HHMM thought it would help if we posted our foods and or calorie/ carb/ fiber intake for ourselves or others to help, if we want you can add exercise too It may be helpful it we posted the plan we are on for new people to understand out intake.
(I have not started exercising just yet but when I do I can expect the weight to stop dropping while my muscles start to build back up.)
Great thread Sue! I'm in! Do we post today from the previous day...that might be better so this way you can post your daily intake all at once! Just a thought...what do you think?
BTW, on the exercise thingy...I don't think you'll see a stall when you start exercising (depending on what type of exercise). If you start slow with some cardio...you can add weights later. Cardio is really what burns the fat off for me personally. Weights burn fat too by increasing the BMR. A combination of both is optimal...but when I started, it just was easier for me to start with cardio only. Joyce
Yes i think it would be better to post either the day before's or in the evening the day (or you can edit the post)
stall is not a stall at all it is just that muscles weigh much more than fat and takes less space so as i gain muslce and lose fat I will shrink but stay at the same weight. (if i work hard enough i may even gain for a short time I have done that before) I actually have a very large muscle mass waiting to be built back up. (example at 150 i was a size 14 tight with no exercise at 170 exercising i was a tight 12
Good idea Sue. Here's my day so far. I'll edit later.
Plan: PP
B: kefir protein shake(berries, whey protein), sugar free latte with calorie countdown milk
L: chef salad at Cracker Barrel with bleu cheese dressing.
D: wings with BBQ sauce, left over cauliflower.
Supplements: 1 gram L-carnitine, a multi called Four Pillars (it's actually 4 pills that covers a bunch of stuff), Ca, Mag, CoQ10.
Exercise: does 4 hours of shopping count?
I got carried away with some BBQ sauce on my wings! That stuff can be dangerous!
Nausus40 you are eating a dangerously low calorie and not nutritionally sound diet these last two days. Do you plan to up and balance your intake? I hope that doesn't sound harsh but I am concerned for you.
49 oz water
coffee with 1/4 cup unsweetened soy,two tablespoons cream, liquid splenda.
1 slice flaxbred toasted with a slice of swiss cheese.
One cup shredded lettuce(taco style) with taco meat and a tablespoon of cottage cheese.
1 string cheese for snack.
1/4 fresh steamed green beans
Expect dinner to be: Steamed cauliflower and brocc with chopped onion and yellow pepper along with a sirloin burger topped with gorgonzola.
Okay...here I go...crappy food day though...not enough...busy day...
B - 1/2 cup oatmeal w/raisans and DV SF Syrup & Erythritol powder
S - 1 oz salted cashews
L - MickeyDees Bacon/Ranch Salad w/2 patties of grilled chicken & Ranch Dressing (full fat)
S - Dannon Low Carb Yogart (1)
D - 0 Carb Whey Isolate (Isopure) Shake w/1 banana & 4 strawberries
Grilled Chicken Breast (1)
S - 1/4 cup fresh pinapples
No offence taken, the last two days were low intake really bad no vegies either, I know I am not usually this bad, just did not cook, MMM cabage salad sounds great that should help!!
Wow, that is a low carb day? I'd guestimate that at about 100 grams of carbs and about 10-12 grams of fiber, depending on exact size of each item. What is a high carb day for you? Not being cheeky, just curious as to what your body needs/responds to, as we are all different. For me, low carb is under 50 grams net a day (I actually stay between 20-40 grams).
Nasus, I love cabbage! I cook it with onions and extra virgin coconut oil.
