I am on a diet and in about 10 lbs. I will be at my target weight. Once I get to my target weight what amount of calories can I consume in a day to maintain my weight?

I’ve read so many conflicting views on this. A lot of research I’ve read says that your diet isn’t so important as the amount of calories you take in. However, many people still think that what you eat goes directly into your breastmilk. Which is it?

I am training someone to run, what is the diet of a runner?
We are putting in around 50 miles a week. I know diet is important but I don’t know how or what one should eat? I am afraid this is my weak link and I need help. Running these miles leave very little time for any thing but running, eating and sleeping. I think diet might make a difference and open up more time for other things. Where can I go to find the proper diet, amount of calories , and what foods to eat?

www.EatStopEat.com – Fasting for Weight loss. Weight loss Exercises – Brad Pilon explains the surprising effect that exercise has on weight loss. _______________________________________________________________________ I don’t beleive in Starvation Mode (If you’ve read my book you know why). However, I do believe in diminishing returns when it comes to weight loss exercises like running or walking. The amount of calories running or walking causes you to burn (above and beyond your normal resting metabolic rate) is dictated by how much you weigh and how far you move. If you lose weight then these exercises burn less calories. And, it doesn’t matter if this weight is fat OR muscle. The bottom line – The more weight you lose the less effective these exercises become at burning calories. You can watch my video for more details. _______________________________________________________________________ Brad Pilon is the author of Eat Stop Eat, an easy and effective weight loss program based on the combination of flexible intermittent fasting and resistance training.

okay, so I know almost everything there is to know about losing weight effectively. I love to give advice to people on how to lose weight. Am I in good shape? Hellz no! I am 50 lbs overweight and 21 years old in college. I know all this stuff about losing weight, yet I cannot apply to myself. Why am I not strong enough to do this? I can barely resist eating. I love food so much. Taco bell, pizza, quesadillas, hot pockets, cola, the list goes on. I am addicted to food, I eat when I’m not hungry because I crave the taste of it. I have asked for the strength to resist these temptations but to no avail. It seems hopeless that I will ever be average weight. I dont’ need weight loss advice per se…I need ways to become strong enough to resist my strongest temptations…any suggestions?
I should mention that I do get up off my butt and try to stay active, I’m not that lazy, it’s just that the amount of calories I am able to consumer is far more I can burn off at my activity level, in the shape I am in, I can’t do extremely heavy workouts, in fact running hurts my legs, any kind of weight training will deal a lot of pain, right now, I basically try to walk a lot, because it’s basicall what I can do right now without noticing bad side effects.
