Good for you! -- nm - lileve Oct 25, 08:55
that's great Loosilu!! -- nm - Epiphany Oct 25, 08:54
Good going. Is this change along with any change in exercise routine? Or diet alone? -- nm - con_carnage Oct 25, 08:40 3
- exercise was already significant. haven't added weights yet, but I should. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 08:45 2
  - all in due time, get accustomed to the diet change, introduce other things over time - ghouly Oct 25, 08:51 1
    - that's my thinking. I get seriously hungry after swimming. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 08:51
Is this 1500 calories a day or what? nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 25, 08:38 18
- yes. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 08:45 17
  - is that working out ok? - ghouly Oct 25, 08:49 16
    - splitting it up. still hungry if I stick to 1500 ( after burning 500-600 from swimming). MyFitnessPal tells me I have to add calories so I have to go - loosilu Oct 25, 08:51 8
      - if you are burning 500-600, I would bump the intake to 1800 or so. - ghouly Oct 25, 08:53 7
        
        this I learned watching Biggest Loser. Sometimes you need more calories to increase metabolism. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 25, 08:56 3
        
        your body is like a machine, it goes into cruise control when you maintain a similar pattern. - ghouly Oct 25, 08:59 1
        
        are you familiar with cyclic ketogenic diets? you eat low carb six days a week, then do one day of high carb. - loosilu Oct 25, 09:01
        
        yep, I do know that going too low is bad. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 08:57
        
        that's what I'm doing. I burn that much 6 days a week. There were a couple of evenings where I had a clear - loosilu Oct 25, 08:56 2
        
        my non FBI wanted doctor, has suggested a 1 to 1 ratio of carbs to protein..... - ghouly Oct 25, 08:58 1
        
        that's stage 1 of atkins. I've done it in the past. it's hard to do that if you do high cardio. - loosilu Oct 25, 09:00
    - sad thing is, i am back into the hungry stage. - tRuMaN Oct 25, 08:50 6
      - I told you, it takes 2 weeks to get adjusted to the reduced calories, and one day to blow it. - ghouly Oct 25, 08:52 5
        
        i get that, but i have been doing this for almost 2 years now. i have blown it on single days before with no issues - tRuMaN Oct 25, 08:53 4
        
        maybe you are not eating enough protein or fat? if those are too low, you will definitely feel hungry. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 08:56
        
        how about your daily fiber intake? maybe bump that up a bit. nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 25, 08:54 2
        
        the two protein bars i eat a day have a combined 32% of fiber, plus whatever i eat for lunch - tRuMaN Oct 25, 08:56 1
        
        what brand are they? -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 08:57
