Calorie Deficit and Body bugg



Recommended Posts

I have been using the body bugg for 1 month. I love the information that it gives me but here is the problem. My average calorie deficit a day is 800-1100 calories and I have not lost any weight. I take in about 1100-1300 calories a day. I usually burn about 2100 callories per day without exercise. 2400 with exercise. I heard that if you are closer to your goal you can have a large calorie deficit. Is that true. I weigh 168 and my goal is 145. please help.

I'm using the Bodymedia Fit, which is the same gadget as the Bodybugg, but also measures sleep quality. I also enjoy the info mine provides. Sometimes it takes a bit of sleuthing to figure out what's happening when things aren't quite going as you expect..

If all else is good with your diet and such, then it may be you've reached a kind of balance with your body. The calories you've taken in are balancing the amount you've burned each day, and the results are that you're not losing weight.

You may want to look at the calories you're eating, and what they're made up of. Maybe you're eating too much fat, sugar, or carbs, and not enough Protein. Maybe you're eating too many of the same kinds of things too often, and you need to shake up your diet a bit - kind of like the old "eat Breakfast for supper" trick. Maybe you've reached a balance in your exercise program, where muscle gained is equal to calories burned, and since there is less fat to burn off, your body is at a state of equality. Maybe you can change up your exercise routine to be something more than the same old thing, and hopefully burn some "new" calories, instead of the same "old" calories. :)

Good luck, and congratulations on your weight loss. You're doing really well!

I would think with that big of a deficit every day you would eventually go into starvation mode and stop losing. Have you tried eating a little more to mix it up a bit?

For me, i find the best way to start losing again is to shake it up for a few days. I would probably go to very little carbs under 20 grams per day just for a few days and see if that starts the weight moving again. I'm fond of switching from ww to Atkins when i am in serious want to lose weight mode and am giving it my all. good luck!:Banane23:

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
