This Ain't working, help

I eat Indian food at least once or twice a week - it is totally possible to adapt what you're already eating into a healthier version. First, take out any ghee, and replace it with a low cal spray or at least a very small amount of oil. Be careful about the amount of rice you have - load up on tomato/veg based curries, and keep the side dishes to a minimum. As I'm sure you already know, naans are highly calorific, rotis and other flat breads (chapattis etc) are much better (as long as they're plain, and made with no additional fats). Finally, those Indian sweets - special occasions only, I'm afraid!

You've not got your diary open - if you're happy to do that, people will give you pointers as to where you may be going wrong. It can be as simple an error as using the wrong entries to log your cals. You can overeat by quite a bit if you use some of those 'homemade' entries, and even commercial product entries can be wrong. In my first week logging, I had no idea some of those entries would be so wildly wrong - I basically lost because I cut out a lot of the very high fat food I was used to eating, not because I was logging accurately! Now though, every calorie counts, and I make damn sure I'm logging to the most accurate gram weight measurements!

Saying you will go back to your usual food is a popular conclusion to someone's 'diet' that I see all the time, and is absolutely the way you'll regain any and all weight you lose with your restrictive diet currently. Yes, you DO have to change the way you eat forever - but sometimes you don't need that big a change! Portion sizes adjusted, recipes slightly adapted for healthier meals, reducing the frequency of very high cal/fat foods, and you can eat pretty much the same as you've always eaten, as long as you log correctly!

BTW, get yourself a big vacuum flask and fill it with a homemade soup - heated to as hot as you dare in the morning. That will be a filling, nutritional lunch, on the go, that doesn't involve resorting to those awful weight loss shakes! You can also make a huge batch once a week, and that will do you for the week. Take crackers, bread or pre-packaged snacks to have with it, if soup alone doesn't fill you with joy!! Even a jar of PB or vegemite (Marmite) doesn't need refrigeration, and you can have that with an apple - again, no chiller needed. Best of all, get some freezer packs and a lunch box. A big frozen pack will keep stuff like cheese or salad to a cool enough temperature for a few hours.

Lol loving the optimism ...
I'm not going to knock it, if you eat within your cals you'll lose

..the only tiny comment I have was on yesterday's breakfast. ..huge amount of margarine! Maybe it's a mispost :-D but each to their own and whatever floats your boat lol
