    BTW - don't buy the Nook version of the book - the recipes are illegible due to some kind of problem with the fractions. I will be requesting a refund.

    Yep.. I had the same problems!! I went and got the book from the library to copy the recipes. I didn't realize that you could get a refund from Nook. I'll definitely be asking for one now.

    thanks.

    Yeah I think this caloric measure is best for people who want to gain muscle mass while losing fat, which would make it seem like you're "maintaining" because the scale would stay around the same, but you're really getting stronger :) It makes for slow fat loss I think, which is definitely healthier in the end and better for a lifelong journey!


    This is DEFINITELY what I've been seeing happen!

    This Is what happened when I did the program :-) loved the results

    its been a while now since this was first posted. Are there any people out there that can say that eating this many cals per day actually works i.e. that they are losing weight each week?

    Thanks

    it appears to me, and i could be wrong, that it is more for finding your calorie goal to maintain or lifting to build muscle, rather than lose.

    Oh right i didn't read it like that at all?

    I do kettlebells and was interested in the post and from what i read it was to lose weight if you done the math and deducted the 300 cals from the final figure - and it would result in a slow but progressive weekly weight loss ??? Very confused now!

    Trace - that is how I read it. Get your number, subtract 300 cals. The formula on this spreadsheet even suggests that...

    It's for losing weight not for maintaining, the 300 cal deficit is for losing fat and not muscle. You will not lose weight as quickly but you will lose it.
