Cardio will raise your heart rate to the extent your body can't metabolise fat quickly enough so pulls the energy from muscles. The body at a resting state burns calories, it burns more the more muscle you have. So picking up weights (even small ones) will help retain muscle mass (and increase it) helping with weight loss…

Pick up weights:) step away from the cardio machines, eat more protein (eggs salmon etc) and walk, lots :)

Fibre one doesn't have any sugar? though it is high in salt? at least the one I ate in america was this way? When in america I go to starbucks and have black coffee, nothing added and a starbucks breakfast wrap (egg white, feta in a wrap) under 300 calories and keeps me going for hours!

Where is your blog Sergio ?

So your body is changing shape, but your weight is staying the same? So even though you aren't doing weights you are using muscles which will grow. I'd suggest stop being preoccupied with "a number" and start enjoying the obvious progress you are making and ENJOY the new heightened fitness level you are at:) I hit these…

Can I ask what app you use to regulate your sets ? I'm looking for a good one to use to assist me!!

I'm gonna bet you go from starving yourself to eating like a horse? I used to do it and used to yoyo back and forth for ages :( eating sensibly 5 days a week and relaxing a BIT at weekends (combined with more exercise at weekends) works for me currently, as long as I'm not gaining I'm happy to lose or even sustain weight.…

I don't see it as anything to worry about. I find it happens to me when I've slightly overdone it and I'd assume it'd the bodys way of saying "your doing something I'm not sure how to handle" so assumes it needs to clear something out?

gently :) thats where you start!!! do you have a smartphone? if so get along to mapmyfitness.com and download their app which you can then use to track how far you run and how long it takes you. I started at the gym using a treadmill and loped along at 8 to begin with until i could do that for 20 minutes, then i upped it…

I stopped exercising due to bad weather and after a slack winter have recently started again!! and for the first 2 weeks I gained weight and now it's starting to slide off me again so stick with the programme and you'll start seeing better results from here on in I'd expect :)

Feel free to add me !!! That goes for anyone and everyone in fact :)

This this this a thousand times. By not using your exercise calories you will be pushing your body into starvation mode and will hit a wall where you cannot lose more weight. It's isn't a contest to starve yourself, that's as bad as the overeating we all did to get here in the first place :( The idea and process should be…

When I dropped my calorie intake to 1800 calories I stopped losing weight, put it back to 21-2300 and it started dropping off again

Eat more fat!!! Yeah I'm sure everyone will say "don't eat more fat" BUT I went on a low fat diet, was eating 2000 calories a day and was PERMANENTLY starving I stopped buying low fat stuff, carried on eating 2000 calories a day and never felt hungry. for me at least my body was screaming for fat hence feeling hungry all…
