Calories vs. Weight Gain

See doc physical and blood tests. You may have thyroid
and/or other hormonal imbalance.

Weight loss diets are usually around 1000+ calories a day.
Weight should be falling off of you at 800. About 3500
calories make a pound of body fat so you should be losing
more than a pound a week at 800 calories a day.

"No fat" diets aren't good for you. You need omega fats. Eat
2 tablespoons flax meal every morning with liquid and take a
decent vitamin; minerals can be taken at bedtime.

Tablespoon cod liver oil on empty stomach 3 x a week is good
for bones, eyes, joints, skin and mucus membranes.

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil will help digestion and
give you more good dietary fat.

May not all be in the calories....try staying away from the
"whites"....bread, pasta, potatoes, rice, all forms of
sugar, etc. Eat lots and lots of greens and good fish and
some meat a few times a week.

On the bottom of this page is a calculator to tell you how
many calories you need to maintain your weight............

Thanks - the links provided some real good info. I actually
have my annual physical sometime in May. Maybe I'll try to
move it up and talk to my doctor about it.

It just seems so bizarre that I'm expanding by the minute.

Thanks again,

Weight gain, a slower metabolism and being bloated are
symptoms of a toxic colon. Email me and I can send you more
information and a free Medical Doctor video if you would
like. Sincerely,

Hi all, first post here and looking for some feedback.

Last summer I started gaining a few pounds - not much but
my clothes were

little snugger. So I started making some changes to my
diet. I cut out soda, quit beer, went fat-free where I
could, eliminated fried foods and sweets, etc.

Now I have gotten so big that I'm up 2 sizes. And I'm not
just big, I'm puffy, bloated big. I don't know how much
weight I've gained because I

A friend indicated that I may not be getting enough
calories and nutrition and my body is hanging on to
everything to sustain itself.

So I started keeping a log of what I'm eating and what I'm
consuming

starving myself or anything, but I'm eating things with no

And in theory, it makes sense that I need to

Does anyone know what the recommended calorie intake is
for a 36 year old woman? Could there be other reasons for
weight gain, since I'm certainly not eating enough to gain
from food? Or is this just another way of being told I'm
getting older?

Any thoughts / feedback appreciated.

Thanks, Harley Davidson
