Why am I not losing weight? [whole wheat bread] [why am i not losing weight]
I cycle every day for about 30-60 minutes jogging for about 15 minutes, using dumbbells for about 5 minutes and do sit-ups/crunches 50-100.
Heres my diet .
Breakfast (8 hours)
1 / 2 cup oatmeal slow cooked w / Splenda and cinnamon
small glass milk
** Workout around 10:30 / 11/11: 30 **
Lunch (12 hours)
– Chef salad with fat free dressing and a slice or two of low carb, whole wheat bread with a one-bread
salad
-A small tin of tuna and a orange
Snack (2:30 or 3)
-a piece of fruit (banana, orange, apple, grapefruit) w / 2 slices lean ham or turkey and a few almonds fat
a sugar-free smoothie (1 / 2 cup non-fat plain yogurt, 1 / 2 cup frozen fruit, 2 packets of Splenda)
Dinner (5:30 or 6) varies
It . but heres the list of things we combine
Protein chicken, pork, salmon (I do not eat meat, I usually make chicken like the rest of the family with beef)
Carbs-yams, winter squash, sometimes a piece of toast and I got no carbs. (I do not eat pasta or potatoes, the starch my stomach upset)
Veges-Broccoli, Caulliflower, peas, green beans, kale, spinach, or a small salad
Snack (8:30 / 9 hours) – the same as above
(I go to bed around 12 -1am, so my snack is not too late for me) I cut my
If bread at dinner and almonds on my flesh and snacks can make a difference? What exactly am I doing wrong?
Reply:IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE YOU 'NOT EATING ENOUGH". IF YOUR EATING TWO LITTLE THEN YOUR NOT GOING TO LOSE-YOUR BODY WILL HOLD ON TO EVERYTHING IT HAS SINCE IT THINKS YOUR STARVING YOUSELF. IF YOU WORK OUT DAILY THEN YOUR CALORIE INTAKE SHOULD BE BETWEEN 1500-1800 MOST LIKELY.
Reply:guy,
Well it sounds like you've got a good plan. You're eating healthy and exercising. If you're not losing weight, then I would recommend the following:
1) Start counting calories. Although it's hard to believe you're getting too many calories from the diet you listed, sometimes we take in more calories than we realize.
2) Try working out before breakfast and see if that makes a difference.
3) Try to go to bed early. Most people need 7-8 hours of sleep and it's during sleep that you burn a good amount of fat.
4) Try to limit your carbs with dinner. Your body has been conditioned to know that it will go sleep soon so the metabolism slows down making it more likely that some of the carbs will go unused and instead be converted to fat during sleep.
Reply:I'm not an expert, but I'm wondering how long you've been doing this routine and have been keeping to this diet? Maybe you are building muscle and you will start losing weight more gradually. Have you measured yourself to see if you're losing inches? Your workout sounds good though, how often do you do that?
I haven't been losing any noticeable pounds in the last week or two, but I'm not worried about it because I can feel that I'm in better shape and I feel a lot stronger, so I figure I'm gaining muscle.
Good luck, HTH
