Yes I am eating about 1350 calories each day. I am not sure about my exercise. I have a very active job. A large building and I do a lot of walking. I guess about 100 cals per day just walking around. Then I exercise about 90 cals each day on machines or walking.
I believe I have a slow metabolism. Likely due to dieting most of my life. In the last few months I have tried drinking more water; eating more (just gained); eating less (felt sick) and upping exercise (felt sick) I have had a doctor check and I am physically fine. Half the problem is not really knowing what to do. I was kind of serious about that "diet part two" book as there is not a ton of direction for those who get half way there.
My plan is just to cut a lot of the extras that might have been sabotaging me -- for instance I was eating a muffin every morning thinking it had about 300 cals and 5 grams of sugar but found it had 500 cals and 20 g's of sugar -- and just to stick to it for a while without wavering -- after all eventually the weight will come off. Right?
