  • One thing to do is make sure you get enough fiber in your food every day. This helps a lot! Good luck and watch the saturated fats, too.

  • Thanks for the comments - I will respond to those that asked about homemade. I found a site - Spark - that lets you enter in the recipe and then it calculates the calories for you.

    in Now weight is up even though the past week I averaged 1250-1300 calories per day! Comment by B01JHen March 2015
  • Okay - I didn't even realize it was locked, but I opened my diary. I am weighing my food, my splurge was logged into food - a couple cupcakes, hamburger last Friday and beer. Still just over the 1200. I weigh weekly. I had a hysterectomy with removal of ovaries nearly 20 years ago, so should not be that issue!

  • Actually that's a fallacy I just learned when I started this diet! the fact is that muscle weighs the same as fat - i.e. a pound of feathers and a pound of bricks are still a pound. I do know muscle does burn more calories. Not sure how to reply to some earlier questions - I had a bowel obstruction related to prior…

  • Wow - thanks for all the comment and suggestions. I will try to respond to everyone in this note. - First, I was hospitalized 1.5 years ago. I lost 12 lbs. When I got home I started gaining and then kept gaining 1 lb per month until I was about 10 more than my pre-hospital weight!! (pre hospital weight = 128-130) I finally…
