realistic time frame for weight loss?

bluebell asked:


Hi I’d like to know why i’m not losing weight!
Brekkie: shredded wheat and fruit
Lunch: 4 wholemeal tuna salad sandwiches and fruit OR Beans on toast
Dinner: bolognese and wholemeal pasta

I walk over 2miles to work and back each day. I did used to have binge eating and put on over a stone. I think i now expect overnight results which is silly! Anyone know a realistic time frame for weight loss eating healthily like above?!

    Losing weight without starving yourself

    Losing 2 pounds a week is a realistic and healthy pace.

    If you are working out more than you used to don’t forget that fat might get replaced by muscle, which means that you could not lose weight or even put weight on whilst actually losing body fat and getting a more trimmed body.

    Want to lose weight?

    too many carbs, on your bread and pasta.
    Get much more protein. Tuna is good. Replace the fruit with vegetables of some kind. Drink nothing but water.
    Walk faster to work.

    Lose weight, Lose Fat

    two pounds a week is good, you will stay commited & wont binge. eight pounds a month is good.

    for lunch you’re eating 4 seperate sandwhiches of tuna sald? that’s very high calorie! it could have as much as 2400 calories!! beans and toast is better, but not great. What are you’re portions for the pasta? because for a measly 1/4 it’s possible you’re consuming over 200 calories, and bolognese sauce isn’t very good either. But good job with the breakfast!

    I’m trying to lose ten pounds in a month, and this is what I’m doing:

    Exercise: 5x a week cardio with weight training
    30 minutes 15 minutes

    Try eating 6 small meals a day, I lost 6 lbs in 1.5 weeks (about .5 stones). eat healthy snacks inbetween each meal like fruits and veggies

    Breakfast:
    ~Cereal (150 cal or less per serving) with skim or soymilk
    ~Oatmeal made with water, not milk and a banana
    ~2 slices of fiberone toast or any high fiber toast with a canola oil spread
    ~Reduced fat cottage cheese with fruit
    ~Egg beaters or egg white omelette with reduced fat cheese and veggies

    Lunch ideas:
    ~Turkey sandwhich with lean meat, 2 sliced os high fiber low cal bread and reduced fat cheese
    ~Hummus and pita chips
    ~Reduced cal, wheat, high fiber bagel with lite veggie cream cheese
    ~1/2 cup whole wheat pasta with marinara sauce and a salad

    Dinner ideas:
    ~Soup (they make good progresso and trader joes has some healthy options) with wheat crackers
    ~Healthy Chili
    ~Big grilled chicken salad with nonfat, reduced cal dressin

    AND STAY BUSY

    I was a boredom eater and that’s what killed me. If you’re on the move, you don’t think about eating, just enjoying you’re activity!
