Trouble dropping weight with exercise and diet.? -

Figured I would bring a question that my wife was seeking some input on.We are both active people, sometimes when things get busy or whatever, we don t exercise as much or eat out more often, this usually adds a few pounds on us. I m not talking much weight we are both average to athletic builds. Just start to get a little thicker.Anyway we both put on about 10 extra pounds throughout the year, nothing that we haven t done or lost before. Actually I know a fair amount about weight loss as I lost 30lbs about 5 years back. My wife has been Biking probably 20 km or more religiously a day. Eats perfectly, right amount of calories to target healthy weight loss, and eats a proper balance of food at proper intervals throughout the day, drinks plenty of water and takes vitamins. She has been doing this consistently since September, with no weight loss, some body improvement, but I do not think it s do to creating muscle mass. This week she has started to gain weight?Anybody have any ideas what might be causing this?

The problem is that you have been listening to the wrong people for advice on how to manage your weight. Calorie intake is what drives the adipose tissue (fat tissue) to produce a hormone called Leptin or not. This hormone is released when the body senses it is in a starvaton mode. Grains, even whole wheat, etc., greatly affects this leptin release. When you eat carbs, you get quick, fleeting energy from them, even the high density ones. This type of calories causes leptin to be released because your body feels like it is in a starvation mode. Fat is where the body gets sustained energy, unlike carbs that are like the kindling on a fire and fat is like the logs.If you are eating a low fat diet, this is very destructive to the body. We were designed to eat fat and in fact, primitive men and women ate primarily wild animals and wild fish as their primary food intake and very little fruits and vegegables. They had NO cavities, good jaw formation, great body physique and resistant to most diseases.Going for extended periods of time without food was normal for our ancestors, so the body is designed to deal with that very nicely by eating fat. If you eat good fats, you will not get hungry between meals and the Leptin trigger will not affect your metabolism negatively.The Leptin hormone regulates the way the body utilizes insulin and glucagon and thereby controls the metabolism. When you get the right diet of fat and start eating less carbs and more protein as well, you will notice that you won t plateau the way you do on these crazy low fat, low salt diets.There is a very good book you should read that will give you a lot of incite into this issue called, Life Without Bread by Christian Allan, Ph.D. Read it and I think you will be on your way to having a much healthier diet.good luck to you

This is a healthy way of eating that will help lose weight or just maintain weight depending on how many times you stray from the structure.You can lose 10-25 pounds in one month... safely. Just follow these rules. There are also several recipe books and recipes on her web site.I lost 92 pounds, down from 325 lbs. The first week I started eating this way I lost 8 pounds... but it was probably because I was so big to begin with.The rules are...Food group 1Fats, meats, oils, cream, butterFood group 2Veggies (no avocado or potatoes or carrots, these turn immediately to sugar when they hit your saliva).Food group 3Carbohydrates, rice, pasta, potatoes, non fat milk.Food group 4Fruit, eat only in the morning, on an empty stomach, about an hour before breakfast, not after. Don t eat it at night.Rule... eat anything from group 1 with anything from group 2.Rule... eat anything from group 2 with anything from group 3.Rule... Do NOT eat group 1 with group 3.Rule... No soda, caffeines, whole milk, yogurt, avocados, bananas all of these have fat and carbos so when you want to lose weight don t eat them. Afterwards you can.Picture this in your head, insulin from your pancreas is secreted, to help digest sugars, and anything digested with it will be stored as fat. So if you want the pasta and bread, don t have the butter or oil or meat, instead have a marinara tomato sauce, or sauted veggies with garlic, no oil or butter with carbos... remember.I hope this helps and if you need any help on this let me know. I will be glad to help.

sure. You burn the same amount of calories as you consume. People often forget that you have to work really hard just to sustain your recent weight. That is what you were doing.Gain weight - hard to tell, you are sketchy, maybe several reasons: some food which you forget to include in your calorie count (chewing gum, sweet drinks, other?), maybe she eats protein after and before her workouts - a sure way to gain weight under the muscles, eating more that usual (exercising boost your appetite), and many others.In short, you should be more strict to yourself. Lower your daily calorie intake a little - 100 to 200 calories will do; exercise more Intense. People love themselves and often overestimate their efforts when losing weight and getting fit.
