet, other days between work and UNi lectures and social life and just flat out and calorie intake can be VErY low.. And I don't like eating I I'm not hungry but I've been worried about the irregularity of the week affecting my metabolism)?!

    I'm interested in the answer to this question, too!

    There are a lot of research that says having the same calorie net every day is not good for your diet (reason so many articles recommend cycling or zig zag dieting). If you only net 1400 cals a day, your body becomes accustomed to that and will be more efficient on that net. The article that I read recommended having 2 days of high calorie intake a week (but it is offset by eating a little less on the other 4 days).

    I did the zig zag for a while and really liked. Now I just watch my weekly net progress on my phone to see how I am doing for the week, I don't care if I am really low one day or really high one day...it only matters (to me) what my week is looking like.


    On another topic--I was one that over-cardio'd. As soon as I decreased doing 6-8 hours of elliptical/zumba down to 30-45 minutes 3-4 days a week, I immediately got off of my plateau.

    On another person's question-increasing or preserving your muscles helps with easier maintanance, because your muscles burn calories at rest (where fat does not). So the more muscle you have, the more calories you burn while sitting on your butt or sleeping :)

    Awe thanks to the person that answered some of my question ...
    I'll rephrase the other one...
    Doesn have more muscle tone, or working more on your muscle tone help to reduce the affects of a damaged metabolism? I know u said it helps maintainence with will it also help prevent damage?

    I don't know about repairing damage. I would think it would help offset any damage that has been done, but I don't know if I believe that the damage is permanant anyways (don't think there is enough research on it)

    Thanks for this post. I believe that I am operation in the starvation mode and would like to know how to get out of it.
    I am a dieter. I have done the 500 calorie diet using HCG drops, they no longer work for me.

    Any suggestions?
