I eat 2000 calories per day. Before, I'd probably eat 5000 or more. I can cut it down, but I thought that much lower than this would potentially slow down weight loss? I can do 1000 calories per day, if you guys think I should.
I'm able to lose about 5 pounds per week lifting three times per week, walking an hour per day, and eating 2000 calories per day. I can also walk more, if you guys think that would help, but isn't there some point at which you simply can't do more and need to be patient? What is that point?
I eat at least 3 cups per day of leafy veggies, but am limiting that right now to keep carbs down. In the future, I plan on eating at least 8 servings per day of fruits and vegetables.
My meals before were meat and potatoes type meals, or pasta, but I'd just eat way too much. I'd eat 2000 to 3000 calories in one setting for my evening meal.
I'm doing several of the tricks I've read about (sitting down and eating ONLY at the dinner table, using a smaller plate, using a smaller fork, setting my fork down between bites, eating several smaller meals, turning off the tv, etc. etc.) to help lower food intake, as well as modifying what I eat.
I didn't exercise for years, had a lot of stress in my life, and slept about 5 hours per night for many years. I ended up with Sleep Apnea so that I didn't get good rest for even the few hours I was sleeping. In my sleep study, I woke up on average about 1.5 times per minute in a four hour period.
All of these things add up.
Also, in High School to lose weight, I would eat only an apple or two a day for weeks at a time. I'd also walk 3+ hours per day. I probably fubared my metabolism.
If only someone could have told me to simply start strength training back then.
My primary goal now is to get to a healthier weight and to heal. I also want to build lots of muscle, but I realized that having lots of muscle is pretty pointless if you die of complications related to obesity. I'll make muscle building my primary goal once I am healthy.</div>
Keep doing what your doing calorie-wise, just walk and move even more. Something that helped me move more was to buy my food everyday and walk to the store every day. pick a store or two of them that are far enough so that you get a good 3 km. I went days on end with caloric deficites well above 1500-2000 and felt fine.
