Guest guest Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Hi Forgive me if this is the wrong place for this. I am very new to calorie restriction. I have been studying this for a few months and have read a whole lot of material on the web including in this group. I have decided to take the plunge. But my situation is this. (I am morbidly obese – 47 years old, over 400 lbs, blood pressure 148/100, cholesterol level 230, high-normal blood sugar levels.) I have been obese most all my life. After high school I was 285 lbs. Where/how should I consider my set point to be? Where would someone like me begin? I have tried a lot of diets and only with going to the gym for several hours a day 5 to 6 days a week and sound diet I cannot stay at a healthy weight and keep my vitals in check. This is much too much time to keep this schedule and spend quality time in the rest of my life. (family, work, so on.) I have come to the conclusion that we just have to cut the calories. I have started eating more vegetables and fruit cutting out my everyday red meat not restricting my calories drastically but enough that I am losing at this point 1 lb per day) As I get my health in line I will be more strict in my new CR lifestyle. Can some of you who are more experienced than I am guide me in the right direction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
