I started my weight loss journey about a 5 weeks ago. I decided to go with a low carb high protein diet and of course exercise. I was amazed by my first week results lost 6lbs in one week. However, I was stuck for 3 looong weeks...
I almost gave up. I couldn't understand why? I was eating no more than 20-30 carbs good amount of protein plus gym @least 3 times a week. However my calorie intake was always low. Last week I downloaded MFP and after reading so much about how important calories are I decided to give it a try. Here I am a week later 5lbs less
Now I understand how bad my body needed FUEL(calories) and I'm enjoying eating things that I couldn't really eat while on a low carb diet.
TRY IT & DON'T GIVE UP ![:) :)](https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/resources/emoji/smile.png)
