Check out the EM2WL Youtube videos. but to answer your question, 15% calorie reduction is what the group advocates... 20% calorie reduction creates too much of a deficit.

And I thought it was just me!!!

ME TOO!!!

TOTALLY!!!! It is my favorite... Smoothies, Dressings, Toppings ETC>>>

Definitely healthier fats... Avocados, cooking with olive oil, eating real cheese, like the kind you buy from the cheese counter, nuts, basically everything the previous poster said.. feel free to add me.. I eat 1812 cals per day.

Feel free to add me too!

[/quote] I do insanity 5x a week gym where I do 25-35 cardio and 25-30 weights 4 data a week on average. I workout on average 6-9 hours a week. [/quote] Looks like one step above moderate, but i'm still new in the game. 6-9 hours is your key.. 1-3 hours Light 3-5 hours Moderate 6-9-- that's you right?

My son is allergic to wheat, oats, soy, eggs, a whole bunch of stuff basically and he's almost skin and bones... but trust me this little kid can put it down. I feed him quinoa (it's a great alternative to wheat) and gluten free of course. I also feed him rice and for breakfast, he eats quinoa (grain form) I give it to him…

I eat the same thing for breakfast and snacks but with variation to break up the taste. So I will have a smoothie with Kefir as the base... I may switch up the flavor or the fruits to keep it interesting. The calories are the same though.

I received a response from Lucia regarding my activtity... Currently I do workouts on my lunch break and average 25 minutes 5 days a week. She stated that was 2 1/2 hours per week and that I was light activity. I do lift weights and interval jogging, but not enough to burn a significant amount of calories like you would at…

Wasn't really that in tune to notice. What would this mean? I do my weight session on Thursday and also Interval jogging... 3.8 to 4.4 in 60 second intervals

My calorie deficit is usually 1900 calories per day as supposed to 2379 which is Maintenance or TDEE. I eat about 130 grams of protein per day, plus I get good fats and carbs in.

I feel your struggle. You are not alone. It has been more than 5 months since something like this happened. For me, it was also 5:30 and it was on. Usually for me it was a slice of cake and a little single serve container of haagen daaz ice cream. I would eat it with a salad so as to justify the additional calories. It was…

I also do the 40/30/30 split and my snacks are usually bananas, apples and for breakfast, oatmeal and a protein shake which includes Kefir and plain greek yogurt (not all at one time). My snacks that include my fats are good fats, cheese and nuts. And I weigh them 1 ounce of cheese and 30 g of nuts. I seldom eat bread…

You should check out the EM2WL Forums. There are plenty of success stories there.

why are you concerned that you are going way over with sugar and fats? Your body needs both. Are you diabetic? Otherwise, why are you worried about the sugar that comes from fruit esp. Carbs, protein, fat, each has its rightful place in the journey to eating heathy. There are no extremes here. Now if you are eating crap…

AWESOME

WOW, what an awesome story... congrats to you on newness of life and staying focused and not letting life get the best of you.... You are a conqueror!!

Why not ask for some friends to help you stay accountable and view their diaries for ideas. A baked potato and two tacos???? WTW.. 900 calories... what did you put on that potato? Try oatmeal with flaxseed... I'm not going to say eat 1200 calories, because I eat 1900 every day, but it's clean very minimally processed. And…

OUTSTANDING GIRL!!!!!

Give your body what it needs. Listen to it. Hunger pangs, feed it something that will provide nutrients. If you are lethargic, choose an apple or banana or make a smoothie with spinach and Kefir. Drink lots of water. On 1200 calories, choose foods that provide good sustenance....good sustaining power... If you are doing a…

8 years ago :-) I decided I would do Weight Watchers, Core Plan. I lost 30 lbs in 5 months (January-May). Although I wasn't actively trying to get pregnant; however, I did stop taking BC pills December of that month. I got pregnant May of that year after losing the 30 lbs, my baby boy just celebrated his 7th birthday this…

I agree, it definitely goes back to the purpose of the fast. When we focus on the food, it defeats the purpose because instead of Christ being the focus, food is. Everytime I realize my stomach growls, I remind myself that it's OK. Then I go pray, read or do something productive instead of thinking about what recipe/food…

I am also on week 2 of the Daniel Fast. Each year my church does a corporate fast and it's between the individual and God the type of fast they will do. My first couple of days was supposed to be water only, but got the flu. Unfortunately, I couldn't take the medication on an empty stomach so I transitioned on to the…

Awesome... cute outfit..

How adorable!!! That's awesome great job girl!!! Love the family pic...

Saute it with some onions and green peppers and add to salad

I just joined. I haven't moved much in a long time, but I am going to challenge myself to walk at least 32 miles for December. Hopefully I exceed this goal :-)
