[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How tall are you and how much do you weigh?  Have you ever tracked your calories on an app like MyFitnesspal? You don't have to cut fat or carbs, you can just eat less of them.

How about oatmeal instead of dried cereal and dried fruit? The water content, plus the fruit and nuts you alread had, can make it more filling.

Do you drink calories?[/quote]

OP here,

In my mind, cutting something is the same as eating less of it.  When I have my sandwich with 1 slice of bread instead of 2, or when I leave the potatoes out of my homemade soup, I cut the carbs in the meal.  Similarly, when I make a smoothie with nonfat greek yogurt and frozen fruit instead of a milkshake, I've just cut the fat.  Is this a semantic issue?

To be clear, I don't drink calories other than the aforementioned smoothie, and I don't happen to like oatmeal.  I'm satisfied with how I eat, and losing weight.  I'm just confused about how DCUM thinks I SHOULD eat.  Your post has confused me even further. [/quote]

Cut calories from all sources, not just carbs.

A lot of times, when people say they are cutting carbs, they increase the amount of fats and proteins.   If a woman was consuming 1200 calories per day, at approx. 30% fat, 30% protein, 40% carbs--then she changes her diets to 2,000 calories per day at 45% fat, 45% protein, 10% carbs, then she is not going to lose weight.[/quote]
