Hello,
I've been on a hiprotein diet since August. I was doing fine losing some weight on the scale which I could also see with my jeans and my belt. I even was under the impression that I could see some improvement on my belly (less fat ). But last week has been terrible.

I was hungry, I ate chips (which is rare for me), rice and bread (which I used to eat before August) and I wasn't sticking to my plan. The scale is going back up, and I saw a picture of myself taken today and the belly is still there...

I wounder if my lack of discipline as anything thing to do with my ovulation or maybe a eating program that is too strict.

As I wrote on another thread I am still determined to loose my belly, but at this point I need some support and some advice.

Really low calories intake seems to increase belly bloat when eating in my case. When I'm eating a higher intake (1300-1400 cals) my belly is SO flat when waking up in comparison to a 1000 cals intake. So maybe you feel like you have a belly because you are bloated. Or maybe your body fat is not low enough. There's a supposition that it's not possible to have a flat stomach until you hit 18% bodyfat or lower.

(I feel like my writing is horrible, sorry if it's the case, it's not my maternal language and it's late here haha.)
