hi everyone,
i have just come off cambridge plan after nearly 4 weeks and a loss of 10lb which for not eating food i think is a poor result for sticking to it 100%! i have therefore decided to try calorie counting as i think i would be much better off losing my weight in this way and with out all the sacrifice as i am sure i can lose 10lb in 4 weeks on this plan if i try hard enough!
Any way, my question is...how many cals should i be on to avoid starvation mode but lose 2lb a week ? im 5ft 5 tall and weigh 15st 10lb and im happy to improve my activity level to include an hour extra activity a day minimum! I have googled this but i appear to get so many answers and things i dont understand. i know it takes 3500 cals to put on or lose 1lb in fat, but i dont understand the more u exercise the more cals i need bit? im thinking i need 1400 cals?
sorry for long post and thank u in advance for any advice offered x
