Re: Macrobiotics and weight loss
I too have weight to lose, and I am a working result of popular weight loss options that produce fast results. I lost 120 lbs! BUT! gained 1/2 back 3 times. (No desire to mention what diet because this is not about that diet) To maintain this moderate level of weight gain (yes moderate because many I know gain it all back) I trained 2 hours per day, running, cycling, weights, masters swim club, kayaking etc. I was exhausted physically, and mentally on the regime because I was putting my body through severe pain while starving myself. I have been on a 3 year struggle with trying to keep it off. I am new to macro lifestyle (4 weeks in) and I have 60 lbs to lose again. What I have is faith that I need to trust myself and listen to what everyone is saying. As a macro if you chew, and eat till you are satisfied, you will return to your natural body weight. I only pray its not this weight!
I plan to hit the gym and expect, with the proper foods I will be able to maintain the physical activity level I previously endured, but this time I might enjoy it!
