Metabolism
Hi all. I have been on Atkins for over three years lost 40 pounds, got a job siting on my tush all day and gained 14 back. Lost 5 and now need to get the last 9 off. But has anyone heard of getting their metabolism tested? It was advertised in TV Guide a fw weeks ago. Anyway I did and guess what my metabolism is 1070. That is a resting metabolism. I can add another 25% in calories to that number and if I want to lose weight I have to eat less that 1320 calories a day. Give or take a few calories. Now on Atkins we don't count calories. So what do I do? If I eat less that 1,000 calories a day, I will slow down my metabolism even more. Any suggestions other than exercise at this point? I work full time, I have two kids, husband, house, you know the drill. And it's too darm cold to walk here in NJ. IN Spring, I'll start walking, but right now. What do I do?
