Hi folks,
I've been lo-carbing for two weeks now, lifting weights 3x per week, cardio 4x, lotsa water, and logging all food intake into fitday. I've gained two pounds.
One thing I've noticed is that I may not be consuming enough calories, as they tend to drop below 2000. I weight 250. I'm just not hungry! Carbs are generally at 30g/day.
Can someone explain the concept behind keeping the calories higher to lose weight? Is it generally correct that one should eat 12cal/lb? It seems to me that a caloric deficit of a 2K per day would result in a 2lb fat weight drop each week.
I feel great, but I'd certainly prefer to be shedding some pounds.
Thanks.
Doug
