this is my typical days food can some advise lost 1.5 stone but now stopped
breakfast: mullerlight & chopped banana
lunch: HEB ham and HEA half fat cheese sandwich no butter & walkers baked
dinner: huge salad chicken breast and salad cream (1tbls) boiled baby new pots
melon and berries throughout the day & 3 pints of water
I was doing so well but either need more or less .....????
Ok, 4 pints or two litres of water is the minumum your body needs, so try upping that.
Breakfast is fine, but I would put some apple or orange with it to bulk it out and fill you up more.
Lunch I am confused by, the HEA and HEB I take it are the breads and cheese? If this is right check that you are using the right bread. Two slices from a 400g loaf are a HEB choice, but you can only have one slice from a 800g loaf. I assume here that you are synning the walkers baked. These are 5 syns for a 25g bag, or 7 1/2 for a 32.5g bag.
Tea sounds great, but make sure that your salad is a third (Sure you know that
) As lettuce takes up a lot of room but isn't as big as it looks, I chop up onion, tomato and pepper, or some grated carrot to bulk it out. It's all about filling up on superfree wherever you can. As for the salad cream, thats fine, just make absolutely sure you are synning it right, LIGHT salad cream is around 1 syn per LEVEL tbl, if it's a bit heaped, then it's more, and if it's not low calorie, then it's even more, up to 3 syns per level tbl.
You sound like you are making all the right choices, my advice is to up your superfree and your water. Also measure things, a bunch of women in my group started losing again just because they were paying a bit closer attention to what they were eating. And if you do all those things and it doesn't help, don't panic. Sometimes your body takes a while to came around to what you're eating. You might have reached that plateau all dieters come across eventually, the thing is not to give up, but KNOW that it's going to end and the scales will show it sooner rather than later.
Good Luck
