I'd think that 2500 would be way too high. Are you hitting your tens? How are your meals going? How long have you been doing BFL?

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2002 Report Share Posted May 30, 2002 Hi ~ 2500 calories is ok if you want to bulk up! LOL but not for someone that is your height and weight. The calories that you are trying to aim for, 1200 is fine and I don't think this is the problem as why you hit a plateu. Are you taking free days? do you go totally nuts on them? do you drink alcohol on them as well? What about your water amount? how much do you drink in a day and do you compensate the amount of coffee or soft drinks that you drink with extra water? How does your daily meals usually look like are there a lot of over processed carbs in them or are they mostly the fruits and starchy veggies that Bill states in his book? Do you do bars and shakes? how many in a day? Any of these things can be the caused of the stalled progress for you, not starvation mode. According to Hussman these days even if you under eat you should still see a weight loss, but you will be loosing muscle as well. He says that a lot of people are using his BMR calculator to justify eating more when they have stalled progress or a plateu. Instead of looking at the types of food choices they make or how much they eat on free day. Eating thousands of extra cals on free day can eliminate the calorie deficit that you created during the week. Free days are great if you keep them in moderation~for instance instead of eating a full bag of extra butter microwaved popcorn you eat say a cup or 2 of it instead. Or instead of eating 6 chocolate chip cookies you stop at 2. See what I mean? Have what you are craving for during the week but limit yourself to how much and make sure you are drink lots of water on free day as well to help flush out all of the extra carbs that most consume on free day. Hope this helps :0) Joann Re: A little confused > > > sandraazza wrote: > > > Hello Ladies, > > Ive been on the BFL program and have seen some results but the > > progress has stopped now.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 I'm been reading varying opinions about when to take the iodoral and if it should be taken with or without certain vitamins/minerals. I'm so confused now and don't know what I should be doing. Before breakfast and about an hour after I've taken my westhroid, I juice a lemon to drink and then drink some juiced vegetables/apple after that for my liver. What is the verdict? Does Vitamin C (in the form of the vitamin or fruit/juice) effect the iodine negatively? Does taking calcium and magnesium compete for absorption with iodine and should not be taken within two hours of taking Iodoral? Are there are research articles that support anyone's thoughts or opinions? Thanks. Laurie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Sorry, from Israel, but I don't know what would be antioxidants and oxidants. Can you give me examples or a link that lists what each one might be? Laurie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
