Guest guest Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 Positive Dennis...I concur. It was when I really played around with upping fats and protein and decreasing the carbs that I saw many more changes. Especially with the amount of nuts I eat...I know my fat intake is way above what most eat on here. My blood lipids are great...and FBS too, so I am a believer in the heart benefits of the lower carb, moderate fat and moderate protein way of eating.Here's the deal on fat...at least in my laywoman's opinion. Fat, I tell my kids, is the train that takes the nutrients and vitamins to all the places that your body needs them...which is everywhere. Your digestive tract doesn't work as well with out good fats. Hair, skin, nails all improve with better quality fats. I am not afraid of fat anymore.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 Well I can only speak for myself and I am certainly no expert, but I would increase the fat and protein and reduce the carbo's at this same calorie level and see what happens. IMHO 10% fat is too low especially for a woman of child bearing years. Positive Dennis Hakan Aygun wrote: Hi everbody, I am quite newbie about CRON. I experience CRON last six months. I lost 25 pound since I started. My set point dropped 180 lbs to 154 lbs. My calorie intake is 1800 kcal but it seems that I set at 154 lbs. My wonder is how I can calculate target BMI calories correctly. I think if 1800 kcal were correct number, my weight should keep decreasing. My target is 130-140 lbs. (Note: I tried http://www.wvda.org/calcs/fcals.htm today, I found that my calorie intake should be 1786). Maybe I will lost weight very gradually, I dont know.. My other question is about fat, carb, protein balance. I am a vegan and my diet is based on 3 rules: Calories from fat should be %10 of total calorie Calories from carb should be %80 of total calorie Calories from protein should be %10 of total calorie I also wonder CRON diet suggests/implies such rules. If so, what are the figures? Kind regards, Hakan Aygun Note: Thanks warrent who enacourage me to share my question with the group... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
