The participants went through a series of biological, physiological and cognitive tests
prior to the
program began so as to establish their
body composition, cognitive functions, brain oxygenation while exercising, cardiovascular risk and maximal aerobic ability.
My problem was (and this is
prior to the points plus
program) when I got down to 20 lbs from my goal weight I had uncontrollable cravings and because I my points were so low (I found out later I was only eating about 1200 calories vs my
body size was supposed to be closer to 1600 calories) I was never able to eat enough while still maintaining the points.
