Posts: 61	PCRM's guide to weight loss Posted Sunday, October 10, 2010 at 10:33 PM If I follow this and I am working out with weights and cardio, will this be enough food? It calls out for 1500 cals a day and checking off the things you eat (veggies are free :wink Just wondering

I'm not familiar with it. PCRM usually doesn't recommend calorie-counting, as far as I know. Molly Horn

Posts: 61	RE: PCRM's guide to weight loss Posted Monday, October 11, 2010 at 1:52 AM http://www.pcrm.org/health/prevmed/weightloss.html I found it in the FAQ section under the health tab. It's really not saying to count calories but they list number of servings and if you consume everything they put on the list you come out to about 1500.

You will get enough calories if you eat until you are satisfied. For most of us, when we work out, we're hungrier, so our bodies tell us to eat more. And that's fine when eating this way! The serving numbers are really suggestions, and 1500 calories is an average amount of calories for weight loss. Note that the legumes and vegetables say "at least" the recommended amount of servings. I'd put whole fruit and whole grains in that category too. Summary: don't worry about counting the calories. Focus on eating whole plant foods and watch the fat.

I haven't really explored those articles too much, but that is a really good one. And of course, Susan is spot-on in her recommendation. Molly Horn
