Hi I'm Michael, I'm 26 from Scotland and have being trying to lose some weight. I'm 6 2" and medium build though I have a couple of stone excess fat I want to lose.
I've basically been trying to cut my calories right down, get the nutrients I need while not going hungry.
For the past couple of weeks I've been eating brown toast and scrambled eggs for breakfast, not eating till dinner then just having 2 slices of brown toast a full tin of baked beans with onion chopped through them and maybe a couple of eggs with the yolks taken out. I also make a huge pot of soup with lentils, potato, onion, carrot, turnip and leek, which lasts me through the week whenever I fancy a bowl.
I count my calories each day and they never exceed 1500 and I'm fairly tall. As well as this I'm walking everywhere and only using the car when necessary which tallies to about 3 hours quick pace walking a week. However I'm not losing any weight despite eating 1000 calories less than the allowance?! I have noticed there's a lot of carbs in there but it doesn't exceed the 230 RDA, is this where I'm going wrong, too many carbs? I know the beans have a lot of sugar but its still way below the RDA of sugar as well.
Any advice would be really appreciated thanks,
Michael
