BP- 116/70 which is quite good for my age (I think)
Weight- 110kgs, same as last time it was done when I was living in Essex. That’s disappointing given I’ve cut right back on the takeaways ie 4-5 since being here from September 24th. In same time at Essex I would have had 45-50.
I guess what they say here is true .
Unless you’re calorie counting you’re fooling yourself.
Isnt ur blood pressure low its should be 80 right…
I don’t think it just comes down to calorie counting, I think one also has to figure out how they get those calories in the most healthy and nutritious way. I could easily fill my daily calorie allowance by drinking a can of soda an then not eating anything for the rest of the day, and technically I’d have won the calorie game, but it wouldn’t give me sufficient energy nor be very healthy.
You’d think they’d have sorted the weight gain issue by now , but I guess it’s easier to blame it on bad eating habits rather than making much effort to produce better medications.
90/60 is reckoned to be low.
If APs mess with your gut microbes, would taking probiotics and fermented foods help?
Do you know a few basic simple meals fire that are healthy and easy to cook. Like a baked potatoe with beans and cheese for example ? It’s very easy to do. Bake the potatoe in oven. Microwave beans for s minute and grate cheese on potatoe.
Sometimes I add a little calslaw on the side. I eat this once per week.
Also I bake some spicey chicken wings and have it with a corn on the cob and calslaw. You just throw the chicken in the oven.
The hardest part is getting to the store. That always is not done and I sometimes opt for the takeaway too.
Looked at myfitness pal it said to lose 2lbs a week= 1500 calories a day.
Looked at http://www.changingshape.com/calculators/daily-calorie-intake/
Resting metabolic rate: Step 1: Multiply your body weight by 10.
Step 2: Determine what your overall activity level is - very active=add 60% - 80% to your RMR; moderately active=add 40% - 60%; generally sedentary, add 20% - 40%.
For example, if you weigh 150-pounds and consider yourself to be moderately active, then the following equation - 1500 + (1500 x 50%) = 1500 + 750, or 2250 calories - is would apply to you. Be sure to enter your particular numbers into this equation in order to find out exactly what your caloric intake should be each and every day.
I’m sedentary therefore to maintain weight =242x10=2420 +30% of 2420(726)= 3146 calories to maintain weight.
To lose 2lbs a week = minus 1000 calories a day=2146 calories.
I see that as you lose weight you need less calories to lose 2lbs a week but starting at 1500 calories I’d be losing 3.292 lbs a week. That’s more than the the recommended 1-2lbs a week. If you lose weight too fast there’s more chance you’ll put it back on.
Yeah myfitnesspal does that. You can get into it and set the calorie goal to whatever you want.
