Hi Bree

Am I reading that wrong or did you eat less than 500 calories yesterday????

If that's all you ate, you're not losing weight because you are starving yourself! Your body needs 1200 calories a day just to LIVE! If you aren't eating that, your body holds on to what you have.

The general rule is to eat 10 x your weight in calories. Some say your current weight, some say your goal weight. I stick to the middle ground and that works for me.

You also want to acheive a ratio of about 5% carbs, 65% fat and 35% protein. You can deduct your fibre carbs from your total carbs. During induction you should be getting just under 20 carbs per day.

Remeber, only eat what is on the list, and drink your water! These are a must!

GO EAT!
