1790 calories!  Yikes!  That damn steak my dad made, it was so good I ate
it all.  862 calories from that alone.  Thank you FitDay, otherwise I'd
have had no idea.  I guess it's sort of balanced out by the fact that I
only ate 555 calories yesterday, (I was about to make dinner, then got
invited to a boy's house *grin*) but this is showing me I _really_ need to
get my portion sizes under control, because that did not look like a huge
steak to me, but calorie-wise it certainly was.

That's why I don't eat steak....when I'm actively trying to lose, that is.

Yeah, it wasn't a problem for the first 40 or so pounds, but I see I'm
going to have to put this on the "occasional" list, from now on, lol.  Or
maybe not wait until I'm ravenously hungry to eat it? Eat a big salad
first, then a truly normal steak portion, perhaps.  Ah well, I can only eat
them when my dad makes them anyway, so they're self limiting to some
extent.

Funny...I eat that many calories by 2pm. Still would have 1500 or so
to go after 1700.

I get bounces like that. Yesterday was a low day for me too and when I
woke up I was starving. TOday was high, but it evens out over time.

I also tend to have overly high beef calorie counts. There is always
excess beef in the pan and the plate, and trimming(depending upon the
cut). I never bother to try and figure how much fat isn't being eaten.
Ground beef is an obvious one. I make lots of chili/taco filling. 85%
lean forms a decent pool of grease. I run the loose beef in a colander
with hot water cause I don't like chilli to be greasy. I Still count
it in the calories even though I've drastically cut that fat--and
therefore significant cals.

Hi Luna,

I symphatize with you.  I have the same problem.

I have learned about decreasing calories to loose weight; lowering
carbs to control appetite/hunger/cravings and exercise to keep the
body/mind fit.

I'll be honest and admit portion size is my weakness. Firstly, I don't
like counting stuff and measuring, etc., secondly I have no time and
thirdly I delude
myself in thinking I'm a fairly good approximator of cals/carbs by
simply eyeballing food portion.

To count calories accurately food need to be weighted properly (with a
good scale), and have reliable source for the true caloric value of a
particular food.  However, measuring tools are not always at our
disposal.  So what to do?  Visualizing is one method, although not
100% accurate, it gives an idea. To be on the safe side, add 10%
cals/carbs when you don't know for sure.  Why 10%. Just a number I
choose at random. It's up to you add 2%, or 25% or whatever.  I like
to be a strict with calories.

Example 1: Take a bag of almonds weighing 100gr = 650 cals. This
amount fits in the cup of my hand (ok a few bits fell on the floor).
If I want to consume half the calories, I will eat half of what's in
my hand (325 cals). That's easy enough, but I'm not sure if I have
eaten EXACTLY half, so, to be on the safe side I add 10% of 325 cals.

Example 2: Let's say a 4oz steak (cooked) = 350 cals (I made up the
numbers for argument sake);  this size steak fits nicely in the palm
of my hand. I, now, know what a 4oz steak look like, and how many
calories it has. With that base I can decrease or increase the portion
size because I can visualize what a 4oz steak looks like in my palm or
plate if you prefer.

I like this method it's fast and easy  and my hand will always be
there to help ;)  fingers are good to measure cheese.

Remember the first Atkins book back in the 1970's that said you could
eat all the steak you wanted. If you wanted 2 or 3 steaks for dinner eat
them. Whatever happened to that theory.

It stills work for some. Yesterday was a pigout day for me, but I'm
testing soemthing that I think causes craving for some odd reason. I
ate over 3100 calories! Haven't done that in 6-7 weeks. I had munchies
and my eyes were too big for my appetite. My appetite without the
carbs has maintained me down to under 2000 calories average. Which is
very good for my body. However if it didn't get me that low I would
have to use willpower or look for something else to possibly push down
further later in my loss.

I do eat whenever I'm hungry... I also make sure I'm not
thirsty--which we sometimes confuse for hunger.

I think it works in the beginning.  When you've only a few pounds to lose,
though, it doesn't work.  Plus, there was a change for me -- when I did
induction, I was totally starving, looking for sweets or something I
guess.  This happened for quite a while. I ate like a horse.  Now, I eat a
lot less.

I have that edition, along with the 1995 DANDR.  Neither ever says any
such thing, but it's a popular misinterpretation.

Eat enough to be satisified doesn't mean eat all you want.

Some people decided that they wanted to chronically over eat, so they
failed to lose.  Too much is still too much just like too little is still
too little.

In later editions he forbid over eating but didn't give any guidelines.
He figured that if you give people food that triggers no cravings at
all, none will over eat and few will under eat.  It's true for more
people than you would think but it isn't true for everyone.

Hi Pat,

I used to be hungry a lot. Is it the low carbs or high fat content
that gives one satiation? Or some combination of both?

Now I'm at about 1700 to 1900 Calories a day, whereas before I was at
2500+ Calories a day. This way of eating has helped control my
appetite a lot, and reduces my Calorie intake without any thought
about it on my part. Just seems to happen naturally, so far.

From your post, it appears this trend will not continue and I'll have
to start counting Calories as well as carbs?

But I have a long way to go ... today is day 10 on induction.

Yeah, I know that.  But I'm aiming for around 8x my body weight, or less if
I can eat less and not feel too hungry.  I weigh 156 pounds, so I'm trying
for a weekly average of around 1200 calories.  So far, even with
yesterday's pig-out, I'm doing ok.  My 5 day average is 1190.  Since I
don't have a scale yet, that may not be exact, though I'm measuring as best
I can.

Believe or not, but hunger over the short term at least, doesn't increase
beyond how you feel when you first get those pangs.  It subsides.

