Newcomer on a High Protein Vegetarian Diet - Need help

  • Hi,

    I started a Low calorie (1200) High Protein diet (70gms)...been almost two weeks do not see any weight loss and seem to be bloated all the time...Any advise is welcome..

    here is what I eat typically on a daily basis

    - Oatmeal for breakfast
    - Snack: Protein shake
    - Lunch : Salad and cottage cheese
    - Snack : Protein bar
    - Dinner : Some carb like 1 slice of whole wheat bread or 1/2 cup brown rice along with some steamed vegetables & may be tofu/cottage cheese

    Taking some multivitamin and Cal-Vitamin D...and flax seed oil supplements..

    I think you might have stumbled across this board by accident. Ideal Protein is a diet that doesn't allow many carbs, particularly bread,rice or regular oatmeal. Good luck on your weight loss journey though.
