How do you know you eat enough calories? I am a big fan of seriously checking out the 'reality' of your diet. Have you done the record EVERYTHING you eat for a week and figure out total cals, grams of proteins, carbs and fats? And from that work out the percentages?

Otherwise you are just guessing, seriously, and most people are SHOCKED when they do this. First time I did it, I was veggie and found out that my diet was 40% fat!

Going to post a link to another thread after this, you may want to do some homework!

I am NOT a fan of low carb diets, they do seem to work quite well initially for losing weight.

I AM a big fan of sorting out a 'diet' that is easy to maintain and a healthy way of eating for life!

Putting on more muscle makes it easier to keep the fat off, so weight training is essential, and also, to get rid of fat, cardio cardio cardio!
