Increasing Exercise
Ossie-Sharon 4 years ago | Hi, Michelle. I was referring to the number on the scale. The % body fat will be taken care of by his fitness routine, and that will likely improve faster than his total body weight. |
MichelleLee63 4 years ago | Hi Ossie-Sharon, my husband says he doesn’t consider 35% body fat to be very close to an ideal weight, but then he worked mine out and says I am c. 42.5% body fat now (goodness knows what I was a few weeks ago). Thanks for the advice and we are sticking to the eating plan quite well. (I can’t call it a diet because we have both had to increase the amount we were eating quite a lot!). We have our grandson staying with us this week, thankfully he loves fruit and vegetables. Unusual for a 5 year old but it should keep him healthy at least. He is eating the same size meals as we are! |
Ossie-Sharon 4 years ago | Hi, Michelle, and thanks for the information. He actually needs the amount that you’re eating. He is losing more slowly because he is closer to his ideal body weight. |
MichelleLee63 4 years ago | Age 54, height 5’9″, Weight 173lb. However he is a very light frame (as are most distance runners). 10 years ago he was 140lb, and was still 20% body fat at that weight, so he is currently c. 35% body fat. |
TrimDownClub 4 years ago | Hi, MichelleLee. Yes, he should be increasing his caloric intake, but I would recommend doing it with food (including post-workout). If you post his age, height, and weight here, I can help you with more detailed recommendations. |
MichelleLee63 4 years ago | Hi, my husband has been following the diet with me and eating my prescribed amounts. This works for me (as I walk the dogs a lot) but he is loosing weight slower as he is an IT consultant so has to sit in a chair in front of a computer for 8 to 10 hours a day… |
