Thanks for sharing :) I took the diet solution program and learning from Isabel De Los Rios the nutrition. Her way really works. As long as you consume proper nutrition, it will helps in fat burning and to help you in losing weight. Of course you have to exercise :)

Sometimes things work in spite of what we do, rather than because of what we do :) But as long as we do what works for us, that's fine enough.

My diet plan? Forgetting about all of the "starve yourself thin" diet plans, and tossing the rules of 'eat less, move more' out the window since it basically is like telling your metabolism to slow down (eat less) and speed up (move more) at the same time. (paraphrased from Lou Schuler)

I eat upwards of 2500-3000 calories per day. mind you, I am 270+ pounds and exercising at a high intensity (burning 600+ calories per session according to my heart rate monitor) 4x per week, including strength training. I am not eating a lot of junk either, and I am losing inches all over the place. I eat healthy foods, not junk foods, and I eat when I am hungry, which naturally tends to be less on days when I am not working out. This method is really helping me understand the difference between physical hunger and mental hunger (such as: I'm bored, let's eat!). Plus since the increase is primarily protein, I feel satiated longer. I've also noticed I have a lot more energy.

I just started reading "New Rules of Lifting for Women" and love how the author wants women to work hard in the gym as well as fuel those workouts properly (seriously, he says EAT MORE, and there's a nutrition plan to follow, as well as a 6 month exercise routine). I will be starting the program as soon as I finish the book.


I measure my success in 3 ways: body fat percentage, measurements, and then the scale. I am more concerned with the inches and body fat percentage. The scale should follow.


Good luck with your plan!