I mention it only because I used to fear being hungry...after fasting (i'm
doing it again now), I've learned not to fear it.

That's another part of my experiment.  I want to remain "a little hungry"
but not ravenously hungry.  I want to maintain as much as possible that
feeling I have when I'm hungry enough to eat something if someone else
makes it, but not hungry enough to get up and cook for myself.

Maybe so...funny thing, though.  I used to regular experience these terrible
morning headaches if I didn't eat enough the day before.  At least that's
what I though caused them. Also, I've familar with the ravenous hunger you
refer too, and I have a fear of just that -- plus those headaches.  However,
neither one has shown up.  And this is my second fast of this type (well,
actually, the first one was just eating way way under normal -- this one is
a non-eating fast).  You mentioned eating only 550 kcals the other day -- so
you're not that far away.  The only thing is I exercise on my days.

Yeah that is a person-to-person thing. I've never experienced that.
People complain of intense headaches when they are too hungry--I've
never had that, even when skipping multiple meals.  Mentally, this may
be prejudicial in someway, I've always thought that women seemed to
complain about this more often than men.

Wow, amazing stuff. Ihave never fasted for more than 38 hours. (my
standard fast is 36 hours from meal to meal). Can you tell me more how
it is going for you? Feeling good? Is your memory okay? Are you
irritable or forgetful?

Well, I'm not sure I'm beyond 36 hours yet........I'm feeling
fine...probably getting a bit irritable, though...and thinking about when
I'm going to eat next :) I would like to go until Wednesday morning, when I
plan to have a protein meal (chicken breast).  I guess I didn't start
counting until Monday morn, when I would normally have eaten.  Do you count
from your last meal?  Honestly, if I had the time, I go for a nice walk
right this moment.  Instead, exercise will have to wait until I get home
tonight -- that will make it hard because the stationary takes incredible
mental intensity to mount and ride for 40 minutes (I've already put in one
40 minute bout today, and two yesterday), especially when you've been doing
it a lot.

that's the same as I experience after about 24 hours of not eating.

you know, there are issues about breaking the fast if you fast long
enough. Be careful with starting to eat after a prolonged fast. That's
about all I know as I do not do prolonged fasts.

Be careful with intense stuff, as your glycogen may be depleted. I
personally do not run etc during fasts, perhaps due to being overly
cautious. I do walk though, as, I figure, the rate of fat to energy
conversion is good enough for walking.

Okay....I was planning to have a light protein meal....just to get protein
in to prevent muscle loss.  Let's see...by about 7 pm tonight it will be 48
hours since my last meal...so by the 7 am Wednesday morn, it will be 60
hours.  It doesn't seem like much to me right now....I'm not even hungry (it
comes and goes)..

Right...my cardio now is longish, but not really intense....400 kcals in 40
minutes...Also, I'm off from lifting this week (my SD period on HST).  The
neat thing about this though, is that I'm never far from food, so if I get
strange I can just eat.  And I can stop working out anytime I want.  But
cardio on the stationary is pretty easy since there are no hits.  I'm not
sure if I'd want ot get on my road bike while fasting....I'd be afraid of
zonking while fighting up a hill or something....out on some road
somewhere....or if  a dog got after me (I'd get off and punch it out :) )

BTW, I found that one of the best ways to deplete glycogen is to fast!  So
next time I do UD2, I'm going to be seriously cutting cals.

Okay...I'm really starting to feel a bit weak now....right before getting on
the stationary....I may have to eat something later.

Well, try to stay safe, it is only good while you are feeling well,
IMHO.

Yep....about the time I was about to get on the bike, around 8pm or so, I
didn't feel too good.  As I started riding, things didn't get better.  I've
found before that sometimes hunger will disappear once I start exercising.
That didn't happen last night and I started getting a bit shaky.  Since I
live alone -- it might be days before someone decides to check on my
whereabouts and figure out that I've fallen and can't get up ( :) ), so I
got off the bike and ate about 550 calories worth of LC food. Then, I felt
full and had a barfing sensation.  Strange. I'm back on food today. :)

Up until then, I didn't find the experience bad at all.  I may implement a
regular Monday fast into my plan.  We'll see.  Not that i'm gonna do it
right now, but if I were to do UD2 on a regular basis, that would actually
work well, I think.  Something to think about once I get leaner.

To me, a one day fast is all I care to do in this department, and
I find it highly helpful in maintaining my weight. (because it lets me
eat more on other days). Plus, I have a theory that it improves my
insulin sensitivity, as I regularly deplete my glycogen.

That does it.  From now on, if Roger doesn't post within 24
hours, call 911  : )

:) I'm quite alright now....I had about 1800 kcals yesterday (with about 700
kcals of exercise) and I'm on track for 1800 kcal today and 800 kcals of
cardio.  I am a little drained, though.

How the heck do you do that?  Doesn't it mess up your sugar?

Not that I can detect.  After 48 hours went by, I started feeling badly.
So, I've now eaten about 500 kcals.  I think that will do me for today and
I'll go back to normal tomorrow.

Or not, because:

There ya go.  You under eat one day and balanced it out the next.

Calories aren't an everday-day-without-exception thing.  If you go
under one day, go over the next and average it out.  If you go
over one day, go under the next and average it out.

Takes a few deep breaths.  You did fine.

That's more than I've eaten today I think :)

3 fried eggs
1 zoneperfect bar
3 oz peanuts
2 oz Valrhona 71% cocoa...

But I have a portion of chicken stew (with veggies, beans, redwine,
heavy cream) I made Sunday in the micro as I write this.
