This diet crap sucks!!

[jenscats5]

You are supposed to have several small servings thru-out the day not starve yourself that aint healthy,besides that fools your body thinking its in a starvation mode so when you do eat it hordes calories & fat like a sponge , then you gain more weight than what you previously lost(Thats where it got the name yo-yo diet)

That's what I am doing.....

but I've been trying to decrease my portions and try to keep my calories around 1,600 per day and am reducing my carbs to about 100g per day, protein at about 1.5x my bodyweight, etc etc....

But I'm still hungry!!!!!!!

no coffee? no diet soda?


what the hell kind of diet is that?

Well, no caffeine, the cofee & soda have caffeine, soda has the citric acid or whatever it is, plus in my coffee I need to use milk &/or creamer & milk/creamer has sugar which I can't have, and since I can't have sugar I can't have catsup on my eggs, or the cereal I like, the low carb ww tortillas I bought have hydrogenated oil in them.......blah blah blah

But I want to drop some bf cuz I think I have some pudge, so I'm tweaking my diet and it just SUCKS!!

I'd listen to your body. I went into starvation mode on 2500 kcal a day (of course i was doing 1000 kcal in cardio 5x a week and taking 12.5mcg T3 at the time, plus im a muscular male), but now that im on 3100 kcal a day dieting is alot easier. on 2500 kcal i would alternate between feeling wired and lethargic, i would dream about food and obsess over it, etc. i wont lose as much weight as fast on 3100 kcal but its alot less painful now.

Well it keeps saying it wants pretzels.....mmmmm Rold Gold Honey Wheat Braided Twists.....

I don't know......I wish someone could just tell me what to eat.....how many calories, etc cuz I just can't figure this out on my own....

learn to drink your coffee black. it's better that way. trust me. a few years ago, i ran out of milk and sugar and forgot to get more. had to suffer through black coffee. i forgot again that night, so day 2, same deal. by day 3, however, i didn't think it was too bad. been a few years now and i always have it black or occasionally with flavored creamer.

if i count my shakes as meals, i'm up around 7 meals a day. i'd say i'm probably hitting 240g of protein a day. not double BW for me (about 165lbs right now) but it's enough to grow on.

same here. im afraid if i cut too low my body will go into starvation mode, i will be in diet hell, burn tons of muscle and screw my biochemistry to make me more fat than i was to begin with.

on the other hand i'm afraid if i increase calories weight loss will either stop or slow to a crawl.

Ugh, black coffee...... I'd rather do without!! I want to get some of that SF Davinci flavored syrups when they go on sale again.....see how they taste....

So far today I have 165g protein (I weigh about 135 maybe a little more), 98g carb, 17g fiber....

Yep, exactly.........I joined another site where you post what you eat everyday and they critique it......since I can't eat the same things every day again & again, I'm seeing what changes I need to make...

So far I've been told: less than 100g carbs per day NOT including fiber , 1.5x bodyweight in protein, no caffeine, no sugar, no Diet Sodas, no milk, increase fats, max 30g protein in every meal, good fats in every meal, carbs in meals vary per day.

So far, I'm not doing anything right......
