Monday Morning Processing
Lost another pound and haven't starved yet ~~ yea! Sometimes I actually have to force myself to eat to maintain my RDI because the thing I actually fear as much as going over my RDI is going too far beneath it that my body goes into starvation mode and my metabolism stalls even more.
Of course, I fear run on sentences too but that never stops me :-)
Anyway - the RDI thing has me puzzled but I've yet to have an administrator of FS address my post - I may go down into the fine print and look for a better link. I love FS with the diet tracking, food database and great community forums and nothing is perfect but my RDI recommendation has me baffled because when I checked to see if I needed to decrease it after a 35lb loss it recalculated to increase it by 400 more cals a day ~~~ in MY weird calculation mind that would be 2800 cals more a week and I'd be GAINING 1/2 pound a week.
So I keep thinking about this ... sure, if I am taking on more muscle I burn more calories so yeah I want my body to use food efficiently and not pack those empty cells with more fat but where's the line??? I mean, if MORE RDI will help me continue to LOSE weight and I just have it all wrong... then what was the problem in the first place when I estimate I was probably taking in about 3000 cals a day to maintain my starting weight of 285 for over 5 years? If going from 1400 RDI to 1800 RDI keeps me on my 1/2lb a weight loss goal... well, heck... 3000 a day should have taken me to that '95lb weakling' cliche.
Sure, sure, I know reality. I get SOME of it... that your body (per articles read) actually burns more calories processing SOME foods than it contains ~~~ I think I read that about apples. SOOOO maybe there is some incredible magic all knowing formula in the RDI calculator that looks back at 2 weeks of recorded foods and says 'wow, with the great food this gal is eating, why, she'd lose weight even faster if she increased her RDI BUT ONLY if she sticks with the same type foods.'
And if that's the case ~~ GREAT. Would LOVE to know THAT. Bring on the apples! Steam those brussels sprouts! Flip me up another egg-white omlette!
But I need to find more information on this ~~ because I'm an old lady and I've grown up battling weight and the catch phrase that keeps cycling in my mind, with reference to losing weight, is 'Eat Less, Exercise More.'
Oy Vey ~~~ we old gals are suppose to be wise know it alls :-) I must have missed that day in school.
