Re: December diet thread

This may seem silly but you might not be getting enough fat and calcium in your diet. When you restrict to 1500 calories your metabolism will slow down in order to preserve body fat ( survival mechanism) If you add omega 3 fatty acids to your diet you may notice you start to lose weight again. Same with adequate calcium intake ( a lot of women cut out dairy when they diet)
Sometimes you actually need to eat more calories ( gasp) for a week and then cut back again. Just some helpful hints. I lost 10 lbs after adding an omega 3 supplement and a CLA supplement.
