So, when I set out to start this 21-day program I did the "get started here" part where you do a little math by adding your weight to a thousand and subtracting a plastic cow and then multiplying a maple tree and subtracting the whole thing by one lamppost. Whatever the formula was, it showed I was to eat within a 1800-2000 a day calorie range and offers the colorful plastic container numbers to coincide.
But, when I visited my doctor a couple of months ago I read over the "paperwork" online and there it said that I should follow a 1400 calorie a day diet. Yike-a-doodles. Wha? Shit, that's low, folks. I would be HANGRY 24/7.
However, when I visited my doctor less than a month ago where she suggested I look into the 21-day program, especially the fitness if I didn't want to do the food part, and said I should stick somewhere between a 1600-1800 calorie a day.
What. The. Hell.
Three different numbers, three totally different ranges within the 21-day Fix program, three totally confusing options.
I split the difference and went with what the doctor said, 1600-1800 even though the 21-day program clearly says, based on all that math calculations, that I should be in the higher (you get more food, yo!) group.
Not sure if that is right but for now I'll see how that all works out. So far, I'm not really starving, starving. Ish. Kinda. If you read my previous posts you'll understand where I'm getting at.
