Hi everyone. New to the site but could really use some help. I recently found one of my mums old diet books from when she used to go to Rosemary Conley classes. It is the 'GI Jeans Diet' book. I have done the 2 week 'quick start diet' and found it fine to do and i lost 10 lbs over the 2 weeks which im pretty pleased with. It was all very easy with the meals set out and calories counted for you but i have just started the next main diet and i am finding it really awkward to do.
The first diet was easy for me, just sticking to 1200 calories a day, very simple but now i have apparentley got to up my calorie intake to my basal metabolic rate. Fair enough, so i go look in the tables section to see how much i should be having and it says 2600! I thought it was going to be simple but i am finding this part of the diet very hard as i have to try and figure out how i can make up 1100 calories a day. Not only that but im eating so much that im finding it hard to see how im actually doing anything. Anyone have any similar problems or have any tips for me in how i up my calorie intake by 1100? It says in the book to just have more potatoes/pasta/bread etc but are the only things you can have extra? Im so confused. :gen147:
