So I've been eating 1,236 to lose 2lb per week. I've been doing that for...1 week and 5 days. I feel OK for the most part, but I've been feeling like my blood sugar is low a lot, and have too many of those "I need to eat now because I'm seeing spots and might pass out" moments. I just think it's too low for me.It COULD be, however, that I've cut out a lot of bread and pasta and am just not getting enough carbs, but I'm working on that, too.
I'm at 171 (.6/.2 depends on the day) lb right now. I'm wanting to change my calories to 1,736 to lose 1lb per week. Does that sound like a healthier number of calories to eat, 1,736? I don't want to undo all the progress I've made and gain a bunch of weight back before I even get to 170/169... I try to drink 5-6 glasses of water a day and exercise for 30-40 minutes.
Should I stay on 1236 calories until I reach 169lb, then switch to 1,736? Will I have to up my exercise to keep losing weight? It seems like every time I have to alter my caloric intake, I forget everything I've learned and have to start over and come ask for help here.
Sorry everybody.
Here's my loss for the entire time, so maybe you guys can help me see if I'm just bouncing or stalling or backpedaling or what. I know a week isn't that long to see though.
