PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHEN EATING LOTS OF MEAT!
So how likely are you to pick up a piece of meat again and eat it?
It seemed that when I was on induction for any length of time, I would always get food poisoning-type sick. I landed myself in the hospital after eating a seasoned steak (fully cooked IMHO). Now, I cannot eat much steak..especially with that seasoning on it!
Im glad you got your health back! Will this change your eating patterns any?

Basic Metabolic Needs
Yes.. more or less WW point are about 50 cal/point...So 22 pts would be 1100 cal give or take..right?

Basic Metabolic Needs
My favorite site is caloriesperhour.com. Here is a nice link that shows your RMR, BMR, caloric needs...it has some great weight loss calculators.
http://www.caloriesperhour.com/index_burn.php

According to caloriesperhour:
If you want to lose weight, you can use the Weight Loss Calculator to calculate how many more calories you need to burn each day than you eat. This figure is called a calorie deficit.

calories eaten - calories burned = calorie deficit

Once you determine the calorie deficit you'd like to achieve, you can use the Food Calculator to calculate how much less you need to eat, or the Activity Calculator to calculate how much more you need to exercise. Or you can achieve the deficit you desire with a combination of eating less and exercising more.

If you eat 1200 cal/day but your RMR with activity factored in is 1500 cal/day, your deficit is 300..and in 10 days with these variables alone, youd burn 3000 extra calories....maybe this is what the DOCS are talking to you about? Eat less than you burn if you want to lose weight?

Fat Fast
I remember Lori's comment from earlier this week about something along the lines of doing anything..using her example she just did hahahaha! So I knew Lori would understand! That being said, I now believe her wanna-be-thin-or-else sickness is worse than mine! Laughing

And I know IM SICK!

Fat Fast
Like I posted in another spot, sometimes the mere discussion of Fat Fast brings out the finger-waggers and copied section of Atkins where it is dangerous. I say this after recently reviewing other low carb websites where people would ask about peoples' experiences on the Fat Fast, and theyd get more replies about its dangers than the positive or negative experiences on it that others have had.
This is understandable..its nice that people care about our diet choices... But like all fasts, they are temporary..and when done for a few days or so..probably wont do any harm.
I also noted, that there are people like myself, who dont choose to listen to the "danger" the Fat Fast may cause...and do it anyhow. I really want to incorporate this fast into induction until Ive lost my last 15 or so pounds. But Ill probably just do the modified version of the fast next time around.
Oh yeah, I also posted some cool entries about high fat diets..check em out! Dont forget the benefits of coconut oil too Cool
