in Health and Weight Loss
Hello everyone. I'm somewhat nervous about opening up about my weight loss problems. I want to try the Venus Factor http://bit.ly/1vH0iIZ but I wanted to know if any has tried it and has it actually worked for them. I've been a stay at home mom. Just had a newborn... Going through a divorce and the stress and anxiety is doing nothing to help me lose any weight. I'm nursing and I didn't want to restrict my diet to any extreme. But I definitely want to lose the pregnancy weight. Does anyone have experience with the VF? And can you really still "eat whatever you want"?

    I'm not sure what your troll is but I read through a bit of your link and my biggest concern is factoring in how to figure out where I need to be to as far as my calorie intake to support healthy nursing and still lose weight. I'm 5'6" and currently at around 150 and I want to get back to around 125-130 ish.

    I'm not looking for a "fad diet" . Key word I mentioned is I want to do something that "Supports Healthy Nursing" and also aids in weight loss...Not restricting my diet to any extreme. ( Read thoroughly next time )

    Both the troll and fad diet comment come form the fact that you started this thread asking about Venus factor. and if you could "eat whatever you want". that sounds like a fad weight loss plan. not a healthy eating plan. Hence the troll and fad diet comments

    Perhaps you should ask a professional, especially since any diet right now for you could effect your infant's health...

    I asked about the Venus Factor to see if anyone has experience with it. So I could further ask more detailed questions about it. I don't want to spend money on something if I don't have to or if it's not exactly what I want/need. They advertised "still eat what you want" that appealed to me "not restricting my diet to any unhealthy extreme". So again, I was looking for" insight" on what it is actually about and basically how results are obtained.

    It's about moderation not deprivation. There are no good/bad foods, only bad eating habits. Do or do not, there is no try. You have to want it, you have to work for it, you have to realize that only you can do it.

    TL:DR the link right above this one then ->http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/975025-in-place-of-a-road-map-short-n-sweet

    If you have 75+ lbs to lose 2 lbs/week is ideal
    If you have 40-75 lbs to lose 1.5 lbs/week is ideal
    If you have 25-40 lbs to lose 1 lbs/week is ideal
    If you have 15 -25 lbs to lose 0.5 to 1.0 lbs/week is ideal
    If you have less than 15 lbs to lose 0.5 lbs/week is ideal
