I know this is a really late response but I think you bring up a great point. Sometimes I think the title "cheat day" leads us all to think ok today is my day to go crazy with food. The issue with this is two-fold, one it tends to lend itself towards binge type eating (Chris recommends only 1,000 calories more than deficit…

adding fat to veggies is a great way to meet calorie goals. Sauteeing vegetables in some olive oil, raw baby carrots with some dip, celery with peanut butter, etc. Also, not sure if you mean 1200 net and are eating back exercise calories (if so, this is good) or if you are only eating or struggling to meet 1200 calories…

it would be normal for you to be "up" if you immediately weigh yourself after a high carb slingshot week. Increased carbs also = increased water retention. However, this "tricks" the body into keeping losing at such high deficits. I would recommend not weighing yourself until after the third LC day of your next week in…

I think both are good. If I remember correctly, the one from his website leaves off a healthy grain such as quinoa under carbs. I would say follow those, but if you have more knowledge or experience with nutrition you know what "fits" in his categories and what would not. For example, knowing quinoa is a healthy whole…

fluffymama33 that is amazing! I am starting turbo cycle mid-cycle.......I've been off and on stuff for forever but I'm finally 110% serious this time and have had the come to Jesus talk with myself...meaning I know for me (not everyone) low carb and more appropriately, carb cycling is what it is going to take to get this…

HI Tajasi....I have recently started the Classic cycle (have been on and off due to major stressors in my life, but that is a whole other thread :)) I have, however, successfully down the Classic cycle for at least two weeks consistently. While I have 65 lbs to lose to be normal weight I am shooting for 85 (a previous…

Hey ladies, Nbennett509...4 lbs is an amazing loss for the week. Be proud of yourself! Remember you're losing actual fat, not a ton of water, because of the high protein carb cycling method. Also, in my past experience and I believe in the book Chris recommends weighing in the day before your cheat day to get your most…

I know I am new here and you don't "know" me yet but I am so sorry to hear about this. I will be praying for your husband's and your family's healing. I know this is a very difficult time for you.

Great job!

Hello all, I have been prepping to start Choose to Loose all week and I am trying out some recipes today and will officially probably start tomorrow with my reward day being Saturday. I have tons of knowledge about nutrition and exercise but have a hard time sticking with either. I'm 28 and 5'10". While I have always…

I have also been bloating VERY badly since raising my calories. its fluctuating - but anywhere between 6-9 lbs (bloated 6 lbs within 2 days of raising to TDEE) I know this is mostly if not all water, but it has been 3-4 weeks now and has become especially uncomfortable the past 2 days. I know this is probably a combo of…

I'm 5'10" and currently 210. At my lowest (healthily) I was 160 and when I started eating right again in October and working out with a trainer last December I was 235. Due to my weight I was pretty low cal the first 2 months (i.e. 1300-1400 daily) but when I started training I plateaued (i don't use that word lightly LOL)…
