Why so slow....?

Some people when they decide to lose weight can lose 2-3 lbs in the first week and easily maintain the pace of 1 lb. a week thereafter.  I as a petite woman with only about 10 lbs. to lose, have to FIGHT for ever ounce!

Here is a good article explaining why this is...

Slow Fat Loss

I did some math.  A woman my size, and age needs about 1500 calories a day to "maintain".  That is 10,500 calories a week.  Say I want to lose a pound a week, which means I need a 3500 calorie deficit.  That leaves me 7000 calories or a whopping 1000 calories a day, just to lose one stinking pound.

This is why I am loving intermittent fasting!  I fast 3 24 hour periods a week and I can actually eat like a human being instead of a bird when I do eat!  LOVE IT.
