I saw a nutritionist and she told me eating your exercise calories completely defeats the purposes. She suggested maybe eating up too 100 of the cals or so.

I mix it up but main things I go between: Carnation breakfast essentials (blue box) no sugar added then I add one of the following: dannon light and fit yogurt hard boiled egg fruit piece of string cheese oatmeal on weekends then things are different: waffles pancakes malt o meal

Nope hubby fully supports me on this and encourages me. Many times he is exercising with me and gets the food choices that I need to make.

You too.

Minnesota, National Guard as a Full timer wearing the uniform everyday, Total service 16 years but full time 8 yrs. HOOAH!

For net calories I am under 1200 but consume between 1200-1400 per my nutritionist - I have increased my activity level alot and do not eat back my calories (nutritionist says only to eat back around 100 of the exercise calories or you defeat the purpose) and after 21 days I'm at 4lbs down.

My nutritionist told me at the most only eat back approx 100 cals of exercise otherwise you are defeating the purpose which is to get a deficit and loss weight.

I think I would see a nutritionist to have a program designed for you specifically - thats what I did when I became frustrated. She also uses this program to keep her on track and was glad to see I was doing so but was able to point out some areas that were causing me issues that have helped since I am now aware of them.…

My nutritionist did not advise on eating up the calories I gained through exercise completely - she said maybe eat 100 of them - but to many and she said you are just wasting the extra calories you are gaining towards weight loss.

This is a question for your doctor as there are many factors that are specific to you. When I talked to my nutritionist she only suggested regular vitamins for me with no additives along with eating right, water intake and exercise.

I keep a bottle next to me all day. I fill it right away in the morning and once it is empty fill it right back up. Some days I'm not as successful but I find the more I drink water the less I need to eat as I don't feel so hungry. I only do flavored water so maybe that helps - crystal light packets are great. Towards the…

A couple things: as you gain muscle you may gain some weight as this weighs more than fat stop eating your exercise calories - I know some on here say you should however when I say a nutritionist she said you can consume some of them but by eating them all you are defeating part of the purpose Also you need to eat healthy…

For me my husband does alot to encourage the exercise portion of my lifestyle change. I also share my daily food diary with 2 people at work and we are adding 2 more people this month so we motivate each other. As time has gone by I find myself craving less of the bad foods then I used to. Also watching my body change has…

I count this towards my water intake because it is the ONLY (I blame the Army because of hydration formations where we were forced to drinkk canteens of water as fast as possible - yuck) way I will drink water however I ensure that I add the crystal light as a snack.

It actually is possible IF you are not consuming enough calories to keep your body going and thus the body begins to conserve the fat because it believes it is starving. This would depend on how much you are under and how often you do this.
