    Hi there,

    I have been on this plan for a week and not lost much. Just wandering what i am doing wrong?
    With my menu, i turned these menu items below

    2 ounces of Tuna, Canned in Water (the other option was fish)
    1 Hamburger Bun/Bap, Whole-grain/Wholemeal
    1 ounce of Brick Cheese (Full Fat)
    1 cup of Carrots
    1 Tomato
    1 Egg (omega-3)

    into a chicken salad roll. Is this ok? or is that what i am doing wrong?
    Thanks in advance
    Vanessa

    Hi, Vanessa. The weight loss is supposed to be slow – that way, it is better sustained, and you avoid rebound weight gain. If you want, you can give the process a boost by exercising – even just taking a 20-minute walk every day or every other day.
    Also, most people who have been on diets before may find it slow getting started – again, exercise is the best solution to get your metabolism back up.

    Thanks Ossie,

    This morning have put on so need to stop reading posts that say they have lost 8-10 lbs.

    Anyway, is the 1/4 chicken too much and is the swap that i have made ok?

    For the first six days I was losing on average a pound – for the last two days have stayed the same – haven’t changed anything on the diet – so will have to wait and see where it goes. Good luck.

    Hi, Vanessa. 1/4 chicken sounds like a lot. The best way to be sure is to take a look at how much boneless chicken you end up with – a handful is about 4 ounces (exchanges), which is what you were allotted for the meal (2 ounces tuna, 1 ounce cheese, 1 egg). Given the average weight of a chicken, 1/4 would yield much more than that.

    I didnt give the weight a thought until it wasnt working that well. Just focussed on having what was on the list to have. Thanks again Ossie, will scale it back. ta
