I burn 2500 calories just to keep this body existing (I had a metacheck test done) If I were doing NO exercise I would need to eat between 1600-2000 calories but I burn an ADDITIONAL 4200 calories per week in addition to what it takes for me to merely exist.<br /><br />As I said in the post, my recommended calories for what I burn are between 2100-2400ish and I was burning more than what I set my goal at and eating less (1900 cal average). While it sounds like that would be the way to go, it's not which is why so many people starve themselves or restrict their calories too far and then wonder why they're not losing weight.<br /><br />I've studied this, I know it and yet I somehow thought it no longer applied to me. It's what I've been losing on for years (actually a higher calorie range) so I know it works. Now if I continue to lose nothing the next two weeks then I'm back to the old pills because I definitely do feel puffier on this than I did on the other stuff and that's not cool.<br /><br />Hope that helps explain it.Anele @ Success Along the Weighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03986921867517926199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-17336375881654402612011-05-31T14:24:38.267-04:002011-05-31T14:24:38.267-04:00I've been so lucky with my BC, I had no idea h...I've been so lucky with my BC, I had no idea how grateful I should be for that until I started reading about all the trouble other people have had.<br /><br />I'm not sure how to ask this without sounding negative - I'm not trying to be, but I don't understand. You are going to increase calories and decrease exercise hoping to break your plateau. Sounds counter- intuitive, but I follow so far. You are also going to cut high cal days back to 2 per month, meaning less total calories. Won't eating more during the week and less on weekends just cancel each other out?another layerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15756727485274694135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-46470081218697692262011-05-30T17:07:05.205-04:002011-05-30T17:07:05.205-04:00I know how you feel, girl.

My doc just took out my IUD last week and I'm on a low-estrogen pill now to see if it'll regulate my estrogen (which is way too high and causing mass problems). Here's to smooth faces and smooth moods!

Yeah yeah it might not be healthy but at least I'm sane and somewhat nice for the entire month. Prior to that I had PMS, DMS and AMD- pre, during, afer - lucky I had any friends lol. <br /><br />Sorry you weren't able to taste your food--that sux when you indulge and don't enjoy. I'm planning a restart in June --pretty much starting from scratch with the workouts and food since its been a month from hades and I have not gotten my workouts in or my food logged. That will all change :)Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13952196768459561867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-89226269933795391272011-05-28T19:26:35.751-04:002011-05-28T19:26:35.751-04:00Yep, I've had to learn the hard way TWICE, tha...Yep, I've had to learn the hard way TWICE, that you can't burn more and eat less.

I think that and cutting back a bit on high cal days should warrant some results.MrBeachBumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10627151756099231865noreply@blogger.com
