[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 50 lbs to lose and am finally on a program that works (with a doctor.) But at 1500 calories a day, I am so surprised that people eat like this every day for their entire lives. 2 glasses of wine or one dessert and you have eaten so many of your calories already!! If you are a normal weight, moderately fit person, do you eat 1500 a day? What do you do at a big fancy restaurant meal or some other special event? Do you never eat pancakes or a bagel? Or a big bowl of pasta at a delicious Italian restaurant? I need to reset my entire approach to portions, etc. I'm not that hungry on the 1500 cause it's high protein. I'm just wondering how it's sustainable. [/quote] To address each of your questions - I eat more than 1500 calories a day - probably closer to 2000 or even 2200 I eat what I want at restaurants and other special events. However, I compensate for that in the days surrounding that event - it's not an everyday thing. I love pancakes and bagels, but don't eat them often. Yes, absolutely pasta at Italian restaurants. It's sustainable because it's a change in your overall mindset and way of thinking about food. BTW, I'm a registered dietitian so if you have any specific questions, I'm happy to try to help. Kudos for taking the first steps![/quote]
