There is no man out there who should eat less than 1500 calories a day! <BR/><BR/>My boyfriend is hardcore CR'd (for life-extension purposes, not weight loss) and eats 1843 calories a day, all perfectly weighed and measured. He's a Zone-head, so he eats P:C:F 30:40:30. But at those calories, and I remind you, perfectly weighed and measured, every bite (we are so cute with our little scales!) he has a BMI of 15.6. Now he is naturally skinny, and was thin before he started CR (back when he ate whole pizzas and such!) but point being, no man, unless he is five feet tall, should be eating less than 1500 a day. <BR/><BR/>Now on the other hand, if you're 5'2" like me and female, you might find that you can hold a slim but not skinny weight on less. I've been averaging 1300 and holding 102 with no hunger (except right before meals, of course!)... just putting effort into getting optimal nutrition. I just dropped down to 1150 and am doing well. I cut down on carbs, btw, when I cut calories. Kept my protein the same and upped my fat (all unsaturated sources) a little. Love those almonds... Pre-CR, I weighed 137. Found that by upping my protein, cutting down on carbs (bye bye bagels!) and upping my unsaturated fats (flax oil, olive oil, almonds, hazelnuts) I was able to lose weight, and eat many fewer calories without feeling hungry or all those other horrible things I used to feel on a high carb, lowfat diet. <BR/><BR/>Did you read about the Bernstein diet? People falling over fainting on that one cause they're not eating enough! <BR/><BR/>Do you use nutritional software? I think it is so much fun!!! It's like my favorie videogame. If I didn't have to work, I'd probably play with it all day, like those people who used to get addicted to Tetris!<BR/><BR/>aAprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17869543039583537245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-1136987206270015452006-01-11T08:46:00.000-05:002006-01-11T08:46:00.000-05:00Oh, I see what you are saying.

It's a bloody miracle anybody is buying this crap!<BR/><BR/>BTW: the proper category to suggest to Amazon for this book is "pseudoscience" or perhaps "horror". Don't suggest "Science Fiction" as that would be an insult to some great authors in that genre.Science4u1959https://www.blogger.com/profile/14032931049767819624noreply@blogger.com
