I was wondering if anyone can tell me if I am gaining b/c I am not eating enough....I know we have to eat 1200 calories per day to keep our bodies from going into starvation mode but I do not understand Net Calories. I noticed that the Net calories are not equaling 1200 calories and I was wondering if that may be the…

My doctor told me to cut out that stuff too. No breads, potatoes, rice, those sorts of things...that being said it sounds like you are pretty active and the more active life styles tend to need more energy to help the body repair muscles from those work outs....I am a lot less active, due to medical conditions, and he told…

I have lost 320 sticks of butter so far! Wow! Thanks for posting this. It really is a motivator.

I do not agree with your doctor. I am morbidly obese and currently 300lbs and my doctor has told me that anything less than 1200 calories a day and your body thinks it is starving and will convert the energy to fat thinking it needs to save the calories.
