Trying the New Plan...

Tweet

So the doctor gave me an idea to try when it comes to losing weight. He estimated that I was over eating by almost 200 calories based on how much weight I had gained. So to lose weight, I would need to cut that amount out, plus 200 more to start losing. But he said for a week or two to just track what I normally eat to get an idea of where my calories are on average. Then, to start cutting back. I may start in a week cutting out the 200 calories, then 300, then 400...etc. He still suggests eating as less sugar as possible. I will work on that slowly as well. I think in the past I jumped from high carbs/sugar to extremely low carbs/sugar and I couldn't last more than a couple days. and yes I will try to get back into working out too. What were my calories on day 1 of tracking just my normal diet? Almost 2,000. I did eat a couple extra things that I normally wouldn't. So I would probably say my normal range is probably 1,700 calories. But we'll see how it goes over the next 3 months doing this....see if I lose any weight.
