TweetMe, sometimes. I am trying so hard to lose some stubborn weight that I gained since my hip surgery, I know there are days that I under eat (in attempt to lose that weight)

It has NOT worked for me at all, for even under eating, I still cant lose an ounce!! (literally!) UGH!

I personally dont know how to proceed with my eating, for nothing I do seems to be working what so ever! Sigh.......

TweetCould it be that your metabolism is crashed? I read that you should check your temp to give you an idea of your metabolism. It is supposed to be 97.2 or higher in the morning. Just a thought...

TweetI probably under eat quite often. I just don't have much will power when it comes to eating correctly. I need someone around me every day keeping me on track.

TweetI try not to, but it does happen from time to time.
I blame time, or lack of, on those busy days. Are there any other type? Regardless, I should always fit my refueling requirements in.

I don't know if you've heard it, or if you already know, but smaller, smarter portions, more frequent. It takes activity. Step up the activity. For fat burning, your optimum time of day for caloric burning is in the A.M. Early a.m. Don't hit it until you've put somethig in your stomach to burn, or you're taking 2 steps back. hat would result in more storage of calories if you go on an empty stomach. You need that early, light meal to jumpstart your metabolism. Then an early morning cardio session will burn that off, so you'd want another very light,(such as protein shake), just after the a.m. fat-burner. Then smart,(nutritious), smaller portions throughout the day.

Carb sensitive bodies must really work to get that metabolism going. It doesn't take long to train your metabolism to work faster. That along with the proper nutritional intake, and caloric burning exercises will lead to success. It's hard work. My wife was up from some medication that put over 15lbs on her within about a month. She's been on a decent little weight loss program for the last 2 months, and is back down near her ideal weight. She's almost exactly 15lbs lighter, but wants to get another 5-7lbs off. It's taken some adjustments, and she has a whole nother battle which makes it very difficult for her to just get a walk in every morning. That's why it's taking a little longer than she'd like. If she could go hard, she might already be at her goal, but...she has ailments that make it difficult much of the time.

TweetI eat 6 times a day, the same food everyday. Only on Saturday do I eat a different meal. Usually BBQ something. I guess it's from being in the military, I like the routine of doing the same thing at the same time of day everyday.

TweetHi,

Yes, I do know about smaller, frequent meals, I have eaten like this for along time for I have issues with low blood sugar.

Here is a typical eating day for me:

B - (this is my pre workout meal) Protein shake made with: one scoop of PP, 1/4 cup of steel cut oats, 1/3 frozen banana, handful of frozen blueberries, and/or strawberries, two tablespoons of ground flax seed and 1/2 cup unsweetened almond breeze and the rest water. (all mixed in my magic bullet)

S- (this is my post workout snack) - protein shake made with one scoop of PP mixed with a package of Emergen C ( I Was mixing with Chrystal Lite, but found out I may have issues with food colorings).
I also will eat a small amount of carbs at this time after my workout.

L - Egg white omelette made with peanut butter and banana, chopped up raw veggies (cukes, peppers, celery, etc.) Handful of gluten free crackers ( I am trying to follow a gluten free diet this past month due to some health things going on.) or I will have a 1/2 cup of brown rice

S- handful of almonds, or sunflower seeds, or pumpkin seeds and a piece of fruit. Sometimes a few squares of dark chocolate

D- Salad with lots of veggies, grilled chicken, small portion of rice or potato.

S - I was eating a small container of greek yogurt, but have given that up lately seeing if that would help in my weight loss battle. (it hasnt as of yet)

So, really, that is a typical day of eating for me.

My workouts are always in the morning and never on an empty stomach for I would pass out if I didnt have anything to eat.

I have been doing around 30 - 45 minutes of cardio, and 5 days of weight lifting, somewhat heavy.

What kind of weight loss program has your wife been on, what kinds of things does she eat? I would love any help!!!!

Thank you!

Michelle

TweetI have had a hard time lately getting in all my meals!! I catch myself just picking over them, instead of really eating them. BUt with the holiday season getting closer hopefully I can get things rolling back on track~



Stay Strong~~!!!
IPL

Tweeti have the worse diet now that i've had in years!! since the elbow, financial stress and stress with the family, i havnt been eating well AT ALL!! nowhere near where i should be and i also havnt touched a weiight in 6wks!!! i need to get settled in and get back on a program if i'm going to achieve my goals!!

TweetEverybody says that I should eat more but I have stomach issues and I eat like a bird

TweetI have been eating a lot less here lately but it's due to me trying to shed a little(lot) of fat that i have been carrying. I have cut back to about 220g protein and im weighing about 280. I know i should get more in but it seems to be working and strength is still going up.
