Has anyone increased calories eaten per day & lost more weig

Same thing happened to my wife. She was undereating and couldn't lose. I finally convinced her to eat within 100 calories of her goal, and she started losing.

All through summer, I was doing Insanity. I stuck to the exercise program and was frustrated when I did not see any weight come off. Granted, I did lose some inches and tone up a tiny bit. Once I increased calories (1200-1400 a day), I lost 9lbs in about 2 months.

When I first did P90X I was eating 2500 calories a day and lost 15 lbs. It was hard core workouts plus the right foods

I do 2000 now and still work out 5 - 6 days a week but just to sty fit so, I had to cut back on calories. I could actually cut a few more.

When I do P90x again in January I'll need the calories again so i don't lose the wight.

Remember you want to eat foods that are good and burn fat!

yes that happend to me!! i was eating like eight hundred calories and wondering why nothign was happening.. then i decided to eat my 1200 calories and the weight started falling off.. along with drinking lots of water ! its odd but it took me quite a while to figure this out!! good luck!

also i didnt exersize a whole lot.. and it still came off.. i think it has alot to do with why ppl dont lose weight cause ethey r eating to little or too much..

I'll let you know. I was averaging 1300 to 1400 net calories a day. I am going to cut back my workout and increase my caloric intake to 1700 net calories a day and see how that works.

I have definitely increased my calorie intake and lost weight, but the key was maintaining my workout schedule. My friend, who's a personal trainer and in much better shape than I am in told me the following advice:

Every now and then it's good to increase the amount of calories your body is consuming whether through exercising less or eating more. Our bodies are amazing at adapting and if you keep the same eating and working out schedule all the time, you can hit weight plateaus. The key is to only adjust things by adding 200-300 calories for about a week or two before trying to get back to a net zero or negative daily calorie goal. If you have too much of a calorie surplus for too long, you'll put back all the weight you worked so hard to take off.

I eat between 1400-1800 calories per day but I work out a lot and burn anywhere from 500-1000 calories each time. If you look at my nutrition report, it says I am coming in under 1200 net most days but I am still losing at the rate of 1-1.5 lbs. per week. I started doing this site because I ate too much while working out a lot so it's not the exercise that has changed.

I rarely eat all my exercise calories (maybe Sundays-my day off and the only workouts I get in are cleaning and walking the dog) but I intentionally leave a several hundred calorie deficit so I have room if I miscalculate a portion size, aren't exactly sure how many cals. are in something I eat and to leave room for when I'm tasting things as I cook. I only have 5 lbs. to go and know the loss will come slower but things are working well for me now so I'm not going to change anything.

What foods burn fat in particular?

Every week I have ensure I have a day where I am over my allowance, it helps stop you going into starvation mode. It's called the zig-zag method and is recognised fat loss method.

Also, You can find cayenne pepper in a capsule called "cool cayenne" at any health food store.
