[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am 44 and 5’6” and my body wants to weigh between 155-160. My doctor wants to see me under 150 since my BMI is on the upper end. I can lose the weight in 6-8 weeks by doing intermittent fasting and not eating more than 1300 calories per day, but the problem is that then it just creeps back up to 155-160 over the next 6-8 weeks.

I already work out 4 days per week and eat very healthy most of the time - lean protein, not many carbs, little sugar, tons of vegetables and some fruit. I drink maybe 2 glasses of wine per week total. Don’t drink any beverages with sugar. Don’t eat a ton of processed foods. I just don’t want to count calories for the rest of my life.

After being so good for a couple months I was down to 148. Last night went to a BBQ where I ate BBq chicken, salad, grilled veggies, plus maybe 10 chips with some guacamole and a small piece of pie. This morning the scale says 153!!! I know there are normal fluctuations but did I really gain 5 lbs overnight with one cheat meal?

Anyone have advice for maintaining weight loss?[/quote]

Get a new doctor. A good doctor knows that bmi is BS, especially for people who workout regularly. You workout 4 days/week, eat healthy food, and barely drink. Your body is the weight it wants to be. Keep up with your healthy living lifestyle and you’re good. [/quote]
