I am pretty knowledgeable about weight training, definitely not an expert. Honestly that is the only way I have lost weight and actually kept it off because I was gaining muscle. Just fell off track because I hurt my back

Also cravings when cutting carbs are out of his world

Sounds great thank you

Carbs feed muscles. You need carbs if you lift weights like me. Read the article. http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/planet27.htm

If I don't exercise I lose weight on 1350 but if I workout I have to do 2000 according to mfp

Awesome. I'm against cutting certain food groups out. Except sugar I can totally deal with cutting artificial and sugar from sweets, candy etc

Perfect. I can do it

Awesome!! What does hour diet look like?

Sounds like what I'll have to do and stick with it

Right deficient works I meant extremely low calorie

Totally not for the long run but it's q good kickstart and helped A LOT with bloating

That's awesome good job! That sounds very reasonable time. How many calories were you eating before it? Dos you exercise during that time?

Thanks good point. I do weigh my food and an very precise in that aspect. I just get full so fast now and I have very little appitite. I did the three day military diet and that may be why. I don't mind, I actually like it. I don't feel weak or anything. I'm eating three small meals a day with two snacks.

That's what I thought. Thanks

Thank you

That doesn't seem worth it.. Might as well eat s healthy diet of 1200+ calories to get the appropriate nutrients

Is that information for someone who is normal to slightly overweight? Does it pertain to people who are obese?

So here's my question... As being so overweight, if I did a low calorie diet plan until I got to a reasonable weight and then upped my calories, would that be a good option? I have done the 1700-2000 calories while working out and I have lost weight, but I always gain the weight back..

Perfect. Thank you.

Thank you for that. I will keep up my calorie intake to keep the fat and protein up

So if I lose say 50 pounds doing 1200 calories and then I go to say 1400-1600 would I gain weight back if I'm still eating healthy and working out?

Never heard of starvation mode until today

Can't build muscle on 1200 calories does that mean if I'm eating 1200 calories and weight training I won't lose weight?

That's awesome! Do you work out?

Thank you. Right now I will definitely lose weight at 1200 calories when I get to a smaller weight, I will do what you have recommended thanks again for your help. I appreciate it

Thank you, I will not do that.

Hey thanks... I should have added i workout least 3 times a week sometimes more sometimes less. My workouts include weight training and some cardio. I will try it out

That totally makes sense. I'm wondering if I will stop losing weight when I get to a smaller size if I continue eating 1000-1200 calories a day.. I could do 900 or so calories when I get to that point, but in not sure if that's realistic. Were you exercising at all during that time?

That is a good point. Thank you for your help.
