Low Fat... Mod Carbs is not working for me.. my weight is going down and my waist, clothes are the same or worse.. tried it for 2 weeks and didn't help.. it just helped me lose weight.. and I want to lose Body Fat and maintain my weight..

I wil be doing the following:

5 Meals --> 80 Carbs, 40 Fats, ?? Protein Non-training days.

5 Meals --> 80-115 Carbs, 40 Fats, ?? Protein Trainin-days

I'm going to try this for at least 2 weeks and see

Sara, any new plan takes time. Two weeks is not long.

sara

I know, but I trust the old plan better.. I did it same time last year.. well it was 2 carb ups a week and no carb the rest of the week.. I'm doing something similar not exact the same

Jill

No carbs for the whole week? Be careful sweetie.

I think this book might be a good read for ya.

sara

No, that was last year when I did no carbs for a whole week.. check out my first journal here it was march 2003

sara

I'm happy with the scale..but I'm not happy with my clothes and waist.. especially my tummy

Sara hun, if your loosing on the scale then your doing something right! That's usually the last place that you see it. Good luck with whatever you decide, but remember you can't achieve your goals overnight sweetie!!

Don't worry about the binge either, maybe you were restricting yourself too much. Make more room in your diet for the occassional cheats.

Hang in there girlie- you can do it

For a change I agree with Sara. The scale doesn't mean shit. Even if you are dropping on the scale it doens't mean shit. If your clothes are tight and you dropped 10 pounds on the scale then you probably lost muscle and that is NEVER good.

However, I don't agree on low carb diets in this situation.

me too. i also think your new proposal sounds pretty good. the carbs aren't ridiculously low (in my opinion)

the fact that it's showing on the scale and not in your clothes would worry me too. i'd be thinking muscle loss was happening as well.

any chance that it isn't the plan but that your calories are too low so you're losing too fast? ('cause losing weight fast means losing muscle)

If you want to achieve things that others can't...

You have to do things that others won't.

Jill

I think you should banish the scale-i havent seen mine in weeks. If I weigh myself and its high-Im in a shitty mood, and I have binged because of the #.

nikegurl

banishing the scale depends on the person. it can be a tool in tracking progress (just never the only one). i know lots of women get crazy about weighing themselves too often and frequently misinterpreting results. if you find yourself practically chained to the scale than i agree - put it away.

but if you can understand how to use it properly while not making yourself miserable - it can be a valuable tool.

If you want to achieve things that others can't...

You have to do things that others won't.

sara

Thanx girls
I think the reason why I saw changes in the scale and not my clothes.. is the water weight I was holding from the cheats.. and the first two weeks of clean meals I lost the water weight..

Sara..is your monthly visitor soon? That can also make us hold, which would effect our clothes.

I don't get it every month

aggies1ut

What do you mean? Are you on birth control where you skip placebo pills?

JLB001

Sara...maybe you should stick to what your doing beyond the two weeks. You don't want to drop anymore than 1.5 to 2lbs on average per week. It's not uncoming to drop water weight the first couple weeks of a new diet, then see it slow down after that. just my opinion. But you know what is best for you.

sara

aggie- I'm not on any pills

JLB- I will stick to the same diet, and If I lose anymore weight I know what to increase.. (the fats into my diet)

Jill
