Less calories

[linski24]

Hi all
Right today is day 1 of less calories ... I have been doing 1400 cals per day but my weight loss has stalled ... The weight loss calculators I have used tell me eat between 1200-1500..., so iv lessened my cals to 1200.
I use the low GI/GL ethos.
I work shift work (nurse) so regularly get messed around with food and regular eating .!!
I run 2-3 times a week .. Only 3 miles and do a class once a week too ..!!
I shall eat slightly more cals on an exercise day.
A few years ago I did the low GI diet religiously and lost loads weight .. And would love to do just that .. However my brain and psychy won't let me not CC yet ... Hence why I'm here.
Will let you know how I'm getting on x

Trick is to eat low calorie foods in more volume to make you feel full.
Try not to go to overboard though as you don't want to be stretching your stomach it will only make you feel more hungry. as you will need more food to fill it. Not a good cycle.

Good things are when having a salad try not to use any premade dressings. and avoid oily dressing and high sugar content.
for such a small amount of dressing you could have loads more salad. if you use simple flavours like lemonjuice, salt pepper etc.

When having an omelete if you like them that is.
Try using eggwhites instead of the whole eggs.

typicaly around 17 calories for 1 white eggs worth. compared to 70 calories in total with the yolk.
good for bulking an omelete as you can have alot of eggs for little calories, full of protein. the fat content is laughable.

We all have days like that unfortunately :-( Yesterday I had a massive chicken fajita wrap kit before I cooked my dinner! Where's the logic in that, I was being pure greedy haha. Today's been better though with food. Doing a 5 mile run is amazing, how long does that take? xx

Do you know .. I had forgotten I made this
Well I'm doing slightly more calories but trying lower carbs and high protein ..!! Can't do no carbs ... I'd die lol but I watch them closely .. As carbs give you the insulin spike and that turns everything into fat x
Iv liost 2lbs ...

You have done really well. How long did it take you and how many calories are you taking daily. Although I'm older (;-() your stats are similar to mine and I'm struggling to get out of 10's to 9's

Hi.... I'm set to do 1200 .. However if I GI over I don't stress coz I do do lower carbs abd I'm focusing on keeping insulin levels low with foods that don't hike up my blood sugars.. I may have already mentioned that lol
Im 43 in October so I find It difficult to lose wright ..!! Takes me Ages ... Started losing weight with Ww last year ... Stalled after half a stone for 6 months .. Gave that up and went back to low GI and cal counting ... Now starting to see a difference
