What you have done is started to eat like a man that weighs 150 lbs, which is a lot closer to your "ideal" weight of 200-220. It stands to reason you are losing weight. Each pound of fat is aprox. 3500 calories. So, by diet alone you should lose about 3 pounds per week for the first few weeks. As you lose the weight, the weight loss from diet alone will taper off (logically). The excercise is the key once you've reach a plateau in weight loss from diet alone.
When you get down around 240ish, you will need to excercise more to get that last bit off.
So yeah, you are starving yourself. But 1500 calories is actually very sufficient if you make them count. Fruit/veggies and lean meat should be the staples of your diet. Eliminate fluid calories (soda/beer/milk/juice) and try to add a little more protein and a few less carbs(not preaching, just telling you what worked for me).
Keep it up bro, its great to hear  And for the record you basil metabolic rate is not 10x your body weight.
So many stupid clueless people in this section of the forum.

You have no goddamn clue what the hell you are talking about.
Funny how you tell me him to listen to me, but then you agree with that he is damn near starving himself.
You might want to go do some research on weight loss.
You're just wrong dude. I know what I'm talking about because I have doen the research and lost the weight. You "googled" weight loss. Congrats.
1500 calories is far from starving. Are you friggin serious?

Of course you are losing tons of weight. You are practically starving yourself. In in addition to fat you are also losing muscle.
Yeah, its called a diet

LOL, I was definitely not wrong and did not google weight loss. I know what basil metabolic rate is and what the purpose of it is. I told the OP to google it so he could do the research and learn something.
Basil metabolic rate is not 10x your body weight so you may want to go and look it up.
A person his size takes well over 3000 calories to maintain their weight.
That being the case you do not cut you caloric intake in half when you go on a diet. Would like me to explain why that is?

If he is 40 it takes from 3100 to 3300 calories to maintain 306 lbs.
I said your bmr was roughly 10x your weight. Its a good estimator. His would actually be 2500ish...
I dont need you to explain anything as I know more than you do no doubt.
Im sure you'll tell me to "look it up"  |

Right thats why you tell OP its ok to drop his caloric intake by half when hes just starting a diet.
No question about you know more than me, 
You are a fool. You don't even know what the purpose of the BMR is so please stop.

Once again, you provide nothing useful and make yourself look like a tard. Strong work |

You clearly do not understand anything about weight loss, metabolism, or any goddamn thing related to fitness and nutrition. Do yourself a favor and don't ever contradict me it comes to the subject.

#65 Posted: 3/18/2011 1:43:15 AM Thanks for the advice SharpAction, maybe I will mix in an "Atkins" day for you. Haven't updated the thread in awhile, and doing good, feeling great. I'd say 6 days a week, I'm on the 1,500 calories a day, and usually I make a mistake for the 7th day. Weighed in this AM at 272lbs. So that's a 34lb loss in 3 months and a week. |

Congrats. 1500/day at your size is gonna be tough to keep up. I'd have said to start at more like 2,000. That's more sustainable.
