As I read through your daily food journals, it seems like your meals are pretty small! Do you know how many calories each day has? Would you recommend similar portions/meals for someone just starting out with this type of eating (and has 80+ lbs to lose)
Thank you!
Hi Karen, As always it’s best to speak with your physician about what they recommend. Because I had over 100 lbs to lose my doctor recommend that I cut my caloric intake to 800 calories a day. I never tracked my calories religiously but most days I figure I fall somewhere around 1,000.
