I have a question about resetting your metabolism, I definitely eat many fewer calories than 10k/lb how can I reset this so I can work on losing fat and gaining LBM? Won't I gain a bunch of weight until my Metabolism resets?

Not if you are gradual, watch sugars and starches, which usually means bringing Protein and Fat up first....give the body 5-7 days to acclimate at each new higher level, hunger is a "good sign"...keep meal frequency high....
Gradual...means SMALL changes, maybe 100-150 kcals

I'm glad you addressed this.
So, DP, would you say 5-7 days is a reliable average....even with more substantial increases? (250-300 cals)
Hi Leethal, welcome to IM!
I've been working with the metabolic re-set approach in the recent past, and in a period of roughly 4 months I've increased my caloric intake from (est) 1400 cals per day to roughly 2400 cals per day with little to no weight gain. Of course, I haven't lost any 'weight' either, but this may be due to several other factors. But the name of the game is.....ready for this DP?..... Patience! Good luck!

Good for you DaMayor! A lot of people just jump right into that and wonder why they gained weight and think its the wrong thing to do so they drop their cals again. Good job- not many people are patient enough to do this.
I am guilty of that.
I am ready to do it right this time.
Believe me, after a while it is VERY tempting to drop cals because that's the way we've been programmed to think over the years.
I think the most important thing for new folks to remember (actually a self directed statement) is that any progress, whether it be related to diet or training, takes time........months, maybe even years! So patience is key.
Now, P-Funk,Jodi,DP,W8,TP,Kuso, et al.....all together now..."I Told You So!"

Oooh I don't know, I'm not quite there yet....few slips here and there.....working on it. The biggest challenge is psychological. (no comments from the peanut gallery please)
How long until you finish your book?

Told you so 100-150 seems to be the norm for slow or sluggish metabolisms, 200-250 for moderate and up to 500 a week (5-7) for smoking appetites.....
The trick is to induce hunger before you move on, and stabilize BW

We can't finish it until w8 can focus more....her ADD is almost gone!
Thanks Prince.....I think we'd like that!
DM= you consumed 1400 cal? that is crazy low isnt it? i am cutting and still take in 1500 cal's and i am 135lbs.
Thanks for this thread though i am definately going to use this approach once my comps are done in 8 weeks.

I knew you'd say that. If you put some ice on that thing immediately, you can keep the swelling to a minimum.
So, in other words, after overcoming the intitial feeling that one is 'force feeding' (i.e., for me, week one of more balanced 'mini meals' vs. single macro 'snacks' was damned uncomfortable) the development of a more pronounced appetite, even though the intake is the same/consistent, is a sign that it is okay to proceed.....close enough? Or should one maintain this 'condition' for the 5-7 days you mentioned earlier, then move on?
Yeah, J'Bo..that was pretty much it. When I first started, I was probably only consuming ~1200! I was self employed, on the go, a smoker, etc. I could usually go all day if I had to.. a cup of coffee here, couple of smokes there....I'd eat when my blood sugar bottomed out. Trying to make a buck...
You're going to make me say it twice aren't you? Damn, J'Bo!
I owe a lot to the .....people of.....IM..............gulp........*runs to the bathroom*

True, true. You were instrumental in making me the man I am today....
Thanks for the help, bud.

New Question...
Let's say someone is attempting to "re-set" their metabolism. Slowly they are increasing calories....monitoring closely for any gains.....increasing cals as warranted/tolerated within the proper 5-7 day span, etc.
Should this person be depleting or keeping minimal carbs w/ carb-ups? Or maintaining a balanced p/c/f until they top out?
