Breakfast:
Either 1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese + low carb sugar free yogurt & 1 oz. berries
OR
Slim Fast Low Carb Diet Breakfast Bar
Snack Low Fat String Cheese OR Apple OR Orange OR boiled egg
Lunch: 3 ounces tuna + 1 tblspn mayo + 1 slice 100% whole wheat bread
OR
Salad w/ spinach, grilled chicken, boiled eggs, 1/2 tblspn of Ranch
Snack: Same as 10:30 snack
Dinner: 4 ounces of chicken, fish, lean sirloin, shrimp or turkey + 2 cups of spinach, onions, broccoli, green beans or bell peppers
3 Liters of Water per Day. NO sodas or sugars.
Workout 20-30 minutes of cardio or 1 hour of weight training + softball 2 days a week + walking dog an hour a day.
I have TRIED the stuff posted here, the 40/40/20, the 33/33/33, even a 50/20/30 & NO weight loss. WTF? I have TRIED having a protein, carb & fat at every meal. Nothing. I have lost 6 inches overall - AT BEST. All this in a month.
I thought FOR SURE a few fruits thrown in as a very low cal snack would drop overall cals & result in weight loss. Doctor told me I need to be eating 1350 calories per day, and I need to weigh sub 140. Currently, 200 pounds, between 31% BF, 5'3" and wanting to get to 20% BF, REGARDLESS of weight. But none of these eating plans seem to work.
What would you recommend? I do not want the quick weight loss fad crap, but even 2 pounds a MONTH I'd be happy with. However, a ZERO loss on the scales since February 25th is SOOOO discouraging. I know you shouldn't put any importance into what the scale says, but my doctor telling me I need to be at 140 w/ 20% BF is making me want to give up! Where should I go from now?
