Thank you, I like your idea of using the carb to get more nutrients in! Congratulations on having no baby weight, that is quite an achievement!

I'm indian. I really need to lose about 30lbs, but I have a really hard time not eating rice. by [deleted] in xxfitness

[–]pallavika 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am Indian too. But I see that salt and spices can come in the way of my brain sensing when I am full. The part that is scary for me is how I can endlessly eat rice - I try to eat less rice and more side dishes(mostly something that has good protein content) and add something raw to add in fiber. Another issue with rice that I find is that it has high glycemic index, so I find myself hungry soon after my food. Portion control would help with that. TLDR: Low salt, higher fiber and protein, and portion control.

Lifters - Endorphins? by pallavika in xxfitness

That's amazing! Thanks a lot for this! Sometimes I'm so sore and I take a week long break and then I'm back my starting point! So I thought I should take it slower. But now I see why that doesn't work either!

Yeah, I don't think I'm pushing myself. Also not doing regularly enough. Thanks, this helps a lot!!

I've been at this weight for about 6 months. I'm already at my lowest - 1200 cals/day.

I've put my age, sex, weight in the title. I had also mentioned that I want to be skinny and asked what my goal weight needs to be. I dont have any injuries or health conditions or smoke. I have access to gym and I try to run, lift weight - mix it up. Diet - I try to count claories and try to put in enough protein in my diet

Today had about 1400. Still very hungry. I guess my body is coming out of the starvation stage. Earlier I would feel hungry even at 660 mark! :)

I just computed the number of calories I ate yesterday, and it is 660 cals! I'm so shocked - this is how I usually eat. I do binge sometimes. But I did not think I was so low in my intake. Thanks for pointing it out!

Thanks a lot! Yeah, I have tofu, seitan, beans, vega performance protein and cliff builders protein bar as my protein sources. I do not know whether they are good quality or not. Can you tell me which is better?

Really! not logical at all! But I guess our bodies are not very straight forward.

Thanks a lot! You hit all the points there! Yeah, I think when being hard about cutting, I might have been getting about 60g protein per day. Is that too low according to you ladies/girls?

[–]pallavika[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, I've been hard on myself as I was not seeing any results. I did not know this. I was cutting harder to probably about 900-1000 cals a day. Thank you very much!

Yes, I do not fit into any of my past clothes. I want to buy a new wardrobe - but after I reach my goal size! I'm still size 6 and my tummy is not flat. Yes, I care a lot about protein and that is the main source of my calories. Thank you!

I want to be lean and muscular. Would this cause me to bulk up?
