[quote=Anonymous]I think this is probably because you're dieting too hard.

I am very good at being careful about what I eat, and like to excercise, but was always frustrated because as I've aged, weight loss has gone slower and slower, I would have days and days of fantastic eating and then would binge and it would all come back.

Then I got on Noom and actually started tracking how much activity I was doing and what I was eating. I was right that I was eating pretty healthy—it wasn't hard for me to work out a 1500-1600 calorie a day diet, but what I didn't realize until I saw it charted out on the app, is that as a large man, and one who is quite active, I was actually coming in TOO LOW.

My body was hanging onto fat because my intake was too low, my activity was causing cravings and when I indulged them my body would store it all away as fat.

I had heard the theory and didn't really believe it, but when out of frustration I gave it a shot and started adding a small bowl of ice cream at the end of the day, which brought my daily calorie intake up by several hundred, but still kept it at the low end of an appropriate weight loss range (even without activity) the weight started dropping.

I'm not actually an ice cream fan, so I started giving myself late night snacks of protein that I like, like grilled chicken or eggs. It's going well.[/quote]
