That’s the claim he made today. Can any doctors weigh in on this? (Get it – “weigh in” on this?)
I’m a 17-year-old 5′4″ female and I recently lost over 30 pounds in a period of 8 months on the Jenny Craig diet. I was advised by my consultant at the center to restrict my caloric intake to 1200 a day. I followed the menu as religiously as possible but often felt extremely hungry and fatigued, stopped having my period, got brittle nails, and to make matters worse, my body eventually went into starvation mode. As it turned out, I was eating 1300 calories below my caloric maintenance level. Top that off with the fact that I exercise 3 times a week, and, according to my pedometer, I burn over 1000 calories due taking more than 20000 steps a day…oh, my goodness. When I asked my consultant to put me on 1700 calories, she refused to and quickly explained that some of her other clients who are “marathon runners” only need 1500. So, I decided to tough it out for 1 more week and ended up gaining a pound. Her response? “Um, yeah…I don’t know what’s going on.” It was right then and there I decided it would be best for me to just give my body a break, a chance to recover.
So, it has been 10 days since Jenny Craig and I parted ways. The first 3 days of eating on my own were absolutely fantastic. I even lost 0.8lbs! It all started going downhill on the 4th day, thanks to my stomach’s growling and feeling empty every 60 to 90 minutes. Ever since then, I have been binge eating on various fruits such as grapes and watermelon, wholegrain high fiber granola cereal (with and without Omega-3), oatmeal, flax sprouted grain bread, and fat free soy beverage. Absolutely no fast food. None. No MacDonald’s, KFC, Burger Baron, Subway, nothing. Anyway, I have gone from 129.9lbs to 138. Mind you, I have intestinal gas and abdominal bloating, and I’ve been expelling a lot of waste. So, is it really possible to gain between 8 to 10 pounds of fat in 1 week from binge eating? Is this my body’s way of trying to achieve some kind of balance?
We have an auto cat box, which requires a lighter cat. She is also already on adult diet food, she is an adult. I don’t know what to do. I’m not home most of the time to monitor her eating habits. I also cannot exercise her without her getting mad. I need a way that will work.
I was 260 and I have been stuck at 206 for the past two months. I am 5′7″ and wear pant size 12 which I think is weird because other girls that wear that size are like 150 or so. I work out 4-5 times a week 60 minutes of cardio and 3 times a week strength training. I eat healthy…stay under 2000 calories a day. I am also very active at work always standing and running around. I wore a pedometer and in a day I take an average of 15000-20000 steps when the requirement is 10000…I lead a very active lifestyle however my weight will not budge anyone have any advice..
