i don't agree with his "eat less to lose more" does not work. I think it does work and I think it works fabulously. However, what I DO agree with is Mix it up....our bodies do get in ruts, and used to things and resist what we are doing. I agree that being ready to change and tweak and move to a different method is probably the healthiest thing of all. Because with our ever changing hormones, as age, as we go through different stages in life...we change....and so the way we do things must change. Especially how we eat.

I think for some people eating less is very very low, and I do find that that does not work; in the long run anyway; the idea of less as in portion control does!

Good work visiting with an endocrinologist. I agree with you about people who eat very very low calorie diets - our body will adjust to smaller amounts and our metabolism will slow down. Eating less calories overall broken down into five or six mini meals will push the metabolism forward! Good luck and congrats on the 50 pound loss.

Too low of calories will not work and keep you healthy. My plan of eating nutrient dense foods, limiting calories and exercise has worked for me.. 50+ pounds less and feeling terrific... good luck with your doc, it helps a lot if you like him and feel good about working with him.

Good going Tulip.... 50 lbs and counting :). Keep it up. I totally agree about mixing it up. I am experimenting with more carbs a few days a week while keeping it under 100 and staying within my RDI. I am still losing inches even though pounds are slowly descending. I am fine with that :)

I agree with the adage. The KINDS of foods we consume certainly make a difference. Blood work is good. I repeat: blood work is good. So glad you experienced a productive and informative doctor's visit. Sounds as if you are on your way to Success City. Let's enjoy the trip. Fat Secret HUGS for you Kiddo!
