Tracking My Calories Reminded Me to Eat More

I am learning the same thing except for I do need to lose weight. Sounds odd doesn't it? I need to eat more to lose weight? Turns out I was drinking a majority of my calories in the form of sugar and creamer in my constantly filled up coffee cup. Now that I've cut that out and am starting to eat real food... I'm losing weight and feeling the energy my coffee and sugar did not give me!

I started working with a nutrition and fitness coach that totally gets this. I was started on a reverse diet during which time I am not supposed to lose any weight. My calories and weight training are increased every couple of weeks to find that perfect balance. I am losing inches and feel terrific. Once the balance is identified, I will begin the weight loss phase of the program. I anticipate it may take up to a year to complete the cycle. But when you have been averaging 900 calories a day, there is a lot of clean up to do.
