I wasn't sure where to post this message, so I apologize if this isn't the right spot. There seems to be a lot of messages/questions about dieting. I'm certainly not an expert, but I just wanted to share with everyone the nutrition plan that worked for me. It's called Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle (www.burnthefat.com). Basically, it's a very sensible, no nonsense way to approach to eating. I lost weight on Weight Watchers but plateaued because I wasn't EATING ENOUGH! I figured I was eating about 1200-1400 calories a day. Add in a Cathe workout that burned about 500 calories and I was only netting 700-900 calories!! I learned on BFFM, that my body needs about 2400 calories a day just to SUSTAIN itself - no wonder my body went into starvation mode. Now, my goal is to eat 1800 calories a day, eating very clean, healthy foods. My body has responded quite nicely. Since October, I dropped 4% body fat and over 5 inches overall. I will say that Tom Venuto approaches fitness with a no-excuses, it's-not-going-to-be-easy approach. It does take discipline and commitment to achieve the type of body we want.
BFFM along with Cathe's workouts are truly the best combination of diet and exercise you can find, IMHO.
