I'm very appreciative of all the people that tries helping me to lose weight in the proper way. I have tried many diets and done much research. One site told me to eat 1800 cals. a day & exercise at least 30 mins a day to lose 2 lbs a week. I did it for 30 days & gained 16 lbs. I've found if I eat over 1200 cals a day, I will not lose wt., & probably will gain. I tried the Paleo Diet for 30 days & lost 15 lbs. Now I'm doing Paleo & Low Carb combined. I do eat vegs, meat, eggs, breads made out of coconut, almond, & flax flour. I do not eat wheat,oats, rice, etc. If I want noodles I eat the ones made of sea weed, or make my own from zucchini. I get a physical every 6 mos, & blood work every 3 mos. Everything was good except my cholesterol was a bit high. After losing weight on Paleo diet the latest test was normal levels. I do have arthritis pretty bad, but do exercise most everyday.
I'm often told I don't eat enough, & my body goes into starvation mode. I wonder if there are exceptions to that? Because I've found that if I follow a normal diet that includes breads, starches, beans, etc. I will gain weight. I will feel sluggish. I take fish oil, Vit. D, CoQ-10, Magnesium, & a couple more daily. Most days I walk unless my knees hurt really bad. If so I ride a stationary bike. I lift wts, do pull ups, & about a couple hrs a day work in the yard or house. That's about it. Oh I ate a small Reuben sandwich about a week ago for supper. A veg. salad & avocado stuffed with peppers, boiled egg, on bed of lettuce for lunch, & a slice of Lox w/cream cheese for breakfast. Except for the Reuben sandwich, nothing new. Next morning I gained 3 lbs. The sandwich weighed about 6 or 8 ozs. It was store bought.

I don't believe that one size fits all when it comes to dieting. If you've found what works for you, power to you! I really believe that I'll probably need to adjust my intake (or maybe my whole diet stategy) between now and when I reach my goal weight. There's a lot of knowledge here on this site and then there's a few that I consider to be "way out there". Don't get me wrong.......I'm not judging. I'm just trying to find what will work best for me. I plan to keep trying until I get it right! Good luck to both of us. Dennis

We are all different that's for sure. 1200 calories a day does seem low for a guy of your weight. One thing I would suggest is that you judiciously weight or measure everything you eat, then log it in to fatsecret, that way you know as accurately as you can the calories, fat, carbs, protein, and sodium of what you're eating. That might help you better determine what you can and can't eat and quantities/calories. We each have to find out what works for us and plan our strategy accordingly. Best wishes to your for success!
