How exciting! You are about to have a long, difficult but amazing journey. The best experience I had in my life was watching my body change after overcoming an addiction. I wouldn't be too dependant on this forum for support. You need to support yourself! Be proud of your progress - even if it's only 10lb! If you have a…

Go for it Kelly! Your body is telling you and you're listening. That's fantastic! Aim high. Changing your entire diet is exactly how it should be. You should be angry at yourself and all the terrible food being marketed to you. Anger is a great motivator. The best advice I can offer is.. -Look into Paleo. It's based on…

Dietitians are very highly qualified people. They understand macro's more than anyone here telling you otherwise. You say it wasn't for you... but you lost 15kg! What about that didn't work? I would never suggest NO carb. What about vegetables, fruit and berries? 20g a day is plenty of carbs if you are eating clean. Do…

If you've done Atkins you should know your body DOESN'T need them. Certainly not 170 grams of them and absolutely not when you are trying to burn up the last of your bulge. I have focused my responses on the question of "how do I lose this last bit". Cut out the refined carbohydrates that are only used to provide energy…

You might want to do some research. A lot has changed since 1973.

"Abs are made in the kitchen". Working out more is great but it's not going to target anything. The "little pudge" will be the very last thing that goes. It's very unlikely you are building muscle. Either you are just seeing more muscle as the fat reduces or you are eating a surplus of calories and "bulking". You are…

Considering your injury and inability to get around much, 1200 sounds right to me. I wouldn't worry about the extra 30 minutes you can endure every few days. Think of that as bonus calorie burning. I always tell people to see how you feel. BMR is a good number to start with but as you've found, the variation of different…

Thanks. :) I like to explain answers, rather than just shout them at people.

I would take this chance to do a 24 hour fast! Don't eat until tomorrow and your body will never stop thanking you for a chance to stop processing bloody food for a while and focus on something else... like say... healing! Burning fat stores! Growing muscle! Too many people showing how terrified they are of being hungry.…

Your daily cals are all over the place. Put your daily goal to 1200cal. I think you can drop this a little more if you aren't active some days, just to sell off a few extra grams of fat. It's entirely down to how you feel. You need to be as low as you can get without feeling light headed, dizzy or nauseous. 255g of…

I find this typical for most everyone that anything different must be bad. You have spent 216 months eating every few hours and after 1 month of restricting your eating window you call it quits. IF is about overcoming the attachment to food and the horrible effect having it all day has on your body. Lastly, saying you…

Me again! Firstly Kazza... WELL DONE!! You have lost an average of 0.76kg per week! That's fantastic!! :) 5000kj is perfectly fine if you feel fine! Forget everyone telling you your BMI and cal/kj. The BMI calculator is a generalised algorithm invented in a prehistoric age and suits only a tiny group of calculator-ideal…

I'm pretty sure she didn't patent that song and dance. Results are 80% diet so don't be in a rush and stick to the basics. Take a brisk walk. Find some hills to get your heart rate up and legs burning. Your body will tell you when you want more. Eventually you'll be counting the hours before your next class/session. But…

Hi Kazza. How do you feel at 5000kj? Do you have fatigue, tiredness, dizziness or light headedness? Your body will tell you if you are not eating enough. As a comparison, I'm a 36yo male, I eat 5500kj in one meal once a day and I train for 7 hours a week. I don't feel hungry or tired - in fact I don't get sleepy in the…

Yes, it's called body fat. Your body burns its fat stores to allow you to hunt, gather and prepare the food you found that day. You eat, replenish your fat stores (or in the case of weight loss, a little less) and the next day you do the same thing again - survive! There was no primitive human that quickly ate a banana…

Do it fasted. Wake up. Go for a walk. Have a shower, get ready for work then leave! Skip breakfast. With oatmeal you're only eating carbohydrates which will make your body store fat, anyway. Let your body do what it evolved to do and burn it's own fat stores, repair cell damage, build muscle and recomposition your body.…

The fist thing to do is not freak out! You've had success for 2 months so don't change everything because of a plateau. If you hit a wall it means either: -your body is adjusting and you need to shake it up a little -your routine has changed -your diet has changed To me, 1600-1800 sounds like a lot for a female - and why…

My first post! I would suggest at first just moving. Instead of catching the bus from your local stop, walk to the next one and catch it there. You can do the same on the way home, too. Instead of taking the escalator (travelator in US?), take the stairs. Same for the lift or elevator. When you park your car, park at the…
