"Perhaps your metabolism is set up to use those 900 calories . I don't understand how you can get obese drinking zero sugar fizzy drinks Help anyone ? " because the brain senses sugar and expects energy. wen it doesnt get tat energy it makes you hungry and so you eat more. also, sweeter molecules are 'spiky' in shape and so sit on the tongue loner han sugar molecules making your brain think even more energy is coming then making you eat more when it doesnt | |||

Wonder what diets recommend only 1000 | |||

"900 calories sounds ok.. Most diets recommend a 1000 calorie intake for a female a day. Best to avoid cane sugar as there is no nutrition in it and it plays havoc with ur energy burning. As for sweetners I have never had a problem having them, they certainly have never made me feel hungry and satisfys my sweet tooth. Sugar is a million times worse and gives u a energy drop quickly making u feel hungry. Eat loads of veg.. Nothing but pure goodness and good energy" Think the op meant she had 900 calories more than she was is allowed and not that she was only allowed 900 calories a day. | |||

"I have switched from Weightwatchers to using MyFitnessPal and find it much easier to manage. I am on 1200 calories a day and at the moment it feels like it's enough to eat plenty and still lose. I do exercise, but don't tend to add any calories because of it. As for cake..I had 3 pieces at my Grandson's birthday tea the other day but according to the scales I got away with it. Just take one day at a time..we all have good days and bad days "The long term success rate for Weightwatchers (bmi of 25 AND staying that way for six weeks - which is supposed to be long term accoording to them) is just 2 in a thousand. So no wonder your free app is working better for you. Lola uses the same app and its worked for her too. I refuse to do either! I just eat whole foods, don't booze and swim plenty. But that's just me x Everybody is different, but I think diets interested solely in selling us their products and not our long term health should be viewed with suspicion. Good luck with your healthy eating x | |||

"For my height and weight its recommended I have 1500 calories for healthy eating. Or 1300 for crash diet
Wonder what diets recommend only 1000 "The doctor, hospital, many really. It should depend more on ur daily activities than height and weight. The key is to eat a balanced diet and all the right nutritions in the right quantity. As for low calorie drinks.. I've lost 9 stone and happily been drinking loads of diet to do so! I'm pretty sure many other factors in the study of 500 men and woman have accounted for bulging waistlines.. Weight issues are to do with eating issues, its more a phycological thing than anything. Yes some have conditions that can mean putting weight on is easier than others, but that just means with the condition u need to eat a different diet to everyone else and therefore they aren't if they are over weight. | |||

"All diets work. It's the people that don't. "
I lost over 4 stone 2 yrs ago and have put 1/2 stone back on. Aiming to lose a lot more now Im back on it. And if I get my jaw wired that may help too | |||

Easiest way I found was wearing a step counter that would tell me how far I walked, how many cals burned and as its cardio work, it will benefit your WHOLE body rather than certain area's worked on in the gym...you could try yoga..very helpful in more ways than you could imagine!
But well done you for taking responsibility for your own happiness! | |||

"Yeah but if you can get a gold medal as well that would be awesome
No worries, wasn't trying to be funny with you x "Take each day as it comes, if you fall off at lunchtime, don't write the whole day off, get back to healthy as soon as you can. spinning classes are also a great way to burn fat, high cardio and to music, doing it in a class also makes it less likely to give up and head back to the changing rooms.... | |||

"The higher your metabolic rate, the more efficient your body is at converting food into energy, instead of converting it into body fat! Here are 11 simple ways to boost your metabolism. Eat for what you’ll be doing the next 3-4 hours. Your body will retain less fat for stored energy, because you’re consistently giving it the fuel it required for the immediate task at hand.People burn more calories during the active parts of their day – work, play and exercise! Yet, most people make dinner by far their highest calorie meal of the day, then do nothing afterwards but “wind down” for a few hours and then go to sleep. So are you really burning much of those dinner calories? Of course not! It’s common sense if you think about it. Get some aerobic activity EVERY SINGLE DAY! Walk! Jog! Play around with your kids! Have sex! Dance! Play Footbal1 Go Swimming ! Ride a Bike! It doesn’t matter what it is – just get your heart rate up for at least 20-30 minutes every day. Our bodies are amazing at adapting – it becomes what we do. People that sit on their arse most of the time, have bodies to match! Eat Breakfast! When you skip breakfast, your body slows your metabolism down as a protective measure. You haven’t had food in 8-12 hours! How can you expect your metabolism to get going if you’ve given it nothing to metabolize? Food, especially complex carbohydrates, fuels your metabolism. Maintain and tone your muscles through weight training 2/3/4 days per week. Every ounce of lean muscle tissue on your body demands nutrients to sustain itself. In response, your body burns calories faster and stores less calories as fat. Ladies, please don’t worry. Unless you’re on steroids or have unnaturally high testosterone, you are NOT going to look like a Bodybuilder. Instead you could end up looking like a covergirl for Shape magazine – those girls lift weights. Believe it! Snack smart and snack often! Fruits, vegetables, and whole grains stoke your metabolism, and keep your blood sugar steady. Steady blood sugar prevents you from becoming too hungry, and also keeps you from craving sweets. When you’re too hungry, you are more likely to lose control over what and how much you eat. Purposely do things the hard way. If you’re overweight, then you need to always be always looking for a easy opportunity to burn calories. Take the furthest parking space. Choose an after-meal walk instead of dessert. Take the stairs. Use a rake instead of a grass blower. Buy a traditional lawnmower, not a self-propelled one. Use a mop or a vacuum, not one of those bloody Roomba things. Eat more complex carbohydrates and lean proteins, and reduce fat and sugars. Complex carbs boost your energy and keep your metabolism working hard. Lean protein is used by the body to create muscle, which makes us burn calories at a faster rate – even when we’re sleeping! Keep alcohol to a minimum. Avoid it completely if you can.Alcohol slows your metabolism and raises your appetite simultaneously. Do you know that alcohol has SEVEN calories per gram, almost as much as pure FAT. (Also many alcoholic drinks are loaded with sugar to boot. Drink .8 ounces of water per pound of bodyweight daily (80 oz if you weigh 100 lbs). Water is required for your liver to effectively metabolize body fat! Carry a bottle of water with you and drink frequently throughout the day. Drink water between meals, not during meals - you’ll digest your food better. Have a cup of black tea or coffee before aerobic exercise. Every study done on the effects of caffeine during aerobic exercise has shown an increased reliance on body fat for energy when a small amount of caffeine is consumed prior to exercise. Remember; use caffeine sparingly and in small doses. If your body is adapted to regular excessive caffeine use, it will not see the fat burning effect described here! Last but not least… DON’T STARVE YOURSELF! 1200 daily calories for women and 1800 men is a bare minimum just to sustain life function and healthy tissue while at rest (BMR) – not even taking into account the energy it takes to get out of bed and move around (TDEE*)! When you don’t eat enough, your body will find the calories somewhere – it will breakdown your healthy muscle tissue to burn for energy. Less muscle = lower metabolism = you get fatter faster. This is why most people who have gone on very low calorie diets end up being fatter over the long haul. " All true. Great advice. Forget going on a diet. And a great point about women and lifting weights. Listen up, ladies! | |||

"Had to copy and paste that from one of my hubbys files, that's his field." Hopefully people will take that on board. It's not advice. It's actually what happens and what you need to do, to get in shape. It's science. | |||
