Yes I I will be, I was just taking my measurements, and I want to post a pic but I am not sure in what just yet.... I am thinking maybe a really fitted dress....
I think she was referring to weighing and measuring your food for accuracy.0 -

No no no, this is not because I am special or am trying to teach anything... I seriously want to know if it really is calorie based or it is what you eat... wow so assumptive lol0 -

I will be eating almost 800 calories over what the suggested amount is for losing 2lbs a week
What I entered :
Weight 260
Height 5'7
Lifestyle: sedentary
The suggest 1390 a day
I will be eating 2100
I believe I will still lose weight without starving myself because eating clean and burning fat is far different than eating junk and burning muscle... whats more I think I will lose more weight this way...
I will also be drinking approximation 120 ounces of water a day to help flush fat cells
I will be posting my diary link so that you can check it, I will be logging in every day, and weighing myself once a week...
I am excited to see these results!!!
That's nice dear
May I suggest you eat 1000 calories over your 2lb cut for a real experiment. Also ensure your TDEE is correct so you need to keep doing this until you hit your maintenance over a couple of months on regular food and then replace ...you know so that it is actually an experiment
Oh and fat cells don't flush away they kind of just empty
Well not sure I can eat that much in a day, clean eating is WAY more food than junk eating... but I will try....lol
Also, TDEE is 2080 which is why I chose the 2100 number...
Yes by flush I meant to clean them out, not that they will actually leave my body.... lol
How have you determined your TDEE?0 -

So you got overweight how?? There are plenty of 'clean' high cal foods btw - nuts, avocados, oils...0 -
In order for it to be useful, OP (as I suggested earlier) needs to establish her true TDEE then eat regular food at maintenance then replace regular food with her consideration of what is clean food
And each stage should last a minimum of 8 weeks
THAT would be interesting
Clean eating means no junk food, processed foods, and what not... that is normal food...

Becuase I used to think pizza and chocolate were part of the main food groups... no seriously I ate crap all the time... it was fast and easy and I was short on time.... sure there are some medical issues thrown in there but that is not an excuse for how grossly I ate or treated myself...0 -

Define processed
Define junk
Would a burger be junk..ya know organic, home-reared fresh ground beef, onions, spices, a fresh-laid egg. Would it become unclean if I topped it with cheese, what about lettuce, tomato? Is it the bread? What if I made it at home ...is it the fact that the wheat is ground that makes a process or the yeast is a leavening process
This is why "clean" has no definition0 -

There is something wrong in your calculations. 2 lbs/week of weight loss means a deficit of 1000 calories per day. So to be in maintenance, you should eat not 800 calories over 1390, but 1.000 (=2390).

I hope not. I'm all in for this, assuming that proper care is taken and adequate proof provided (and the OP can tell us how she came to know her TDEE)0 -
You all are going to ruin this for me aren't you? I can feel it happening.
I *really* want this all to play out.0 -

The pizza I had tonight wasn't fast! Took, like, 35 minutes to get here. I could have made food faster than that, but my egg-dispensing ovary required pizza, so I didn't. I'm pretty confident that it won't affect my weight loss efforts, cos CICO. Anyway, my point was that saying you can't 'eat clean' at what should be your maintenance level is pretty ridiculous. Just think about it.0 -
