Kaiser Sleevers, I Need You!

You know' date=' I think each NUT has their own recommendations, but for the longest time I was at about 800 calories, and 60-90 grams of Protein and maybe 90 carbs, but I had to tweak it to keep losing...after 4 months increased calories to 1000 but lowered my carbs to under 50 grams. The sage advice I got here on this forum helped me see that the most effective weight loss strategy is low carbing. I will increase my carbs once I make goal. Of course I go off plan at times and allow a splurge, but I go back to plan right away. By tracking your food, calories, Protein, liquid, carbs you can see what works for YOU. Right now six months out I am eating around 1000-1200 calories and under 40 grams of carbs.[/quote']

Good job. I agree that low carb is very effective.

What exactly is the kaiser program the you refer to in this thread if you don't mind me asking. It is a bit different from the plan I am following which does not have a particular name. My plan is basically eat low carb, minimal sugar and low fat 5-6 times a day with getting above and beyond 64 oz Water and 80 gram Protein. Most of these rules come from my NUT. I have been following it without deviation. I do get hungry more now especially between meal 4 and 5. Other than that, it is not too hard to follow.

Sounds much like my united health plan. However, the nutritional guidance sounds a bit different. I guess that is to be expected.
