Hi, I've been loosely following the Terri Ann 123 plan which is basically high protein, low carb and low fat. You do a 10 day boost which is unlimited meat unlimited mushroom, peppers, onion but no other veg or fruit. Stage 2 introduces some veg or bread for a week then stage 3 some fruit alternating between stages 2 and 3 till your at target weight.
I haven't been following the stages religiously but ill give you an example of my daily food
Breakfast - 2 eggs and 50g ham
Snack 50g ham.or chicken
Lunch minimum 250g chicken, Turkey or beef mince cooked with spices, onion, pepper etc
Snack fat free yoghurt
Tea again minimum 250g meat cooked as lunch or tuna / chicken / salad
I do use a protein shake some mornings and keep my egg allowance ( 2a day) to bulk out a meal.
I take some milk in my tea about 4 cups a day, no cheese etc and I'm wondering if my fat intake is too low as the plan does, make allowance for some low fat cheese or cream twice a week (20g)
I started at 14.10 and have lost a stone in 6 weeks but it's so slow compared to some I'm seeing on the plan. I haven't had any refined sugar over the 6 weeks at all just a few strawberries or blueberries once or twice a week. No bread, pasta, potatoes at all. I've had about 4 nights out over the 6 weeks and have drunk either dry red wine or vodka and diet pop each time.
Is this weight loss ok or can I tweak things to speed it up a bit?
