Yep, Exactly what I did the lose about 20 pounds. One change at a time.

I think that's the link to the study.
I haven't been able to access the full document, just the abstract. But it is clearly intended as a short term, as they say "proof-of-principle" study. Adherence or regain weren't part of their research question. But I think we would all be interested in a study of that nature following such a regime, given the previous research you mention. Not to mention what we've seen of those poor Biggest Loser contestants who have experienced regain.

I want to maintain my muscle, but lose those pounds - how do I train? Bearing in mind that I know it's a case of calories in vs calories out.
If you search the forms for the thread to CAthe : Your Expertise Please When you have a minute.

I asked Cathe this same question and she responded .

Yes. I used to have a danish at work around 10:30 or 11:00 as my mid-morning snack. I changed it to an orange. I get sweetness and fiber and it's more filling, less caloric. Then my afternoon snack of another sweet or candy bar was switched to a large apple, cut into quarters with one tablespoon of nut butter. Again, sweet and filling and since I work out as soon as I get home, I'm not starving.

Willowey, since you're in the UK and I have several good friends who are Brits, remember that booze is just empty calories. Brits drink more than Americans do. It's part of their culture.

Wow. Just ... wow.

Willowey wrote that menopause has played a big part in her weight gain. Other people here on VF have said the same thing without being told that their weight gain is probably due to a cultural bent towards excessive liquor consumption. What a thing to say.

Videofit, please do not make cultural assumptions about individual members here, or whole cultures, for that matter. That is not appropriate here.

Now let's return to the original topic.

Thank you Betsy, Maitai and Wendy - Ironically I don't drink alcohol at all.

amcgilsky & edensmon - thanks for the link to Cathe - interesting reading - so Cathe is recommending metabolic workouts with heavy-ish weights - I'm doing the metabolic part (I thin? Do Jillian workouts qualify?) but haven't ever really gone down the heavy weights route.

Out of interest - can anyone tell me the difference between metabolic and circuit workouts?
