Question on this diet. I've looked at the meal plans. Each day it seems the sugar calories aren't the 100. Am I reading that right? Most are under 50. Is that all you're supposed to have following the meal plans or are you to add what you want, up to the 100 sugar calories?

Great job! :)

Great post! Thanks for sharing! My husband and I just started primal on Monday, looking forward to some results hopefully!

Thanks! So is anyone eating the daily goal it gives you on MFP or Fitbit? Are you able to lose weight?

I am interested in this! Thanks for posting! I will start tomorrow. I like that it is a 2 week program!

Well last week, beginning of week 3, I was down 3lbs since first upping my calories. So for me that is a huge result since I wasn't loosing eating too little. Going to weigh in again this up coming Sunday. Though I fear Thanksgiving may skew it, we shall see!! :)

Thank you!! It was such a relief!! :)

Hi, Well for me during October and most of last year I was eating only around 1000 calories a day with daily exercise. I am now eating 1400-2000 depending on my workouts. I have done this in the last two weeks and thats when I've now lost 3lbs. I didnt loose any when I was eating so few calories. I used quite a few…

Congrats! WOOO. I am going in this Sunday to be weighed, but I fear with it only being 2 weeks of eating more that I might be in the stage of being up a pound or two... How long did it take you to start losing after switching to eating more?

I think its so depressing. I had the same thing happen 2 weeks ago when I met with my dietician. I had been eating around 1000-1200 calories a day and working out almost everyday, I thought for sure I would have lost weight but I didnt... I did have her test my metabolism and I was greatly depressed as it dropped to 1250.…

Wanted to share this podcast, thought it was good for our group. http://thefitcast.com/episode-65-cheating-to-lose

You're scale is probably not broken. You say you are up muscle? With increase muscle comes increase water too... At my dietician she has a scale that measures body fat, water, muscle, and whenever my muscle is up so is my water...some days its 2lbs some its 5lbs depending. Do you check your measurments also? They say its…

Hi, I will say for me that I was eating 1000-1100 calories a day and exercising and lost no weight. I am trying to eat more now and I will see next Sunday if it has paid off. So your plateau might be because of not eating enough. Try googling eating 1200 calories and not loosing weight, there is tons of information on how…

A good thing to add would be nuts, they are very healthy, the right kind of fats and more protein. I love individual trail mix bags, the ones I get are under 200 calories and even has a few m&ms in the mix. I've always heard to not eat about 3 hours before going to bed. To go easy on the carbs at night....so the nut mix…

Great job! Congrats. Its alwys inspiring for everyone else! Thank you for sharing! :)

What does your totals look like? Calories, exercise calories? It depends on that I'd say.

Amazing! Great job! Keep it up!! :) Very happy for you!

I will tell you that in October I was eating 1000 calories, and working out, sometimes upto 2 hrs a day, thinking what a huge deficit I was creating. By the end of the month I had not lost any weight. Extremley depressing!!! Not only was it not fun to under eat / work out so much, the fact that the scale did not change…

Ya, I was actually thinking of skipping weighing in this Sunday, and just wait for next Sunday....just to see. Figured this first week would be a bit screwy with upping my calories, as well as I got my period today... Also I realized I have way too much sodium in my diet, so tonight I'm going to come up with new things to…

Feel free to kinda join! :) The more the merrier and if anything can help you great! Good luck with your last 20lbs! :) By the way, what a GREAT article. I had been eating around a 1000 for all of October, and exercising sometimes upto 2 hours a day, and didnt lose any weight last month! :( I started Monday with upping my…

How can you get your sodium so low? If you dont mind me asking that is. I have such a hard time, I am always over on it... :(

I agree with that one being high, I like it though since I can break down the 24 hours of a day. This site I found this morning. It gives me a number of 2100 which is pretty much what I was going to do, the garrison number minus 400... I really like this calculation because its height, weight, SEX, and age, which I think…

If you are losing weight fine with what you are doing I'd say keep doing it. For me I was in such a low deficit for all of October and didn't lose one pound all month. (Eating around 1000 cal + doing exercise) So after a lot of research I am thinking I need to be eating a lot more, especially for the activity that I do. I…

I do agree upping the calories is actually difficult and keeping it healthy.... We could post ideas of healthy snacks and such to help up calories. I this week discovered Planters individual Trail Mix, 180 calories/pack. I have added 2 of those to my day, which I feel for the most part its a healthy snack and healthier…

Yes we can start tomorrow. I think a weekend weigh in is good. I do Sundays but you can do Fridays if you want... I think that is fine. I will start a thread tomorrow then called "Eat more to Lose More Group" I think I will post daily what the calculatorsays based on what I do that day, and then report how many calories…

I have always been told not to weight after working out, to do it first thing in the morning after going to the bathroom.

I was going to use the other calculator site actually and just subtract about 300-400 calories from what it says to eat. http://www.garrisonbodyhealthnutrition.com/bodyanalysis/caloriesburned.html This calculator which calculates calories burned in 24hrs based on what your day is like. So for example for me yesterday with…

Wow that is very interesting that you were losing more prior to biking. It could be muscle being built but it also could be that you're burning more than you in take, and you're body is making it slower for weight loss. I think I may try this calculator for a few weeks too, I weigh in Sunday the 11th, so I can see if it…

Then maybe for you you are between the 2450-2065....if you have lost a 1/2lb/wk at 1900, that'd put you at 2150 for maintanance. Did you find that MFP amount it tells you to eat is too low also?
