Since my digital bathroom scale does register .5 increments, I suppose I should report them here with that degree of specificity.
A poster indicated that 1,000 calories per day is a starvation diet, which hinders weight loss. That is probably true for most people, but my experience is that with anything over 1,500 calories I am gaining weight. I'm a petite, 50 year old woman who is just not a gym-goer. True, I get your average exercise in housework, walking around at school where I teach, or occasionally biking or Wii-ing with my kids. I try to do a few situps (25) every evening, along with a few leglifts (40 each side). That's practically nothing, I know, and I realize I need to kick that up a notch or two. But I would love to have some energy first... any energy.
Maybe with the iron supplements, though I don't feel even one iota bit more energetic after two days of taking 50 mg iron. Not yet.
Taking natural bovine supplements and eating well worked wonders at restoring my energy and reducing many of my related symptoms. It stopped my headache too.
