Weight Loss/Maintenance

When we dropped the high protein diet we had to go to the calories in calories out routine. So far it is working but it takes a lot of time to track everything you eat at first but it does become routine. I really loved Steak, Pork, Sausage, Bacon, lots of eggs, processed meats but over did them and actually had what they call a silent heart attack. The stents have been in a month so we'll see how this all goes. Olive and Avocado oil are the only oils we use, but even limit those due to very high calorie content. When your body weight plateaus you have to either up your movement or lower calories again. When you get where you want to be you keep that amount of calorie intake. You'll get there, it's just hard to do all this and work full time, keep up with family, etc. Our bodies, some more than others are programmed to hold fat for a period of famine, which never happens. So it just keep building up weight from extra intake of calories. I read somewhere that it the weight gained from eating an extra 200 calories only takes 100 calories to maintain it. That's what I call efficient holding of weight.
