Update
I found an article that detailed, among other things, the complexities of going into starvation mode. I had also undercalced my BMR by about 1000 calores per day, hence I am not eating enough.
The rule of thumb is to eat a minimum of your BMR in calories, and use only your activity calories as a deficit.
It also suggested that under normal conditions a male can loose about 2-3 lbs a week in body fat, and a woman a little less like 1-2.
So for me I should have a deficit every week of 7000-10500 calories instead of the 21000.
Another big portion of my weight loss plan has been consistently to substitute small meals with slim fast. Burried in another faq was a question about substituting slim fast for myoplex. It said slim fast is just sugar water. I read the label and indeed sugar is the 3rd and 4th ingredient behind water and milk.
ACK!!! no wonder I'm not loosing when I'm chugging 2-3 cans of sugar water per day. I'm switching off today to something without excessive sugar in it. |
