Ta Da!!!

I definitely believe we need to increase what we eat with Tae Bo so as not to

put your body into famine mode while building muscle

It is true that if you aren't eating enough for your amount of exercise that

you can gain weight. I suggest eating 5-6 small meals a day and you must eat

breakfast. Keep up with the taebo though. I hope this helps a little.

Hi BamBam!

Your husband could be right. If your aren't eating enough of the right foods, your body could be holding onto everything you do eat..going into starvation mode. How many times a day are you eating, and are you getting enough protein to build muscle and compound carbs for energy? How often are you working out? Are you overdoing it? If you have a good balanced diet, and aren't over doing it with the exercise, then you might want to check this with a doctor. Baja Girl couldn't figure out why she wasn't losing in her waist, then found out she was pregnant.

My advice, if you haven't done this already, is go get checked out by your

doctor. If this is a major concern, and you aren't eating differently than

before your started exercising, it is always a good idea to get checked over

just to make sure you don't have something else going on other than a healthy

muscle gain.

If you don't eat enough, your body " thinks " you are starving. As a

self-protective mechanism, your metabolic rate SLOWS down within 1-2 days

to save up on body mass and energy. Therefore, you will not lose weight and

may in fact even experience weight gain.

(2) drink lots of fluids/water, and (3) continue your consistent exercise.

if you do not eat properly, the exercise can slow down your metabolism afraid

of losing its fat storage feeling threatened. Exercise is also building

muscles which weighs 3 times more than fat which can add weight.

YES! The dietwatch journal is great. I was thinking I was eating *all* the

time, but it turns out I wasn't even hitting 1200 calories a day, and they

say men need more calories than women. So that is one of my major

obstacles.....trying to eat more calories. That's something I never thought I

would say!

<< I've heard that a woman needs to eat approximately 1200 cals a day in

should really count the amount of calories you eat, you would be surprised.

You can subscribe to a calorie counter online (actually it's more of a food

journal) at http:/ /www.dietwatch.com . When I started counting calories a

few months ago, I realized that I was eating 700-800 cals a day, no wonder I

wasn't losing any weight! And I thought I was eating like a pig!!! When I

started eating 1200 cals a day, I realized that I was feeling much more

energetic and I started losing weight! If you eat a balanced diet with all

food groups in appropriate amounts, I guarantee you that you will lose

weight... >>

Hi there if you don't have 's book get it. He explains all about

it in his book. Believe it or not he says to eat. That we may need to

eat more than we do to loose the weight.

Take a good look at your calories and your amount of working out. Make

sure you are eating enough to keep up with your activity.

Hi Moody, I am eating (or was) eating once maybe twice a day. I have since

changed that I eat three times a day now with vitamins!! I used to work out 7

days a week, then after muscle fatgie)sp) i only work out 3 to 4 times a

week. You might wow but I was addicted to Taebo and love it so much I wanted

to do it that much. I feel I do eat right foods, I asked my brother (he is a

bodybuilder) and he said I was eating the correct food just not enough of it.

so yes, I think I was starving my body but am trying to get back to where its

is supposed to be. Thanks will let you know what happens. Bam Bam

I have been doing this eating thing for a short period of time with no

difference in pounds or clothes except i had tried on a pair of pants that I

wore last winter only not to be able to button them so I am a little

disappointed ,no not a little a lot!! Bam Bam

[Guest guest]

Dear Moody, Yes, I had thought of that one, I drink mainly unsweented iced

tea during workouts just ice water. I hardly ever drink sweeten stuff. I had

noticed one thing I had high blood pressure a year ago and now its gone!! Was

140/99 (started when I was 35 now I am 42)so doing the Taebo since Feb has

done something?BamBam

[Guest guest]

> I have been doing this eating thing for a short period of time with no

How long have you been doing this?? These things take time, you gotta be

patient. Remember, never more than 1% of your body weight per week (which

means usually about 1-2 pounds per week). Don't forget to drink lots of

water (2 litres or 64 ounces a day), I call water a weight loss elixir!!!

My husband saw similar b\p resultsafter doing the workout for a while. If you don't mind, let'sstart at the beginning here. Can you tell us when you started, your activity level before starting, your weight, size, height, how your form is during the workout, collectively we should be able tofigure this out, especially now with 's book. I knowthis works, very well, I have seen it in myself and the hubby,and heard from alot of other people from the boards. This hasto work for you as well. Please don't get discouraged, and let'ssee what we can come up with. Girl, I want to see your pics onthe before and afters! If you don't have 's book yet,that would be a good place to start. This is going to workfor you, so keep on keeping on, and let's figure this out. Moody

BamBam,

How long has it been since you've altered your diet? Different people have

different weight loss patterns. I chugged along for 5 months, losing at a

decent rate, then hit the plateau from hell...no loss for 2 months. When it

" broke " it broke big...I had an abrupt loss of 11 pounds from one week to the

next. Go figure.

Hang in there!

How long have you been eating healthy? And just how healthy is your diet

really? Some of us *thought* we were eating right, but Dietwatch showed us

that we actually weren't. Also, how long have you been doing TaeBo? All

of this makes a difference.

Tomorrow I will complete my 21dc, and I have a feeling I won't see any loss

in inches or pounds. I'm already prepared to be disappointed in that

respect. But I've seen this wonderful new tightness in my muscles, and I

just know that if I continue with TaeBo (and get my diet under control),

the fat *will* come off.
