So Frustrating!

My diet coach told me its okay to eat fruit but make sure I eat it with protein, like peanut butter or an egg in the morning. Something about your body processing the sugar differently when eaten with protein. I will have to find out what he said exactly

Eat 40% protein, 40% carbs, 20% fats ....and no processed foods.

Eat every 2-3 hours.
Meals 300-350 calories.
Snacks around 150 calories

Drink water water water!!! I drink about 128 ounces or more a day!!

Try tracking your day the night prior to insure you meet your daily goals! Having your day planned will help you control how and what you eat!!!

If your looking for a support team message me and I'll add you to my team on facebook!

Good luck!!

Hi don't lose heart.
I've done every diet under the sun, we have a mini gym that I used it 40 to 60 mins aday every day , but the change was always minimal.
Then I had an accident in March which stoped all exercise for 3 months or so.
I then joined MTP end of May after putting more weight on ! By this time was able to get out and walk bit and kept to a very stricked 1200 cals .MTP has been a god send. And although exercise very restricted and was still enjoying a couple of glasses a night the weight still came off.
Then when I thought my knee was doing well , had a massive set back, had surgery 2 weeks ago on my knee and I am virtually on bed rest and doing absolutely nothing. I thought great all that hard Work etc for nothing as I would start to gain weight again etc.
But guess what I havnt , I am losing weight whilst maintaining 12000 cal intake, I can't believe it !
I weigh less now than longer than I can remember !
MTP has got to take credit for it because , as a serial dieter this is the best I have ever done and still enjoy my food and a drink.
( do tend to eat things that aid the metabolism )
So I strongly support the post about not taking in enough calories. It was so tempting to just starve my self whilst I was on bed rest for fear of gaining weight but decided to trust the experts .
Go on give it ago you got nothing to lose but weight.
Good luck

But what if I'm just not hungry?? The days that I don't get up to 1200 (or whatever my goal is for the day), it's because i'm just not hungry and I eat until I'm full. It was my understanding that it's bad to eat past when you're full. Is that wrong? I'm going to feel very dumb if it is lol. I'm by no means TRYING to starve myself. If I'm hungry, I eat. I just try to make sure it's something healthy.

By eating a small healthy snack (e.g. nuts, yogurt, orange...etc) in between meals your body will be able to stay in digestion. When we think we are not hungry it's because our metabolisim is slowing down. So for it to continue to digest it stays active and highers our metabolism. Plus, if you are not feeling hungry that's a good indication your on the right track you really don't want to get that hungry feeling because it means your body is going into "store mood" and in turn lowers your metabolism. Like mentioned....measure measure measure....I have also heard that we gain weight before losing it and I have seen it before as well. Plus other people will see results before we do because we are so obsessivley watching each day or everytime we see a mirror. Try to lay off the scales and just trust that you are on the right path. Trick the mind and let it know that you ARE losing the weight. Running is also a great way to lose the weight. Remember that if you are working out you will also gain the weight through muscles (weighs more than fat) also know that sodium retains water and makes us swell up. Any ways, you are beautiful exactly the way you are now. We must first accept how we look now in order to change. For me I will continue to beat myself up and eat more unhealthy foods out of rebellion because I am not accepting of how I look and embracing my beauty as is. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! EMBRACE IT!!!!! Everyone looks different so STOP comparing yourself also!!
