Usually I would reply to this in a private email, but I wanted to

address something that I think would be helpful to all.

I did a caloric analysis of your intake on that day. It was approx

927 calories, 80 grams of protein, 82 g of carb and 31 grams of fat.

The pre-op program calls for 1200 per day. 927 calories is NOT

ENOUGH food to fuel your body.

I think you may be getting back into the diet mentality which is NOT

what this program is about. I think you might want to talk to a

program nutritionist about what you should be eating. At goal, my

average caloric intake is around 2500 - 2800 calories, with about 150

grams coming from protein. Yes, this is my INDIVIDUAL plan (with

rigorous exercise), but in maintenance we need to increase our

caloric intake, not reduce it. I know it's a scary thought, but it's

a reality. (How do I know all this? Fitday.com and Dr. Gity at

Kaiser SSF!)

You are in maintenance now, you train hard as a marathoner, and I

don't think that you're getting adequate nutrition by eating so

little. But I'm no professional. Please talk to a program

nutritionist so that you can have a sound nutritional evaluation.

The yo-yo dieting mentality is what got most of us into this mess.

Please re-evaluate what you are doing.

I hope I'm not overstepping my boundaries, but I needed to express

this. I want you to remain successful. And in order to remain

successful, you need proper nutrition.

Food manipulation (dieting) is not the issue with our morbid

obesity. As a wise man (Uncle Timmy) once said, " It's never about

the food. " In other words, are you addressing the concerns--those

secret dreams and troubles--of you mind, body and spirit?

Hugs,

Francisco
