i love kettlebell workouts. that and walking are my only forms of formal exercise. second the recommendation for the lauren brooks dvds. also, the book 'the swing' by tracy reifkind.
-
for example, two of the three days i entered this week came in at over 3000. the other was close to 2700. this is a relatively typical eating pattern for me, and has been over the course of the six months that i have been eating this way. as i said, i exercised a bit at first, then stopped. recently added a bit back in.…

i sm being generous in stating that it's over 2000. it's normally between 2500-3000. rarely if ever under 2500.
-
i know what i eat, and what it comes in at. and i eat pretty much the same thing every day. sometimes it varies, but the average is over 2000. @strong_curves you are welcome to add me and view my diary if you are truly interested. it's not terribly complete, as i eat ad libitum and only make entries periodically out of…

according to the calculations most of you seem to go by and trust, even overestimatimg my level of physical activity, i would have to have been eating less than 2000 calories per day over the past six months in order to lose the weight that i have. i know beyond a shadow of a doubt that i have not. make of it what you…
-
however, i get the sense that you are not truly interested nor are wanting to have a polite, respectful conversation about it. if you are, that's fine. we can. but as i said i am not interested in debating or proving anyone else wrong or myself right. i was simply sharing my experience.

hormones which involve metabolism are balancing. for instance, i was chronically hypoglycemic and had insomnia and pmdd and no longer experience these things. it's all connected to metabolism.
-
i follow my body's natural hunger signals and trust its wisdom in finding homeostasis. i have not only lost fat, but gained muscle tone. my body is restructuring. i believe the weight loss is happening because i am eating in such a way that my body is nourished, and my metabolism is balancing. ymmv.
-
*shrug* okay! (:
-
*not eating at s deficit. (:
-
i am not interested in proving anything. i know how much i eat, i know how much i expend. it doesn't really vary. i am eating at a deficit, and i am losing weight. (i average approximately 3000 calories per day, am not particularly active and don't exercise much. if you can conceive of a way that i could be burning in…
-
i am not really that concerned about it. (: excuse me?
-
i am not really that concerned about it. (:

i am only mentoring/tutoring this semester so mainly seated. other semesters a combo of lecture/circulating, but again, i figured the appropriate level of activity into the TDEE calculation.
-
i drive to class. teach daily. 5 min walk from where i park (but i figured that into the TDEE calculation, in fact i even figured in the bit of exercise i currently do, even though i have only done it maybe one out of the past six months). i eat at home, generally twice per day. some semesters i brought lunch from home,…
-
(: okay
-
no, but i know how much i eat daily (package weight) and i have logged it steadily before, so i know about what it comes in at. it's really okay if you guys don't believe me. :-D
-
i really am not. i have been eating pretty much the same thing every day for over six months. i haven't exercised much at all either. i was at first, then stopped when grad school got crazy. just now finally added a bit back (a few low pace walks, 10 min of kettlebell once or twice a week) about two weeks ago. weight loss,…
-
nope.
-
how high do you presume it would be? i have lost around 20# in about 6 months (no, not all water weight - it's been slow but steady), have gained musculature, and have exercised little. oh, and i just turned 40.
-
(: okay.
-
according to that calculator, my TDEE would be 1998. i average around 2500-3000 calories a day.
-
yes, very low carb. 5'4", 159#, what's TDEE? no problem, happy to answer questions.
-
i am.
-
what about folks who are not eating at a deficit and who are nevertheless losing weight (fat, specifically)?
-
what would you like to know?
-
:)
-
wendy's - double stacks or baconator (can add extra patties), plain, no bun. mcd - sausage patties and round eggs (even easier now that they serve breakfast all day!)
-
msg gives me an instant, horrible, nauseating migraine that lasts hours or days! trader joe's does have some meat sticks that don't have any msg though! they're pretty yummy. i don't really snack anymore though, since going zc. pretty much just eat twice a day.
-
i ate about half a lb. of raw 73/27. ground beef. think that's dinner. (:
