"What got you here won't get you there."

I think 1-2 pounds a week is ideal. More than that and it will come back quickly - it's not sustained.

Good luck.

Be careful going too low with calories this far out. Our bodies go into starvation mode after awhile and will have to start burning muscle to run our basic functions because there aren't enough calories being consumed to keep us going (our brains need 300-600 calories by themselves!). After awhile, if we go "off" that super low calorie diet, our bodies freak out and hold on to all the extra because it doesn't know when we will feed it enough calories again. I wouldn't be going under 1200, especially if doing some sort of exercise.
You should figure out your basal metabolic rate (the number of calories my body burns if I stayed in bed all day and did nothing but breathe and blink) and eat about 300 calories under that to safely lose weight.
For example, I'm 5'7" and weigh 165, female 40 years old, and the calculator gives me a BMR of 1,500 calories. I don't count calories at 14 years out, but I must stay in a pretty good range because my weight is pretty stable.

I have regained weight too. I need help.

Over the past 5 years I’ve steadily gained 40 pounds. The last 3 months I’ve gone back to basics and following the rules and abandoning the bad habits I’d developed.
question is how fast should I expect the weight to come back off? I’m down 15 pounds in 3 months. Stalling last 3 weeks
calories 800carb50 net carb 30
exercise 15-20 min a day?

I am surely eating the wrong foods as I am taking in about 3000 calories per day.

I have 40 pounds of regain to lose that I’ve gained over the last 4-5 years .....
question is I’m going back to the basics of measuring everything journaling
cal 800 carbs 50 sugar 25
anyone have problems with getting the regain back off ???

Happy to report that almost 3 months later i am down 30 and BMI is 29.99. lol. i’ll take that and say i am back to being “only” overweight. i really was feeling hopeless and ready to give up. getting off
sugar and doing intermittent fasting has changed my life!

Is there a reason why your keeping your calories above 1000 ? I’d be concerned unless your burning it off with exercise ... just because you can eat that much doesn’t mean you should... I’m not saying this in a negative way... but it could catch up with you....you don’t want to stretch your baby... you’ve been they too much !

This is my first post. I had RNY on Oct 18, 2018. I'm down 37 pounds since surgery, so I'm quite happy with the loss. Following my programs plan, I'm still at the soft food stage. I am both delighted and terrified as to the amount of food I can eat. I'm eating more than my share of Protein first, but find that I can eat a whole lot of it. I'm diligently keeping track of my food and am seeing that I have to be quite careful to keep my calories under 1500. I am regularly eating between 1100-1300 calories. I've stopped having protein supplements all together as I'm getting in all my protein through regular food: eggs, fish, prawns, cheese, Beans, etc. Might anyone else be in this same boat? Should I be worried about the quantities I'm able to consume so early on? If I can eat this much now, will I be able to eat a whole lot more down the line?

I had to weaken my shakes with Water or sometimes is use almond milk

This sounds really good - and easy! I am headed to grocery tomorrow to grab few items to finish out my "mushy food" week. I read the nutrition facts on this - - really 960 calories?? That seems like a lot for one serving.
*Edit update** I found other nutritional information on this site - 88 calories, 3.3 carbs, 9.2 Protein, 4 fat - DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THE SERVING SIZE IS?

He doesn’t push any product or anything in the video. Like i previously said it’s really informative. Check it out....

Does anyone have difficulty taking Vitamins with Iron after surgery causing severe Constipation?
any recommendations or suggestions? I’m currently taking the one a day capsule with iron on a full stomach with lots of Water? ??
