Thanks guys i think ill buy the hrm as most of you have agreed this is most accurate and in the meantime just use lightly active to work out tdee and then adjust when I get the hrm early next week. Do you guys recommend a particular one?

So if I try tdee should I put I'm lightly active 1-3 hours or moderate active 3-5 hours when I normally workout 5-6 hours a week? That's what I was initially trying to determine but maybe I asked it wrong or maybe as how others have said i need to get a hrm to determine and if I do that's fine I'm willing to get one

I was thinking of doing tdee to avoid having to insert excercise calories because everyone says that they are overestimated in my fitness pal and have read people saying heart rate monitors are not accurate either so I thought if I just enter how many times I excercise and it works it out for me then I don't have to worry…

When I do treadmill I normally walk at 6-6.5 with an incline of 5. I was thinking by doing tdee I wouldn't need a heart rate monitor and that's why I was thinking of maybe going that way cos i could just insert how many times I exercise but from what you have said maybe I still need to get one then.

Thanks that makes a lot of sense

Yes I'm aware that you don't log exercise because it is factored in to the calories they give you. Just wanted to know when working out tdee how many days should I say I'm exercising

I'm netting 1200 most days but I only have 3 kilos left to lose . Normally burn calories through excercise and I'm usually eating those back rather then netting under 1200. I'm losing weight on it and not finding it too difficult but if I didn't excercise to be able to eat more I think it would be tough as 1200 is not a lot

Yes definetetely excercising burning about 300 calories a session and looking at increasing intensity of excercise to burn more

Thanks guys for your responses. I think I'll try this for a week and see what happens if I put on ill cut a few more calories if I stay the same or lose then I'll keep to this until I reach 60 kilos or decide I want faster weight loss but for now I'm happy for it to come off slowly.

I did gluten free a couple months ago for a few weeks and when I ate gluten again I was sick for days after that though I was fine in the sense that I was no longer running to the toilet, stomach etc but I know I felt a lot better when I was off it( more energy, less mood swings, no fog brain) so considering going paleo…

You could try miracle noodles or we have smart pasta here in Australia which is like 10 calories a serve not sure if you guys have it there but if you have that or something similar that's also an option. Or else as others have said have one portion of real pasta. If its not enough add a salad or vegetables to your meal to…

I was in hospital the other week and saw the add for it and I'm like I need that. I hate those infomercials they suck you in so much. Luckily I didn't have my credit card so I didn't buy it. So much for needing it I hadn't even thought about it again till I saw your post. It did look good though and if you like soup it…

I put 3.5 kilos on and the start of the week just by having a slice of cheesecake and some chocolate. By Friday it was gone. Didn't do anything special but return to my normal eating

I've been gluten free for about a week now due to similar issues as you as we'll as very low iron levels. So far have not noticed much of a difference but we will see. I have however lost 3.5 kilos which I didn't have to lose as I'm trying to maintain my weight so that was an added bonus. I hope this is the answer for u

From Melbourne too

Thanks everyone that's what I'm thinking of doing just starting to eat this way and see how I feel. I don't need a doctor to tell me to stop grains if I feel better without them.

They did a blood test. Going to see a gastric specialist tomorrow as the gp I have been seeing cant find anything wrong with me. Saying that they ave found lots of stuff but keep saying they aren't related to he issues in having. I'll ask the specialist if he can do an endoscopy as well. I just figured eating paleo should…

Usually smoothies with almond milk if I don't feel like eggs

I've done heaps- weight watchers, celebrity slim, 8 hour diet, Atkins, paleo, tried being vegan just to lose weight, gluten free just to lose weight, naturally thin, carbohydrate attics diet and probably a lot more that I can't think of. The only ones that I lasted on long enough to get to goal weight were weight watchers…

I consider binge eating when I can't stop eating and feel out of control of my eating. In the binge though I feel extremely hungry and nothing I eat seems to feel me up so I keep eating and eating everything in site. I feel like I have lost all control and all I can think about is my next fix of food and how I'm going to…

I'm not paleo but have read a lot about it and you can eat fruit on paleo

Headaches are normal when you give up sugar as unfortunately they are part of the withdrawal process

I get a slice of pita bread cut it up like chips season it with whatever seasoning I'm wanting at the time then bake it. It comes out nice and crunchy and great to use instead of chips with dips.

My 6 year old loves to do it with me. It's just fun for her though and she gets a laugh out of if. She does not do it to lose weight

Peanut butter and coffee smoothie- great for when you need that coffee fix 1 frozen banana Handful of spinach 150ml almond milk 1tsp peanut butter/almond butter 1tsp coffee/decaf

I recommend the dont go hungry diet it's a book about intuitive eating.

I have the same breakfast daily and the same lunch on weekdays and then just vary dinners

I ate this way for a week and put on 2 kilos. I was not counting calories though so what I suggest is if you are going to eat this way continue to count calories as well. Good luck

Most days I have oats with half a banana and blueberries in it. If I'm particularly hungry I might also have a smoothie but that is rare. I'm the type of person that craves the same things day in day out

This happened to me yesterday as we had friends over and I are a bit too much. I called it a maintenance day so ate my maintenance calories and then did a 30 min workout and had calories left for dinner. Got on the scale this morning and no weight change yay. Don't call it a cheat day cos then it can turn into a binge and…
