[QUOTE="DavidGrahamJones, post: 1842037, member: 245335"] The theory sounds great. In practice? A different picture all together. It all depends on the individual and if we were all the same it would be the answer to my prayers. Of course you have to know exactly how much your body needs and the Harris Benedict Formula has been around for over 100 years. If I was to follow that to the letter I should be consuming 2300 calories a day. In theory if I take off 500 calories a day, that should bring a one pound weight loss. In my case that didn't work. So, next step take off 1,000 calories a day, and I spent years on 1200 calories a day, weight loss? Nil. Did I exercise? Till it hurt! Did I cheat? No, I have spent ages weighing everything, putting it all into my Weight by Date software and I've now got food diaries coming out of my ears. Personally, I didn't lose weight until I cut my carbs back to about 40gms (no bread, potato, rice, pasta - you'd be surprised how much carbs are in those items) and stopped taking Gliclazide and Januvia. Shame we're not all the same. [/QUOTE]
