what am i missing for weightloss?!
Filed under Diet & FitnessJul 4
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 eggbannana
low fat natural yog, 2tbs mixed nuts and 1 tsp honeyLunch is either: pasta and tuna with 1tbs light mayo, cucumber/tomatoes
tuna steak and aubergene/tomatoes
prawn salad with a few olivesberries 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!!
