Increased calories=weight loss



Recommended Posts

Some days i struggle to get my Protein and liquid intake, but on good days i eat every 3 hours, i eat protein first, add in some healthy carbs, and a smidgen of fat. I noticed i lose more inches and weight when eat more frequently and have one to two higher calorie items a week, not calorie bombs but more then normal 150-200 calories. Just thought i would share, especially those of us with severe binge eating issues, the eating healthy every few hours is physically and mentally satisfying

I know isn't that weird?? I sometimes think that I am being to strict and not eating enough... And somedays, Like today I've just had Water and a Protein Shake for breakfast.. Time just gets away from me and it's not good. But in the few days that I have eaten "well" bam weight loss!

Talk about a mind f**k!

It is. Even when i get scared of carbs and sugar, my inner godess is like "no sarah, moderation will accelerate weight loss" and i get calm. I still have nightmares sometimes that im downing a pint of haagen daaz...i dont ever want to go back to that way of eating again

Yeah i think its all about tricking the body and keeping it on its toes. If u up ur calories when ur body least expects it u will lose weight. Once u have stabilized hr caloric intake for a long period then the body gets used to it and doesnt want to release any weight

Sometimes instead of fat free everything, i take one small serving of the full fat version. Ex, Peanut Butter, sour cream, or a dash of half in half, but only in moderation

Remember guys... When having a very low caloric intake ur body thinks its starving. So it holds on to fat for energy. That's why u lose weight when ur intake is better. And of course Protein and Water are needed for all process in our bodies.

How about just having a full day of indulging. Like I said dont over do it and make urself sick but splurge for a full day on things that taste good but may be high calorie. This ought to get ur body confused.

Ok I'm going to jump in a minute! Adding extra calories doesn't necessarily mean high fat ice cream type foods.. It could be just adding an extra snack like some nuts or a piece of cheese etc...

I say that because at this point (early stage of weight loss) for me at least eating ice cream would be a slippery slope.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
