I looked at your diary. Your eating high carbs and low protein. Reverse that and you will lose weight. You will lose weight with your current calorie deficit but continuing to eat crap (processed foods, sugar, high carbs.) instead of clean will ensure long term failure. Also, if you find yourself eating a mayo / peanut…

Nothing. McDonalds is poison.

Eat like the leanest people in the world. 1 gram of protein per lean lb. of body weight. Train hard 3x per week with these 7 lifts: Bench, Standing Row, Dead Lift, Bi-Cep Curl, Tri-Cep Extension, Military Press, Squat. You can also try to cycle your nutrition. 2 days of lower carb. / calories for fat burn (500 calorie…

Turns out I was just retaining water as my body repaired muscle after an Epic hike last Friday. After 3 days of recovery I stepped on the scale tonight nearly 5 lbs less than yesterday!

No, I liked what you said. In fact its the basis of my decision to maintain my low calorie diet while increasing my exercise regime. You just like posting negative comments. Whatever.

Siansonea is a Troll. Simple question was if there was such a thing as body metabolism slowing down. Looks like there is not. I will stick with the calories in vs. calories out method that has lead me to 35 lbs of weight loss. Was just curious why I plateaued and I will just keep logging my food and exercise with…

I am a very muscular guy (former college wrestler and football player) I am working each week to increase the weight I use to increase my strength / preserve my lean body mass. The 200 - 205 I quoted is basically water weight fluctuation. I am 6' 1" and super fit for me is 225 (11% body fat) My short term goal is to get…

Great article on weight-loss plateau: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/weight-loss-plateau/MY01152 Definitely NOT going to increase my calorie consumption. Instead I am going to workout even harder and not eat back any calories.

I believe in Homeostasis. The question re-framed is that now that my average workouts are burning at-least 7K calories per week, is my body adapting to this change by modifying metabolic rate to retain weight? So starvation mode only happens to people that are very underweight? What about people who are ship-wrecked and in…

I like this idea as well. I have been doing couch to 5K to increase intensity but even jogging is becoming easy as I become more fit. Going to try to change things up this week by trying Body Works, Boot Camp and Step classes at the gym this week and see if my body is just asking me to change my diet / exercise program…

Thanks for the advice everyone! My mother has thyroid issues / diabetes (and is very fit) so I get that checked with my annual physical. So far so good. I looked back at my logs and it looks like my high sodium day are when I eat processed foods (which is a rare occurrence these days.) Looks like it is time to completely…

1. Use a scale, and use it for everything ---I weigh everything. Accurate data entry is not the issue. 2. Stop drinking your calories ---I only drink water. 3. Stop going out to eat for a bit until the scale and your numbers are under control ---I never eat out (at least since the diet started!) 4. Stop eating back…
