Well, this time I went from BMI 24.9
on May 28 down to BMI 22.9 on July 7
before hitting a wall and going back
up to BMI 24.9 as of this morning.

This time, the weight regain happened
over 31 days. Faster than last time.
Similar to last time, my exercise
decreased and due to being hungry a
lot, my food intake went over 2,000
calories most days.

Resembles what happened as documented
in the following post on May 28 2019:
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/misc.health.diabetes/LZhS0p2nTCA/RMfKFRzWBwAJ

That time, I went down to BMI 23.0 on
March 22 after over 4 months of diet-
ing / exercise that got my BMI of just
over 29.0 reduced. That time, it took
57 days to regain the weight, so this
weight regain (31 days) was faster.

The problem is that as weight decreases
one's daily calorie maintenance level
decreases. I've found that at or some-
where near BMI 23 my hunger becomes al-
most constant and coincides with my end-
ing my excellent avid exercise routine.

Very odd, that. What to do, what to do,
what to do?

Hmmmm, I'll have to think about that,
and if anyone has any inspirational sug-
gestions, please let me know.

Follow-up in an article explaining what
I'm experiencing in my -2- weight regain
episodes I documented in the original
post in this thread, but offering very
little in the way of trying to prevent
these weight regains from happening:
https://www.apa.org/science/about/psa/2018/05/calorie-deprivation

... In brief, calorie deprivation leads
to changes in hormones, metabolism, and
cognitive/attentional functions that make
it difficult to enact the behaviors needed
to keep weight off.

What does calorie deprivation do?

In response to calorie deprivation, levels
of leptin, considered the satiety hormone,
decrease, and levels of ghrelin, thought of
as the hunger hormone, increase ... .

Therefore individuals in a deprived state
experience more hunger, and feelings of
hunger remain increased for deprived indi-
viduals even after eating a regular meal

[She discusses the problem of lower weight
= lower calories needed for weight mainten-
ance, a conundrum of ever-decreasing calorie
needs juxtaposed against previously mentioned
ever-increasing hunger levels]

Comment: Unfortunately, her conclusion is
to promote vegetable eating. That's it.
Sheesh. Doesn't sound like a winner, so
I'll have to keep looking for a better
way as I force myself to eat 5 servings
of vegetables per day and don't find the ...

... idea to eat even more of the least
desirable food I eat likely to help.

Somehow / some way, I have to discipline
myself to continue my exercise but I'm
still stumped on that increased hunger
problem that seems to set in somewhere
near BMI 23.0 .

A link documenting that low BMI of 22.9:

So, 40 days to re-lose the weight, 31 days
to regain the weight that I had re-lost
from May 28 to July 7.

Hmmm.
