ADDITIONAL NOTES:
Wow! i didnt realize how low cal i was today...well i feel good, so i guess thats what counts. my feet are doing a lot better today, and my walk went really well. i think i might do intervals every other night..that might feel good too. my wife picked up the low fat cottage cheese instead of the fat-free, and man...i swear it tastes ten time better! it actually has a taste now. lol. so yeah, everything went well. not bad for the first day of my fourth week. ALSO... i just want to say thanks to those who have voiced their support and advice in their comments. i understand that im not doing the traditional 5-6 meals a day, averaging somewhere around 1500 calories...but ive done that before, many times, and its never worked for me. ive never tried such a low cal diet, simply because i thought it was impossible...but everyday i do it, i prove to myself at least, that it is possible. i guess i just got to the point where ive decided that "Everyone is different" and not everything is going to work the same for everyone. Im testing the theory if "You have to speed your metabilism up to lose weight". i think that might not work for everyone. i want to see if it is possible to lose FAT with a slow metablism...i know its weird, but if im right, cool, and if im wrong...well i guess this blog will prove that. i have a feeling that while everyone is trying to speed their metablism up, perhaps its just about learning how to get the most of whatever kind of metablism you have. if you have a fast metablism...GREAT!....eat 6 times a day...if not though...maybe catering to a slow metablism with the right portions and foods can work too. like i said, ive tried lots of diets that have you eat so much through the day, but i didnt like it. for one, i was always hungry..ALWAYS!...every 2 hours my body was starving for food. i dont like that. and secondly, i dont want to have to eat so often...its all about a lifestyle change, and that just isnt the lifestyle i want...to constanly need food every other hour. with what im doing now, i feel good, and only hungry, maybe an hour before my dinner. thats it! and its nothing like a starving sensation. just ready to eat. and as soon as im done eating...i feel full for the whole night! its really what i like. now as i get closer to my goal weight, i will increase the calories i take in each meal, but not really increase the amount of meals i have per day. NOW...if i want to gain more muscle, which i might..all i'll have to do is increase my meals with an extra serving of protiens....whether thats an extra chicken breast, can of tuna or whatever! So anyways, thats a little bit about why im choosing to do such a low cal diet for now...i may change it if i feel like its not working at some point, im not opposed to that. but until i cross that bridge, i think i'll stick with this for as long as i can...to be honest with you, i didnt think i would ever make it this long on 500 cals a day...and i feel good:) But again, i can only speak for myself.
