I’ve Consed Every Pair

I’ve done a diet in which I used packaged and prepared food for ease of calorie counting and ate about 1400 calories a day for couple months. I also did a lot more aerobic exercise than I usually did (running, bicycling, elliptical machines).

Result? Not what any of the “calories in calories out” calculators claimed. About a pound down. Should have been more like seven to ten.

What works for me: weight lifting, swimming. Both wildly more effective than they “should” be. Dieting and aerobic exercise do about dick-all to take fat off my frame. Try various things in various combinations.

This reminds me of a friend who got on the 1400 calories diet with reduced carbs. He lost 50 pounds in about 3 months but the losses started to slow down after 3 months. He is unrecognizable now. Not sure if this counts but he first put on this extra weight during the last 3 years and mostly from stress eating.
