Question regarding calories

iamaloser · 07-09-2010, 02:31 PM

I am new to this and posted it in the July forum, but maybe I was supposed to start a new thread. Not sure, so if I broke the rules I apologize!

I am so confused and hope someone can answer my question. I am on week 6, down 20 pounds, and this past week was 3 pound loss, none of it was fat. The NP told me it was because I am not eating enough and I should be up to 800 calories at this stage. I have never heard anything about 800 calories. All I have known up to this point was 500 calories plus 2 veggies or 1 veggies/1 fruit to equal 600. I didn't question her on it because I thought I didn't read my materials correctly, so I came home, read the book inside out, and still don't see anything about 800 calories. What is she talking about??

Also, do you know if it is possible to switch clinics to another location without paying for the initial consulatation again? Seems like this one is not too well-trained. Or can I go back and forth to different clinics?

Every clinic is different and every person's plan is different so you just have to go by what your clinic is telling you. However if you don't trust them I would look into going someplace else. I have no idea if you have to pay the fee again.

Welcome to the group! The July thread was a perfect place for you to post. And you will most probably get a lot of responses there.
