    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!!
