So as you'll all aware I'm on diet and this week I've been having the low calorie noodles at 9 calories per 100g.

However the plant it's made from means it has a fishy odour and I find it very off putting.

So came across gluten free chickpea fussil pasta today which has 50 cals per 100g which is still great.

Anyone ever had it before, I presume it doesn't taste much different from regular pasta.

Spoiler:

Keeping records.


Are you a Yo Yo?
[Weight cycling is the repeated loss and regain of body weight. When weight cycling is the result of dieting, it is often called "yo-yo" dieting. A weight cycle can range from small weight losses and gains (5-10 lbs. per cycle) to large changes in weight (50 lbs. or more per cycle).]

Thing is if you diet by eating things you dont normally eat the weight loss will always be temporary

Are you saying you have lost weight by just dieting?

Yes, well and walking but I do that normally anyway.

I decreased my calorie intake by a lot.

You would not lose 4 pounds in 1 week by just taking in less calories you need constant exercise and walking is not the right way as it kills of only a small amount of energy

I walk around 6KM Monday/Wednesday/Thursday and Friday.

Weekend I don't really do much unless going out.

if I was eating close to 2000 a day then yeah I would lose like a pound a week.

I lose a lot because of my age and current weight.

Jogging is the best way to go

[Will.]

I'm eating 500-800 calories a day.

I have 1 cheat day where I eat 1000-1500 a day.

At my weight I lose around 5 pound a week.

That's so little.

Yeah it's not much, it's difficult some days but I'm using lots of low calorie alternatives.

But the 1/2 cheat days help a lot and I'm still eating a lot less than normal.

[Will.]

Once I've lost my weight I will stick to 1500-2000 a day to maintain a healthy weight.

and when you return to your normal diet?

Well probably around May/June.

I'll happily stick to this pasta if it's nice, and continue to use alternatives to bread like cracker bread and crisps bread and eat low calorie yogurts.

[Jason.]

It's difficult because your body needs more than 1,000 calories per day. Eating less doesn't sound healthy and it'll be hard to maintain that loss in the long run as you'll just put the weight back on once you stop and begin eating as normal.

Plus it sounds like you're restricting yourself way too much (you've just started) and you'll end up feeling hungry and getting cravings which will result in binging.
