I am trying to eat my BMR + exercise calories, which puts me around 1350 net. This is a change from my previous 1200. I still havent started losing, I will give it some time before deciding whether to go up or down (scared to go up!). I agree we should al be eating at least our BMR...

Hey, I'm an ER doc, so my work schedule varies. I try to change my window accordingly. I have found for some reason that once I start eating it is harder for me to fast. Psychologically it seems to work better for me to wake up fasting. So for my overnights when doing ESE I will eat in the am, go to bed, fast all night,…
-
Asjerven, you're right. The leangains method involves a daily 8-10 hour eating window, although some people occasionally skip days. ESE involves not eating for about 24 hours 1-2 times per week. Then there are other variations on the theme, such as fast 5, which only gives you a 5 hour eating window. The advantage of…

Yeah, and I like to have huge vegetable stir fries with chicken and kelp or tofu shirataki noodles. Delicious at about 300-400 cals. I wish I could find a reliable lunch transport for soup...

Do you eat exercise cals too? I am stuck like kiss but have similar stats and goals as well, tried 1350 with exercise cals for 2 weeks (though under goal), then tried not eating exercise cals, now trying to go back to at least eating cardio cals

Hey, I am also unsure about my cals, I'm going to try my BMR + exercise cals from cardio only (won't eat strength cals because of the article suggesting the HRM is inaccurate) for three weeks I will also copy you and try to make 75% of my carbs from fruits and veggies. I will allow a serving of rice or popcorn no more than…
-
Are you gaining or just not losing? Maybe try eating at your BMR + exercise cals for a while? I can't help too much as I am also not moving much, my problem seems to be mainly water rentention, though. Good luck to you...

Actually ESE is 1-2 24 hr fasts a week. A daily eating window is characteristic of leangains, which is an 8-10hr window (see www.leangains.com). Both are forms of Intermittent fasting. I was not consistent these 2 weeks. Lemme think and come back...

you need to be examined. A lot of people ignore rectal bleeding because it's often hemorrhoids or anal fissures, but it absolutely can be something serious, even rectal cancer. I have diagnosed people with advanced disease that is untreatable for this reason. Please don't solicit medical advice on the internet. I would…

Jenomaha for what it's worth I think your abs look fabulous and your body percentage is ideal, in any case your goal is coming up fast, so congrats! I need to rethink things, I'm unsure of what to do with my calories but all the water retention is making it hard to figure out what works! I'm a little lost but short of…

Alright this week dairy is out! I'm doing ok on calories, protein, and sugar. I could use a little less fruit probably but I really think the water retention I have is dairy related, so it is out! :angry:

Joining for tips! I'm 5'3 and about 123 at this point. I was down to 116-118 not long ago, but since I started lifting heavy my weight went up and hasn't gone back down, so I am working on that. I started off with 30 day shred and beach body programs, now I do graduated weight training 3x a week, and turbo…
-
Great work, you look amazing! Can we just talk for a second about how awesome Jillian is? She was my gateway to fitness. I picked up 30 day shred on a whim one day, I tried to quit it like I usually do everything else but she wouldn't let me :laugh:.Ttwo years later I'm addicted to fitness and doing things I never dreamed…

would definitely increase your protein and decrease simple carbs, which mainly promote hunger. I am also a big fan of planning out the day. Others may not agree with me, but I like to do leangains for this reason, which is intermittent fasting 14-16 hours overnight with a 8-10 hour eating window. Then I can eat way more…
-
Sounds like everyone is doing great! I agree with you asjerven, it's like your day has to be completely clean to get your protein in without going over on everything else. I am doing ok, no more relapses since the cool doritos incident. I am fasting for 24 hours, only 8 hours to go (on an overnight shift). Hopefully I will…
-
I agree it's more concisely explained in the eat stop eat ebook, though the lean gains author makes mention in his articles. http://www.leangains.com/search/label/Articles. The benefits involve up regulating fat burning enzymes (which makes sense since your body is getting ready to use them for reserves), increasing…

if that is you currently in your profile pic, you are way done! You look very skinny!
-
Ok I am on my overnight shift and starving, the only thing around was chips, so I ate some. I confess! I made myself count extra cals for it :cry:
-
Congrats, sunshine- I'm sure you chose a nice proteinaceous meal at the restaurant. I haven't had any sugar except what is in fruit so far an though I picked up a bag of chips at the store I put it down. I did eat a sample tortilla chip at the store cause I forgot :embarassed: doing well on calories, I think I'm better off…

Seems like you have been getting some good advice. Tachycardia is not a disease, it's a symptom. As others said, it can happen from exercise, drugs, hyperthyroidism, infection, stress/anxiety, dehydration, arrhythmias, etc. As an ER doc I can say the others are right about getting concerned if you get chest pain or…
-
Omg I know how you feel! My hubby is Jamaican and it's all about coconut rice and rice and peas, neither of which I can resist! I'm sort of happy when he is out of town or makes wheat dumplings (which I'm allergic to) instead. I haven't figured out how to eat less of it, so I've just been budgeting for it. Regular rice I…
-
I agreed. This article tries to use weak, correlative data to disprove the gold standard. Increased treatment of a population and looking at whether the incidence of a disease increases or decreases has so confounders compared to taking two similar populations and treating or not treating them. Heart disease has been on…

You do look wonderful! Love the toned little tushie.

Binges happen. I would just consider it a spike calorie day, or fast for the rest of the day to reset your system. As for the "no time to exercise", I used to buy into, but I don't anymore. You have to MAKE time to exercise. When I was in college I said I don't have time. Now I am finishing up my medical residency, which…

I'm not trying to hijack your thread, but Lustig is largely concerned with table sugar, high fructose corn syrup, and fruit juice, not whole fruits. I am going to watch his whole video but from the literature it seems clear that purified fructose, not whole fruit, is the villain. I challenge anyone to get fat off of a…
-
I agree with most of what you said, although the research on fruit being bad is wanting. I'm never going to be 100% Paleo/primal, largely because of 3 things: -popcorn -corn tortillas - rice But I do try to limit them. I had to give up wheat and most dairy secondary to an intolerance so I'm not in a rush to toss out the…
-
Hey, it's not impossible, just takes a lot of planning. I'm sure you will rock it out doing KISS tonight I am wondering if I can change my challenge for these 2 weeks. What I would like to do is eat at the higher calorie level but NOT eat exercise calories. It will also help me scale back on my cardio since it won't be…
-
Thanks for doing this. I'm Melissa, I'm 5'3 and I inexplicably weigh 124 today but have the same measurements as when I was 119 (gain seemed to start when I was weight training). Anyway, I still want to try for the teens again. I started 6/1, but I already screwed up the first one so I am starting over today. I'm moving to…

Here is a list of supplements that I believe help with weight loss and that I incorporate 1. Calcium has been shown to favor fat burning, as has vitamin D. In fact, many obese people are vitaminD deficient. I supplement with both of these http://www.webmd.com/diet/news/20000417/calcium-low-fat-diet…
