Spellcheck please... then I promise I will answer. But I can't read it like that.

It's easy cut the calories simple as that

maybe you're building muscle
it's not about the numbers
muscle weighs more than fat

everyone's body is different
some can eat crap every day and still stay thin
others can look at a potato chip and gain 5 pounds

tis life my dear.
i started eating all fruits and vegetables til dinner
small dinner
i've lost 6 pounds so far
and that's without exercise

no 2 people will lose the exact amount of weight even if on identical programs

dont go by another's accomplishments nor by the scale. go by the fit of your clothing. good luck

I'm pretty much doing the same thing eating fruit until dinner time and eating something small then and i've lost nearly 20 pounds and i've been doing it for about a month now..no exercise at all

yep people tell me looks like u lost weight.. but the scale i dont like it.. oh well... and i eat vegetables... fruits every day... iam on hte go.... all day... grr...oh well....

The same thing happened to me too

yay! 20 pounds in a month? really? how many dress sizes?

doenst it totally suck... grr

Ok, firstly, I know I am probably out of place on this page... only women on it... But I believe the main thing is having a good breakfast. That sets your metabolism off for the rest of the day. I eat porridge in the morning (oats with milk) and all of a sudden I can eat what I like without putting weight on. Obviously, working out now and again, but not excessively.

cannot go by the scale as you lose body fat and it's replaced with muscle which weighs more than the fat.

dont forget your proteins - good luck

I have known soooo many people who loose without eating less or lower calories. It's simple really...eat all you want as long as it's low on the glycemic index.

The glycemic index of food tells the amount of sugar that is in it and how your body will burn it. The human body is designed to burn fat, not sugar, for everyday energy use.

Sugar in small amounts is stored in the liver for use during those rare times it must burn energy faster for short intervals...like dodging that car that almost hit you in the street last week. Anything more than what the liver needs in reserve for this purpose is absorbed into the body, mostly the muscles, which requires insulin in order to accomplish. The main job of insulin is to take excess sugar and turn it to fat.

The endless cycle begins here, as the body is making fat from this sugar, then stores it away because the body has plenty of sugar to run on at the moment. As long as the body has sugar to run on, it will not burn the fat stores it is saving. Note that your body already stores plenty of fat from FAT you eat, so unless you plan on hibernating for the winter, your body does not need the excess fat that your body makes from all the carbs and sugars you eat. If there is no sugar for your body to burn...it will burn the fat...burn the fat and you will lose weight...even without exercising, and even faster WITH exercise.

The majority of what we eat nowadays contain carbs, which the body turns to sugar...so to lose weight the natural way, go back to eating the way your body was designed to eat. If you can pick it off a tree or bush, pull it from the ground, catch, kill and cook it, then it's what your body was made to run on. Stop eating processed foods and start eating what nature intended, and your body will look fit, run better and have no reason to produce, cancer causing, free radicals since you are no longer introducing foreign substances into it.

It is also impossible to get Adult onset Diabetes from eating naturally, unless you eat nothing but fruits and nightshades for years.

hydrostatic body fat testing..perform this test, it will clear up any confusion as to whether or not your getting healthier..losing dry weight doesn't necessarily mean losing % body fat..

I dont know what to tell you as ive lost weight by watching what i eat & power walking whenever i can.

I lost 80 pounds over the period of a couple of years.

I weighed 280 when I was 30. I looked at myself in the mirror one day and was absolutely disgusted with what I saw.

I decided to lose some weight. I didn't do anything drastic. Didn't go into a major " working out " mode.

I simply kept eating and drinking what I wanted, just in lower amounts.

I now weigh 200...still a bit heavy. But I eat and drink what I want, and I have kept the same weight for about 5 years now.

hum well the weight gaincould be muscle?and I weigh about 108,at 4ft 9in and feel better when I'm at 100 or a little less just have to count my calories..what I eat & drink,but diet sodas or just water gives me a terible headache..so I'm tring to exercise more,mostly for health reasons though

Coffee and apples, coffee and apples, coffee and apples.

Then punch yer head through some drywall for good measure.

Same reason I have a penis and you have a vagina, really. We were born differently. All people are not created equal. The other person has a penis metabolism while you have a vagina metabolism.


On the good note, you don't see chunky bodybuilders or chunky marathon runners, so you know there is hope for you. You just have to start doing weight training and stepping up your workouts. Eat MORE, not less. Eat HEALTHIER, not poorer. Work out so you sweat longer.


My advice may be offensive to some,but please take the words at face value, leave the emotions at the door, thanks.
