Strawbsie when you are on a restricted calorie diet your body goes into "famine" mode to conserve energy. Most of us have had it drummed into us that you need to eat less to lose weight. Over time many people actually appear to be eating very little, and then binge on the wrong things when threy feel starved. Your metabolism is slowed down and everything you eat put into fat reserves. So this paradox at WW exists to get your body moving again. When your body gets enough nutrition it can again start to function properly and excrete what it does not need. Your body then stops being so protective about its fat cells and allows them to shrink. If you really feel as if you have been given too many points ( you may be on a threshold that your instructor felt it better to start you off on the upper limit for your weight) then bank the 4 points you are allowed to and see if that suits you better.
Thanks my Jem!
I found that I was eating junk just to make up my points but I wont do that anymore!
I reckon I will save my points, then I have a drink on the weekend haha
Im off swimming tonight... :eek: and I found that my baggies are a tight fit but come hell or high water, Im not swimming without them! I just hope I dont show myself up and not be able to swim one length!
Well I will have to swim slowly as doing exercise gives you bonus points and I have more than enough right now! :o
