And believe me, even if you are eating more calories, you will still lose weight. Sheryl has lost over 30lbs. So obviously, this works. And believe me, Steve knows what he's talking about. I would take his advice seriously. It's ok if you only eat 1000 calories sometimes, but doing it consistantly will bring your weight loss to a halt b/c your body will go into starvation mode and your metabolism will slow down. There is a very good sticky you should read in the Harsh Truth section. It the first sticky: 5 Ways to Gain Fat. Excellent. I printed it out and keep it close at hand.
Thanks for the advice.
I will look into and I will also check out Sheryl's diary.
Though there probably is no way that I would be able to workout 2-2.5 hours a day. I just don't have that kinda time or the desire to work out for that long. At least not yet. Mostly because of the old job and doing it for 2 1/2 years.
Now if I was doing my old job that would be me "working out" for 8 hours because that is how labor intensive the job was. But that is no longer the scenario. So I will go with what I can do when I can do it.
Thanks
Bellaryna
