That means eating 5-7 smaller meals, every 2-3 hrs. Don't look at any of them as snacks. Make them all heathly clean meals, just smaller than the traditional 3 large meals per day. THIS will keep the metabolism raised & provide better nutrients to your body. And yes, you were not eating enough cal's per day at 1200. Your body reacted by slowing things down. 1 lb of BF is equivalent to 3500 cal's. So it takes burning 3500 cal's MORE THAN CONSUMED to drop 1 lb of BF. So 1-2 lbs per weeks is doing very well. Just don't starve yourself trying to get there. GOOD LUCK. :D Space out your eating throughout the day, spacing it evenly. That means eating 5-7 smaller meals, every 2-3 hrs.

It's just a alternative to pancakes. There is that saying "nothing tastes as good as looking good".

I would also recommend to plan out your meals in advance and stick with your plan, and make sure you are eating about every 3 hours to keep you full. Once you get in a routine it will get easier. Also plan for a meal to cheat, it will keep you sane. Yes, good advice from NIcky.

Don't beat yourself up too much for not losing more. While it is possible, the greater the rate of weight loss, the less healthy the loss is, and also greater the chance of rebound.

It talks about saunas and says something like do a sauna or steam bath at least so many times a week because it helps your metabolism. I cant find the exact page right now with the data. But it was something to do with killing off free radicals or something that are blocking your metabolism from soaring. Sounded like a hot bath might do the same thing... I scanned that part last night before bed so the details are kinda fuzzy, but ... Something to think about if he is not just another diet $$ grinder. So far lots of stuff he says makes sense so...

The vast majority of any weight you lose in a sauna is just water . . . and it goes back on pretty fast once you start hydrating again. We used to use them in wrestling to drop weight before weigh-ins. Guys could temporarily shed several pounds before hitting the official scale, but it went right back up rapidly once they got fluid back in them.
