So here I am... spending lots of money on this diet that I was told was fast and I am losing slow.... am I losing slow because I eat my food through out the day and not 4 times a day?
I have only lost 6.5 lbs in 13 days. I have over 60 lbs to lose and will not stay motivated if I am losing only 2.5 lbs per week. I can do that on WW. Is my wt loss slow because I am 56 and have one packet of Stevia in coffee?
Sorry. My questions are more WHY I can't on these items:
If I chew ONE piece of Orbit sugar free gum. (Less than 1G of carbs and sugar alcohol and less the 5 calories.) My coach says NO gum.... why do other couches say it is ok? Will this hurt my weight loss? Is it the sugar alcohol and how can one piece be that bad?
TIA
You made a decision to start IP ....give it a chance.
Seems to me from reading your post that you are not coming at this in a positive way.
I attended a Conference On Food , Mood and Cogintion, and it addressed how stress plays a large role on how we do.
I have and continue to be successful because I refuse to stress myself out and I have consciously chosen to do things that will optimize my success.
Going to the conference confirmed that keeping your head in a good place is the best for your health in general.
I am sharing this with you to help you see it is more about the number on the scale is ...it is about where your head is Too!
Also random acts on kindness is good for the brain.l. But it has to be to a stranger ...and she suggests doing 3 a day.
Spending 20 minutes a day Meditating, getting out in nature, learning a new skill that requires you to actively to use you brain.
Being positive is really good for your brain.
I hope you take this in the spirit it was given.....I would like you to be successful ... It is a mind and body thing.
I will personally attest how great the program has worked for me in a relatively short time.
I think if I had I not worked the program ....I would not be sitting here with the amazing weight loss! My PCP is amazed at my results and my ability to turn things around when I had so many health issues.
If you feel another diet would be better for you than maybe you would be better to switch ......whatever you do you need to reduce your stress level !! Increase Cortisol levels have a serious impact on weight and your health.
Best of luck, try to enjoy the journey to improving your health,
