Deja Vu?
I saw this figure a month ago. I am trying to reset my metabolism by reducing exercise and eating more. After crunching the numbers I realized I should have lost far more than I did, and have reduced my metabolism by stressing the body. Too much exercise AND a deficit of 500K/day was too much.
I ate at least 1200 and what I did eat was nutritious. I was never hungry. I felt grate, but the body thought that I was starving.(minus 800-1000/day with exercise included) And I feel like my own body sabotaged my efforts.
Apparently this is quite common. Something new to me.
So now i am doing (just) 10,000 steps and 30 minutes cardio, and slowly increasing my calories by 150-200 a week as prescribed in resetting your metabolism. Should we come off of a diet without doing so, the body will just store the extra "flood" and store it. So I have learned that it is not just to continue good eating habits and choices, but to build up your calorie intake slowly to let the body become accustomed to it.
I am rather enjoying eating a little more and still losing some weight without a radical diet or regime. I will continue to eat my way up to 2000/day or until I GAIN weight. Then I am supposed to eat that amount for two weeks before deciding if I want to resume a healthy "diet"
I hope this information may help others in this situation or to prevent others from making the same mistake. People do not realize that they can be harming their bodies more than doing good.(And why they may have plateaued or are now progressing slowly)
