s just been holding an increase of about 2 lbs and I dont know where it came from, or how to lose it. I dont eat alot of carbs, I cut back even MORE on drinking wine, and still cannot lose it, I am so frustrated.
I eat 3 meals a day, this is a typical day:
breakfast: bowl of kashi w/fruit OR hot multigrain cereal
lunch: yogurt w/fruit and almonds mixed in, special K crackers, OR protein w/veggies; later in the day a piece of fruit .
--- Carbs also have 4 calories per gram and only about 6% of calories from carbs are lost due to heat/metabolism.
--- This creates a caloric differential of 19% !!!
By switching to let's say to food items with higher protein value and lower
carb value, without increasing fat intake much, you will easily create a calorie deficit.
If your weight is 50 kilograms, you can go up to 50 kg x 1.5 grams/per kg = 75 gr of protein daily maximum.
Two glasses of red wine a day increases cancer risk. In this light, I’d recommend having a glass of red wine no more than 2 or 3 times per week. Wine and other alcoholic beverages also cause triglyceride counts to climb. Oatmeal, oat bran, and other whole grain products can help with a small reduction, about 5 percent, in total cholesterol.
I like Krill oil
Just look that it has total Phospholipids 420, total MG per serving 300, at least 160 mg EPA
and 90 mg DHA and 1 1/2 mg of Astaxanthin.
But I eat nuts, meats, eggs, avocado, all vegeteables except corn and potatoes, dairy. I do drink wine in moderation. I am doing fine and feeling great on this diet. I would normally eat about 50 - 70 g of carbs per day. My blood sugars can be well controlled on this diet, without medication.
In high glycaemic index foods, the carbohydrates are broken down very quickly, and have bigger impact on blood sugar than lower GI foods. Ie. beans and bagel.
Carbs raise BG so restricting carbs will help BG.
when you say 6 units I assume you mean 6 exchanges which is 90 gr of carbs. If you take 250 mg at each meal that is 750 mg a day, the limit is 2400mg a day so you have room to go up on the Met.
It can take 6 to 8 weeks for met to become fully effective.
d have to drop 500 calories from your BMR each day (1 lb is equal to 3500 calories, so 500 calories X 7 days = 3500 calories or 1 lb). OR you can drop 250 calories from your diet and increase exercise to use an additional 250 calories.
Changing up calorie counts and exercises will help prevent plateau.
Especially if I compare decaf green tea, crystal light or zero-cal flavored water to the one decent near bear I liked which was 80 calories and seriously loaded in carbs :(
★★Flavoured water (both sparking and non & sugar-free and regular) is an explosive and growing industry so you might want to stay out of the fruit juice section altogether★★
☞ There is a lot of variety out there.
Hello and welcome to our community. Unfortunately, you can't really "spot reduce", as it appears you'd like to do. When we lose weight, we lose from the whole body.
It's important to note, that losing weight, isn't always just a matter of "calories in/calories out"; however, we do have to make sure we don't take in more calories than we need as they will be stored as fat. What those calories consist of, it equally important.

s the type of carbs. Simple carbs, such as sugar and white flour, metabolize into sugar in your body very quickly and store as fat if not burned very quickly. Complex carbs burn more slowly and provide a long-lasting energy and provide us with our most important nutrients. High protein diets are a current fad, and some of them might one day prove out -- we just have to see what happens when we have a lot of years of people eating this way and see what happens to them.
More fruits and Veggies, Protein and only complex carbs. In Feb I hit a Plateau at 178 lbs. I cannot get below this line I teeter between 178 and 183 and I am 5'7". I had my thyroid tested and that came back negative. I recently had some allergy food testing and thought that may be the issue. I found I am allergic to wheat and egg yolk; and have a low tolerance for grains in general. So my diet is pretty healthy; Mostly protein, veggies, and some fruit. Very little alcohol..
