  howdo,

  been trying to lose weight but wondering if there is something i missing to help speed things up abit (i know it’s only healthy to lose 2lbs/week and to do so gradually – i just want to make sure that i’m doing all i can to meet those requirements!)

  i’m having
  28g museli with 200ml skimmed milk
  boiled egg

  bannana
  low fat natural yog, 2tbs mixed nuts and 1 tsp honey

  Lunch is either: pasta and tuna with 1tbs light mayo, cucumber/tomatoes
  tuna steak and aubergene/tomatoes
  prawn salad with a few olives

  berries 2 handfuls

  protein shake

  Dinners jacket potato and veg
  stuffed peppers – rice and whole pepper, nothing else
  grilled or oven baked cod with spices, either veg or salad and sometimes a jacet potato.

  occasionally 2 pieces of wholemeal bread – thin, with a spread of butter and jam.

  i drink 2lt of water a day, herbal teas and occasionally tea with milk and coffee – maybe once every 2 weeks.

  i do occasionally have a treat like a slice of medera cake or a chocolate bar – but 1 a week.

  exercise 30mins per day (in my lunch break)
  cardio – interval training 1 min high, 1 min low, 15secs high, 15secs rest etc – i mix it up every time depending on how i feel.
  strength training – usually arms, back and chest/abs – my legs get a work out when i do cardio and i do about 60 squats/day at work just to exerxise my legs abit as i’m sitting at a desk.

  i know carbs make me tired so i try and limit a serving to 50g dryweight and i’ve started eating more fish, nuts and eggs for protein (i dont eat meat) but i’m still finding i’m hungry at times so am i not eating enough of something? I occasionally have a protein shake to make sure i’m getting enough protein as i find it really helps my energy levels.

  I dunno, just feel like there’s something i’m missing, maybe in my workouts or my food?

  if i was to stick with this completely, would i see some results in 4 weeks??

  I lost 3 and a half stone but put on 2 this year through mourning and because my job has changed to a desk job though i’m starting to walk the 4 miles to work twice a week which i want to build up on to 4 times per week.

  I just have a lot of belly fat to get rid of, i’m carrying around a small grotesque organism on my front!!! lol!!! but seriously, there’s quite a lot there as i’m an apple shape. i heard interval and eating regular were the best things to do…

  thanks for any answers!!

   the answer is fiber. fiber works several ways. 1) it makes you feel full without intake of extra calories and 2) it helps to draw out/ push out “stuck” weight

   hi, what you need to do is eat more and often because your doing so much exercise your body hasnt got any more energy to use to help burn fat, carry on with your healthy eating but increase your carbs because that provides you with energy, and only eat good carbs like brown bread and pasta, also your body maybe used to the exercises you do so you need to alternate that, try dancing and any exercises that increase your heart rate alot because that is whats key to burning fat.

   good luck.

   alternate your diet – your metabolism adjusts to your food intake and calorie output(exercise) so you cannot have the same food all of the time also 5 small meals a day 4 days a week followed by 3 larger meals a day but not too large the other 3 days.
   if hungry the obvious works, water, raw carrot sticks, celery etc

   2stone3lbs and counting:D
