Losing weight, exercise and diet?
September 3rd, 2010I’ve been serious dieting and working out for about 2 months now I guess, maybe a month and a half of real serious dieting, and I’ve lost about 18lbs. I’m kinda at a stand still now, any ideas to help change that?
My Diet is like this: mon-thur its roughly the same thing except dinner changes:
breakfast: I eat oatmeal,
snack: a fiber bar,
lunch: half a turkey sandwhich (deli meat) on wheat bread with mustard
snack: fruit cup or applesauce
supper: either salad, healthy choice steamer, weds (grilled chick sandwhich from zaxbys or chicfila), bowl of cereal sometimes if I can’t find anything to eat.
on friday, sat, and sun: i don’t eat as much bc I sleep late yet I still workout atleast fri and sun (weather it be running or swimmin)
Working out:
Mon and tues: exercise/stretches in the morning, I run 30 mins at lunch on illeptical and then in the evening I run 30mins on illeptical and 30 on the treadmill and do some weights
weds-thurs: exercise in the morning,I run 30mins a lunch and then in then run on a track outside with my bf about 2 miles (walk/run) and do some more exercises.
Fri-Sun: Swim/run atleast two days
‘I also babysit a 3 and 4 yr old and clean house (not heavy duty cleaning everyday, just a little here and there each day, sweeping/mopping, laundry, dishes etc.)
Oh fri, sat and sun I eat like either a oriental grilled chic salad from applebees, or like the garlic chicken from there, sometimes I eat a hot dog if we grill out, I eat veggies with them..umm…just stuff like that.
There are few things wrong with this diet.
Not enough protein.
Not enough healthy fats.
Too many carbs in relation to your protein/fat intake.
And potentially not enough calories for your bodyweight. (I say potentially because you don’t tell us what you weigh)
3 out of 7 days you say you are eating even less than the other 4 days.
So, eating as you have for the last 6-8 weeks will lead to muscle loss. Some fat loss too. But the muscle loss will slow your metabolism. As will the miminal calories. So, now your metabolism is a crawl because it needs certain nutrients you aren’t providing it. Yeah, it’s used incorrectly alot around here, but the dreaded "starvation mode".
On top of all that bad news, you are exercising too. Which puts more demand and stress on your body. Not too mention them 3 and 4 year old kids lol very stressfull on your body.
Yeah, that’s why your loss has stopped.
Good luck!!
