Not to be insulting to Jamie (gl bro) but he either has a hard time controlling himself or planing smart when it comes to food. So now we are going to add in big (even moderate) amounts of new exercise that hes not usually doing? Hes going to be ravenously hungry and eat back all or more calories than he lost during exercise. That pattern can be very depressing and negatively impact his progress. He needs to figure out a realistic meal plan and work on sticking to that first imo.
can we post names of free apps here? is so...
hey Jamie get mapmywalk (free), myfitnesspal(free), get a food scale, prep your meals, and figure out your TDEE/BMR.
Was watching that season of The Biggest Loser when Ruben Studdard from American Idol was a contestant, and it did seem like they made sure to do several things right from the start, besides just exercise? Seem to remember the coaches meeting with each person to try and figure out what sort of need food represented to them - so then they could find other ways to comfort or reward themselves, like with phone calls home, or a treat like more time with the coach, or a spa visit, or stuff like that?
And then also remember the coaches setting up some sort of game where not-good stuff would happen if anyone ate eat junk food - guess so they'd really see it as not worth it the temporary enjoyment?
Remember reading something in US Magazine about how quite a few of the past contestants have managed to keep the weight off - so maybe taking that extra time to change what food represented to people made a lasting difference? Maybe helpful for anyone wanting to try to change a habit of any kind?
Haven't heard too many stories of people try to gain weight on purpose - it seems like it would be really unpleasant to eat when not hungry! And weights are so heavy
