[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cabbage soup? 1100 calories? Dear god.

It's barely a plateau. If you have been at it for a month, who knows where you are in your cycle and normal, temporary weight gain.

Add in some more activity because it is good for you, but be patient.

It will keep coming off.[/quote]

1100 calories sounds very extreme to me (the PP who wrote the comment about weighing food) but I am 5’1” a little over 100 lbs and to maintain my weight all I need is 1400-1500 calories a day. If you’re short like me then your daily caloric needs will be much lower than the average adult woman or man.

One thing that really helps me with weight loss/maintenance is to prioritize protein and fat (full fat dairy/yogurt, cheese, etc) because you will actually feel satiated after eating those.

Exercise is rarely an efficient or effective way to lose weight. It takes a lot more exercise to burn even 100 calories than most people think and you will be hungrier after which makes it harder to stick to a diet (or daily calorie goal). The saying “you can’t outrun a bad diet” is true, especially if you are not accurately tracking. Most people are awful at tracking calories[/quote]
