  • Eat a variety of fruit and vegetables both raw and cooked. You can just steam them in the microwave or stirfry from frozen which is just as good and ready cut so no fuss. Tomatoes are great (especially cooked e.g. pasta sauce). but not exclusively. Try get a good amount of leafy and solid greens in to the mix. Cruciferous…

  • I have always found it very easy to eat below 1200 calories (and much lower too). For a week. Or two, or sometimes three or more. Then the ravenous hunger comes in when my body notices what's happening and adjusts to protect itself. Less inclination to move, more inclination to eat high calorie foods. And it's usually a…

  • Depends on whether your 'always go over carbs' means you always go over total calories too. If so yes. If not, no but then keep an eye on protein not going too low (unlikely given the macros you are aiming for but mentioning it just in case you are way off). Too low when losing would be lower than 1g per 1lb of lean body…

  • Hi, I'm finding it liberating to let go of some of the self imposed 'rules' I've had for so long and be open to learning what really suits me rather than what I believe should suit me.. Whatever pattern works for you that allows you to stay within your calorie and macro range eating relatively cleanly and enjoying it i,e.…

  • This is my very first post! I've been doing this for less than two weeks so can't really say if it works or not but I'm going the calorie cycling route with a 400 variation up and down from my average/target.. So I'm aiming for a weekly average of 1400 with the following pattern: Monday 1400 Tue 1400 Wed 1400 Thu 1000 Fri…
