Hi can anyone help me I have been trying to loose weight for a long time but not getting anywhere. Being an indian I want to loose weight so can anyone please help me with a diet sample menu for a few days. At the moment I have weetabix with semi skimmed milk for breakfast, lunch I will have a wholemeal sandwich with lean meat and lots of salad then for dinner I will have one chappati with one cup of low fat curry with curd and salad. But I know this is a good plan but I think I am eating too much so then I just stay to two meals in a day. I am not loosing any weight and find that I am yo yo eating and not sticking to my healthy eating plan so please can anyone help me. Would be very grateful thx

    If you aren't losing weight, you are eating too many calories. It's really that simple. MFP will help you to count the calories you are eating and will give you a goal for each day which will allow you to lose weight. What you eat doesn't matter, how much you eat does. I can't help with a food plan because I'm not that familiar with Indian food, but you really don't need anyone else to do that for you. Instead, open the food diary and plug in foods that you'd like to eat and see how many calories they have. Build yourself a "typical day" and see if you need to tweak what you're eating to fit your calorie goal.

    So... you need to be sure you are logging the foods you are eating into MFP; all of the food and drinks that contain calories. Don't leave anything out. That includes vitamins, chewing gum, etc. It all adds up. You should be verifying portion sizes of the things you are eating and drinking by using a kitchen scale for food and measuring cups for liquids as much as possible. Often our judgement of what is 4 ounces of chicken is not very accurate.

    Bleh to the skimmed milk. Why ruin weetbix like that? :smiley:

    But seriously just start by eating what you normally would, just less of it. Logging it.

    Once you get use to eating less start substituting foods for more nutritious foods.

    Take small incremental steps instead of going from zero to 100 over night. Going too hard too fast seems to just be setting your self up for failure or yo-yoing
