This was a particularly good thing for me to have listened to. Thanks for making it available, Nir.
[To Hisgal:
Sometimes different servers have difficulty accepting different websites; there may be something in the website that conflicts with something in your server's security settings. I'm no geek, but my son and husband are always saying something like this to me when I can't hear something that should be playing, and then they do their geek thing, and all is well. (I sometimes suspect that they had disconnected my speakers and just reconnect them again, but I don't really think that's the case.)]
I already posted this below as part of my diary today, but I later saw that here is probably where it belongs.
Anyway, the thing that got me excited was his explanation of the fact that fat cells aren't just lumps of fat, sitting there waiting to be melted, like I liked to think of them. They have neurons and they transmit messages to the rest of the body.
When we cut calories and start to lose weight, we can plateau because the fat cells signal the rest of the body that we are being starved, calling on the rest of the body to save us. So we feel hunger and our bodies' metabolism slows way down to keep us from starving to death.
He said that if we stay about 20% below our maintenance level of Calories each day for 3 or 4 days, we not only can but should increase our intake of Calories, including carbs, to around maintenance and maybe more on day 4 or 5 to reassure our bodies that they are not starving, so metabolism stays up and we continue to lose.
That was so great to hear, because it allows me to cut Calories (particularly carbs) and still be able to enjoy birthday cake and lasagna, etc, at all my kids' birthdays, which I would have done anyway, but now I can do it and feel quite righteous about it!
What I'm going to do now is to go to my calendar and mark off all my big celebration days, like Thanksgiving, Christmas, birthdays, Halloween parties, etc. and set it up that these are my "up the Calories and carbs to keep my body from going into starvation mode days". This is so great! Maybe on non-celebratory weeks, I'll just use Sundays for that (or Saturdays if kids come home on Friday nights and go back on Sunday afternoons, oh well, whatever works...) Anyway, if I plan it ahead, then I can be sure I keep on the 3 or 4 days lo Calory to 1 day maintenance, and not mess myself up on this.
I also have to get myself down to the weight room and the pool at the academy, because, much as I like walking outdoors, it's true that I need to do some muscle building in the fieldhouse.Last edited on 1 September 2007 09:38 pm by newstart
