Increased calories=weight loss



Recommended Posts

Some days i struggle to get my Protein and liquid intake, but on good days i eat every 3 hours, i eat protein first, add in some healthy carbs, and a smidgen of fat. I noticed i lose more inches and weight when eat more frequently and have one to two higher calorie items a week, not calorie bombs but more then normal 150-200 calories. Just thought i would share, especially those of us with severe binge eating issues, the eating healthy every few hours is physically and mentally satisfying

I know isn't that weird?? I sometimes think that I am being to strict and not eating enough... And somedays, Like today I've just had Water and a Protein Shake for breakfast.. Time just gets away from me and it's not good. But in the few days that I have eaten "well" bam weight loss!

Talk about a mind f**k!

It is. Even when i get scared of carbs and sugar, my inner godess is like "no sarah, moderation will accelerate weight loss" and i get calm. I still have nightmares sometimes that im downing a pint of haagen daaz...i dont ever want to go back to that way of eating again

Yeah i think its all about tricking the body and keeping it on its toes. If u up ur calories when ur body least expects it u will lose weight. Once u have stabilized hr caloric intake for a long period then the body gets used to it and doesnt want to release any weight

Sometimes instead of fat free everything, i take one small serving of the full fat version. Ex, Peanut Butter, sour cream, or a dash of half in half, but only in moderation

Remember guys... When having a very low caloric intake ur body thinks its starving. So it holds on to fat for energy. That's why u lose weight when ur intake is better. And of course Protein and Water are needed for all process in our bodies.

How about just having a full day of indulging. Like I said dont over do it and make urself sick but splurge for a full day on things that taste good but may be high calorie. This ought to get ur body confused.

Ok I'm going to jump in a minute! Adding extra calories doesn't necessarily mean high fat ice cream type foods.. It could be just adding an extra snack like some nuts or a piece of cheese etc...

I say that because at this point (early stage of weight loss) for me at least eating ice cream would be a slippery slope.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
