If you went from being a biscuit chomping, chocolate guzzling sugar fiend to eating loads of salads, low fat meals and healthy breakfasts - how much would you expect to lose a week?
I am on week three of denying myself all snacks and sweet things and have lost a grand total of one pound!
I am seriously confused, why am I not losing weight.
Here's an example of what I ate the last couple of days
Monday:
Breakfast: small amount of oats with fat free yoghurt and some strawberries.
Lunch: Salad (Chick peas, cucumber, tomatoes, small bit of feta cheese) and mackerel fillets
Dinner: Slimming world Spag bol with a small bit of low fat cheese.
Snacks: Banana, pear, apple.
Drinks: Loads of water and 2 cups of coffee.
Today:
Breakfast: half a grapefruit, fat free yoghurt with two chopped up strawberies, a chunk of pineapple and 5 grapes.
Lunch: 2 eggs, 4 small slices of ham spread with low fat cheese, salad (Celery, apple, cucumber, carrot, tomatoes) 5 pickled onions.
Dinner: Will be chicken fillets, salad and roast potatoes cooked with low cal spray.
Drinks: Water and 2 cups of coffee
Alcohol: I have had 2 vodkas with slimline bitter lemon.
I have had pasta once and rice twice and have eaten more fish than I would usually eat.
This is the kind of thing I have eaten for the last two weeks. I was hoping for 2lb a week weight loss but it's just not happening.
Has my body gone into 'starvation mode' or is this a myth?
