[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eat less.  A lot less.  That is how I’m losing weight.

-5’3, 195 (was 205 6 weeks ago)[/quote]

OP here. I was [b]essentially[/b] eating one meal a day, and that meal was very light and lean. I could not eat less without going to a complete liquid diet.[/quote]

What does "essentially" mean?

On the initial plan you were losing a lb a week. That's loss. I'm sorry you felt discouraged by the pace, but if you had stuck with that, you'd still be losing. At your weight and age I'm guessing you have a very high percentage of body fat, and as a result your TDEE is probably much lower than it had been in your younger years. [/quote]

True. And yes, but I’ve also heard that you lose a lot earlier on because you have a lot to lose. I just don’t understand how I can not eat very much at all, but not drop weight faster. People say they lose 10# a month doing a similar diet.

When I eat 2 meals a day, mostly cooked vegetables and some low sugar fruits and lean protein, I am eating 1200-1500 calories a day. With my high body fat TDEE, that's a daily deficit of 400 calories a day, which is less an a pound a week. I think you don't understand how low your TDEE is given your body composition, and how many calories you're still eating eating very light and lean. [/quote]
