  • It made me nervous to add more calories, but it seems to me if you're not getting enough you risk putting your body in starvation mode and it will hold on to as much of the calories as it can store. I'm giving myself 200 more calories a day for good measure and doing much better with dropping, with my ocassional plateaus…

  • banking calories has to work somewhat or else I would be screwed. Some days I go way over, and might notice a temporary weight gain but at the end of the week it all balances out for me. If only I could bank sleep....

  • Well, I learned the hard way it's important to get enough calories in every day.

Muscles need…

  • just be careful about it. there are a few instances in which it's good (my doctor suggested it to me at the start of my new health regime change partly because I was close to being diabetic). make sure you are exercising during that time and working your muscles because it's easy to wind up losing muscle weight. since…
