I HAVE FOLLOWED MY MENU FOR 3 WEEKS NOW AND HAVE LOST VERY LITTLE! IT SEEMS LIKE ALOT OF FOOD I CAN HARDLY EAT EVERYTHING COULD IT JUST BE TOO MUCH OR TOO MANY CALORIES FOR ME I AM GETTING VERY DISAPPOINTED. I WAS HOPING FOR A LOSS OF A POUND OR SO A WEEK I ONLY LOST IN THE FIRST WEEK I WENT TO MY DOCTOR FOR A PHYSICAL AND I WAS THE SAME WEIGHT I HAD BEEN THE LAST 4 VISITS. I CAN FOLLOW A PLAN EXACTLY WITH NO TROUBLE BUT WHEN I AM TRYING SO HARD NO RESULTS ARE VERY FRUSTRATING HELP THANK YOU
I’m on week 3 and not losing any weight either. What I do like is all the different foods and not gaining any weight. I think I need a better combination of foods to activate my metabolism.
This has made me feel better as I am finding exactly the same thing. I have also started exercising so was so disappointed my weight loss has stopped.
I am also on week 3Hi to all. If you are having trouble finishing the food, your body is very likely telling you something – don’t push it. It’s great when you can be in tune with your satiety signals! Keep in mind that if you have been on restrictive diets in the past, it will take your body a little while to get used to normal amounts of food – the fact that you are not gaining weight is a great sign. Also remember that slow weight loss can be key to long-term maintenance. As for the exercise component, remember that exercise helps you exchange fat for muscle, and muscle is heavier than fat – so even if the scale is moving very little, you may be getting healthier. At this stage, try to depend on how you look and how your clothes fit rather than the number on the scale. Try mixing up your exercise and throwing in some bursts of high intensity and strength training to kickstart more loss – examples include 30 seconds of jogging every 5 minutes during a walk, or doing arm lifts with bottles of water or food cans, etc.
