I have a couple of nutrition questions.?!


Question: I have a couple of nutrition questions.?
As some of you may know I have lost over 110 pounds in the past 14 months and now I am working on finding my daily caloric and fat intake to maintain my weight. Anyways, I have dropped to 140 pounds, which is kind of below where I wanted to be, and now I need to find my caloric and fat to maintain my weight. So I had some questions to ask on here and would like only legitimate responses to them. I don't want to be given false websites and dieting links.

1. How long does it take for your body to recognize there has been an increase in calories and fat? I increased my calories and fat starting yesterday, but weighed in this morning and lost about 0.5 pounds. How long is it before my body starts to recognize this increase?

2. Also, both of my electronic scales I believe are off on my weight simply because one of them increases my weight by 0.5 pounds after trying to weigh in a second time and the other gives me one weight and then slices 5 pounds from that weight. I am very confused on what my actual weight might be! Does anyone have any suggestions about alternative ways to check your body weight and how often should I do it?

3. Finally, does your body eventually stop losing weight or is that up to you to do? I don't want to get sick to the point that I will be in the hospital or die because I am so underweight, but I'm hoping that the body will eventually recognize when to stop losing weight.

If a couple of you could please answer these questions in legitimate ways that would be greatly appreciated! Thank you all so much for your help.

Answers:

1. Just weight yourself weekly, and take your average weekly weight gain over a month, not week to week changes, and especially not day to day changes. Water weight will make your weight change significantly over the course of a day, so if you take an average measurement over a period of time then you get a better idea of your actual weight change, without water weight being an issue.

2. Scales can give different results, that's why you should always weigh yourself on the same set of scales. Weighing on different scales will just make it look like your weight is going all over the place.

3. Unless you are sick your body will stop losing weight when you eat enough calories to sustain your current body weight, around 2500 for a man and 2000 for a woman.



Detoxing would be a great way to kick your wieght loss into gear, Cleaning your body from all the bad stuff will give you more energy to start and complete you workouts they way you should. Look at it as an oil change for a car, runs better with clean oil. Adios
