I have 5kg to go, but no progress in 3 weeks? infact I have picked up 3 kg.Please help, because I am dying for a cake 17 Pin It user comments Posted by: Roxy | 2006/08/16 There is a difference...testosterone! if you would weigh 63kg..you would want to gain...I think we're off the subject...start a new one Reply to Roxy Posted by: Fun guy BFFM | 2006/08/16 What is wrong with being 100kg and want to loose 5 kg. I am 93kg and I want to loose 5kg (pure Fat).No she don’t weigh 100kg. She weigh between 61,5kg to 63kg and her goal is 57kg. Reply to Fun guy BFFM Posted by: Roxy | 2006/08/16 Annie, what do you weigh? Don't tell me you wanna loose only 5kg if you weigh 100kg? Reply to Roxy Posted by: Fun guy BFFM | 2006/08/16 And now you are off the point, how do you know that she does not weigh 100kg.I did not say she must eat 7000kj. Reply to Fun guy BFFM Posted by: Roxy | 2006/08/16 It makes sense if you weigh more than 100kg to eat that much kilojoules. But for Annie, who asked the question and want to loose only 5kg, to eat 7000 kj a day, would make her miserable Reply to Roxy Posted by: fun guy BFFM | 2006/08/15 If you eat less than you require you will loose FAT. It is as easy as that if your daily maintenance calorie requirement is 2000 then on 1800 cal you will loose FAT.The law of energy balance says, if you burn more calories than you consume, thenyour body must tap into stored fat for energy to make up for the calorie deficit and youwill lose weight. The reverse is also true: If you consume more calories than you burneach day, you will store the surplus and gain weight.It’s a fact that cutting calories too severely slows down the metabolic rate andcauses the loss of lean body massA more precise way to determine your correct calorie deficit would be to use apercentage deficit relative to your maintenance level. Reducing calories by 15-20%below maintenance level is a good place to start.Remember, the larger of a deficit you create, the sooner your body will catch on that youare dieting and the sooner it will start slowing your rate of calorie burning. Reply to fun guy BFFM Posted by: another dieter | 2006/08/15 At 103 kgs you should have about 7300 kilojoules a day. The more weight you carry, the more energy your body uses just to maintain itself. FG is right here.I have been eating 7000 kjs and am losing weight. I alternate my diets though. Do Atkins for a few weeks and then Kilojoules for a few weeks. I have lost an average of 1 kg a week over 15 weeks and going strong Reply to another dieter Posted by: Roxy | 2006/08/15 FGYou are loosing perspective here...Jennifer is not writing a book...she answered Annies question.I can't see that a woman can loose weight on a 1800 calorie diet. Maybe a maintenance plan, with exercise. Reply to Roxy Posted by: Fun guy BFFM | 2006/08/15 No all the weigh-less diets I have seen differ. And yes I think she got it wrong. Or maybe she made an error with the 5500 kj.I am not here to criticize you just don’t give out the diet as if it will work for every one.People are different. You should never eat less than 200 cal of your calculated daily maintenance level or 20% below. And any dietician will agree with that. Reply to Fun guy BFFM Posted by: Jennifer | 2006/08/15 Wrong Fun Guy, Weigh-less has the same diet plan for all women - doesnt matter your size, height or age - it is 5 carbs, 1mfp, 1lfp, 1 fat, 3 veggies, 2 fruits, 3 milk. men get to eat more. and as for the age thing, Do you really think that a registered dietician, Alida Muller, from a Hospital will calculate my diet wrong? I also don't think that you know everything Reply to Jennifer Posted by: Fun guy BFFM | 2006/08/15 This is what I mean.Weigh-less have different plans for different weights. You have to calculate the amount of calories that you need to consume for your weight and then work out a plan.This is the big mistake most woman make they hear about a diet and then just follow it without thinking that they are different.If I have a quick look this diet is totally to low for your needs. You will loose weight in the beginning and then slow down as your body try to combat the starvation process. That diet is for someone between 60-65 kg. You should have 7370 kj per day. Not 5500 as in that diet.I don’t think that I know every thing but I think I know much more than most people on the site. Reply to Fun guy BFFM Posted by: Jennifer | 2006/08/15 Fun guy, I cant answer you, It is a lower calorie diet, just like weigh-less, if you weigh 60 or 130, you still get the same diet plan. I weigh 103kg, 1.8m tall and medium built - 28 years old. I just thought I will help my fellow friends that also struggles with their weight. How about asking that question to Diet Doc as she also has a slimming diet on this website and doesnt stipulate the weight etc etc. Reply to Jennifer Posted by: Fun guy BFFM | 2006/08/15 Roxy.If they can criticize then they should know better.If she can just answer my question. And I think it is a relevant question. How does this diet effect people that weight between 90 and 100 kg. Reply to Fun guy BFFM Posted by: Roxy | 2006/08/15 Ag FG. Hou op om so 'n pyn te wees toe? Jy raak vir my 'n irritasie om op die site te wees, net om jou skewe aanmerkings te lees! Jys' nie al een wat iets weet nie!And Annie, have that cake! Reply to Roxy Posted by: Fun guy BFFM | 2006/08/15 Ok Jennifer.Nou hoe werk die diet vir mense van 50kg en vir 100kg?
