[QUOTE="Elsi, post: 746156, member: 23349"] My doctor uses those same kinds of charts. Most do. They aren't doing fancy metabolic studies to see what I need individually. They are relying on those general recommendations - which I do not believe have been properly researched and calibrated for older women. If I follow my doctor's dietary recommendations to the letter, I gain weight - this is what I am saying. Which is why I advocate also experimenting to find what works for you. Not INSTEAD of a doctor. But in addition to. Because we are all individuals. And sometimes the general, middle-of-the-road recommendations don't work for us. I rely on what my body is telling me as much as I rely on my doctor. I never said I was eating only 800 calories, or that anyone else should. I said I need to stick to net 1,000, and we all need to find the balance that works for us individually. [/QUOTE]
