Hadn't heard anything on it, but I'll read up on it. The reality for weight loss is, lower food intake or correctly intake the right foods (don't read too much into that you jokesters) and exercise. Each person is different of course, but it's a simple mathematical solution really. Body burns calories/energy, body takes in energy. If intake > output, weight will increase. For the most part, the body will regulate itself, when it's thrown out of whack or the metabolism isn't maintained that's when health things start to pop up.
see, he lost like 65 pounds last year- in just a few months- I just started counting his calories. THEN we hit a plateau- just the normal ones you hit- well it lasted for about 3 months- always within a 3-5 lb range for 3 months. he got frusterated. I got REALLY frusterated, cause I HATE diet food, and have to cook 6 meals a day- 3 for him (plus snacks) and 3 for the kids, -
anyway- we lowered his calories from 1600 to 1200. and he started gaining weight. so I lowerd to 1000. he gained MORe weight. and was starving. LOL
he is not quite as big as he was- and we switched over to the south beach diet. But we are simple country folks. I dont even know what mia mia is, or mika mika or whatever.. and salmon, and quiche, and all that is way out of my 'care to learn to cook' repritore.
He is on about 1300 calories a day, and is not loosing weight. plus he is getting SO tired of it. He hates it. and is starting to eat food he shouldnt. because he is tired of broiled chicken and baked fish. and I have lost so dadgum much weight I can fit into my 12 year olds overalls. and wear their jeans as capri's. LOL
and he works about 16-17 hours a day- there is not alot of time for energy output. He used to work out all the time- but that was with a differnt job, and even when he could bench 350 he was what some considered overweight.
