Looking at your diary, the foods you're eating are great choices. You're getting great levels of protein. You might be able to get to an effective target by simply increasing the serving sizes, and then allowing yourself a treat each day.
If you're exercising every day - and it's the same exercise each day - you may not be providing your body a chance to heal and recover. If that's the case, perhaps scale back just a little on the exercise.
... I think you're going to be an awesome success story ... :flowerforyou:0 -
Thank you so much I feel great after eating these foods I've lost 20lbs in one month fast I know maybe bad to some but I'm toning good I believe my measurements were 38-39-46 03/20/13 now 36-33-40.5 04/21/13
I believe I'm totally disciplined my blood work was great and cholesterol actually is outstanding compared to before I started
I used to want to sleep all the time now I'm hyper so energetic
I alternate my exercises I do cardio everyday and add strength every other day some more lengthy then others0 -
Just be sure to increase as you go. You're knocking down the low-hanging fruit of fat and that's great. You will want to start transitioning into something more sustainable as the pounds get harder to shed. You mention your discipline . . . I think that one reason that very low-calorie diets don't work for many people is that it does take such discipline. On a long enough timeline people can really get worn down by the body screaming for food. People see great results at first at 1200 but then it gets progressively harder. But if it's still working for you right now, and you're tracking your BF% to LBM and are not doing too badly; if your blood work looks good; if you're not cold and lethargic; if you are not irritable and prone to binging; then you're doing alright. Sooner or later you will need to change your approach somewhat, and I think there's a large chorus of folks here who feel that sooner is better, so as to avoid doing unnecessary harm. :flowerforyou:0
