Harcombe Diet Support!

The what-a-what diet? never heard of it. I'm focusing on the 'balanced' diet this year. Studies show it has fantastic results.

no way Jose...but good luck

I am new to this website. I am doing the balanced diet but it does not say what the goal for the calories I should burn in a day. So if you have to burn more calories than if I need to eat, which is 1600 calories, a day I should burn at least 1700 in my workout. That is about two hours of bicycling a day to burn the 1700 calories. Am I missing something in the website I have not setup yet??

Harcombe really works! I am now down 100 lbs! I am going to do phase 3 for a while and maintain. Then I'll decide if I want to switch back to phase two again and lose a little more.

I ate a LOT of food on phase 2 and was never hungry. I set MFP to "maintain" and used it as a tracker for my food and exercise, and most days I ate all my "needed calories" or more. So my results seem to have proved that counting your calories does not matter, and that a different approach like Harcombe is a better way to lose weight.

Please let me know if you try it and if you have the same great results that I did.

Warm regards,

Emma

I'm no expert on this particular diet, but from a personal perspective, I have tried so many "list" diets before trying to lose weight. Those are diets where you get lists of food you can and can't have or weird rules about combinations of food or whatever. They are just not sustainable for me, I used to just despair and regain the weight again. I like the flexibility of calorie counting because I'm totally in control of what I am doing and have a good understanding of what I put in my mouth. This means that I'm not going to have a panic attack if I eat carbs or something, I know it fits into my calorie count and that I'll continue to lose weight if I maintain a deficit.
