slow progress
 

Hi there, i am a newbie two weeks on the pgrm with no weight loss and loss of energy. Also, a non smoker for 5 months.
Any suggestions.

Pitam.

Hi Pitam, welcome!

It's a bit hard to suggest anything unless we know what you've been eating, so how about posting some of your daily menus?
Also, how much water have you been drinking, and how much exercise are you getting?
Are you eating "frankenfoods" such as low carb bars or sweets?

Cheers.

thank you for your response Rosebud,

For breakfast i eat two eggs boiled, for lunch i will eat grilled chicken with salad or veggies and for dinner i eat some meat and a little more veggies. i don't use aspartame and i try to drink at least two litres of water a day.

Hi pitam:

According to what you put in your post on what you ate, I plugged in the foods into Fitday.com. This is what I got

Breakfast
2 eggs

Lunch
chicken breast
salad with dressing (you didn't really list dressing, but I added)

Dinner
Meat (I put in ground beef 7. oz.)
1 cup green beans

Below are the totals I come up with.

According to your menu you only consumed 959 calories...at your weight you should be consuming 2,000 calories.

You took in 12 carbs...you should be taking in at least 20 carbs.

Your fat intake should be at 65-75%, carbs 3-5% and protein at 25-30%.

If you keep your calories that low your body will put itself into the starvation mode thus you will not lose weight.

Hope this helps.
