Hi All! I'm new to the group...I've been desperately trying to lose about 10 lbs and just can't seem to shake them. I keep losing and gaining the same lb... for months now. Went to a naturopath/nutritionist and starting Sunday trying a new diet, and getting allergy testing completed. Hopefully this will help.

    From what I've seen, bouncing around with your calories is the best way to solve this, like 1300 one day, 1800 the next, 1200, 1400, ect..

    Same here. I've got the UK version of BMF and you can pay for weekly support from a dietician. She's now upped. My deficit to 750 but insistent I do this by increasing exercise and not eating below my BMR. Too early to see if its working though.

    When I started out I was eating around 1000 cals a day plus exercised a lot and nothing happened. Then I started eating my exercise calories back so was eating about 1500 and I started losing! I also had cheat days every once a week (didn't go too crazy but just didn't worry as much) Seemed to work.

    I've noticed that my water intake really affects the scale. The more water I drink (within reason), the better I do that week.
