Take me under their wing and help me? I am a female 5'5 23-26% body fat (yuck yuck gross) Dont know whats wrong.

Eating 1100-1300 cals a day very low carb working out 5 days at the gym cardio in the morning on an empty stomach 3-4 days a week I dont understand. Maybe I dont know anything. Anywone wanna help a girl with a diet and workout program? Help me!
 
I don't think you're eating enough to keep your metabolism running. 1100 calories is sub-mainenance for even a 91lb person!! Mr. X's CKD is a good choice or, like they said, spatts is always glad to help out, especially if your there in her area!
 
yeah... post your daily diet and weekly exercise regiment and I'm sure we'll be able to at least point you in the right direction.
 
okay -

Monday thru Friday I run for about 30 min
My diet is 1 egg and some egg whites for breakfast

in between breakfast and lunch is tuna

for lunch its a grilled chicken breast salad

then more tuna w/ hard boiled eggs w/ the tuna

then on to the gym every day monday thru Friday - working different things abs twice a week on the side

Then Sunday its whatever goes - not really to bad of a cheat day but thats when my boyfriend takes me out to eat or whatever - should I get rid of this day ?

Its the same thing every week. I watch everything that goes into my mouth and I am religously at the gym...... am I not eating enough during the week??

On Sundays I retain so much water that I am miserable - and feel like i gained 600 pounds almost enough to make me quit and go back to a low fat low calorie diet.......

I guess trying to come up w/ my own diet and fitness program did not work - I guess i just need some help.....
 
Well, I'm no expert, so if I'm wrong, somebody feel free to correct me.


You're doing a low-carb diet, eh? How much water are you drinking per day?

Are you drinking diet soda or anything like that?

Have you tested with ketostix to make sure you're in ketosis?

Have you taken a look at Mr. X's CKD worksheet?

It doesn't seem like you're getting enough fat for a ketogenic diet... I've heard/read that you should shoot for a roughly 1:1 ratio of protein:fat. Maybe you should consider adding some flax oil, olive oil, peanuts, etc?

Is Sunday a cheat day or just a cheat meal? I don't necessarily think you need to cut it out completely... Personally, I think it's about how strict you want to be. I know I throw in a cheat meal every once in a while just to maintain my sanity.

How long have you been dieting this way?

As for daily calories... Everything I've read/seen/heard suggests calories=12xbodyweight as a starting point for losing weight. I don't recall you posting your weight, so you'll have to crunch the numbers yourself.

What kind of workouts are you doing? Full-body every day or do you split up your body parts?

That's about all I can think of right now. Hopefully some others will chime in.
 
I just saw on your other thread that you're 140 lbs... so, by my calculations you should be getting roughly 1680 cals/day.
 
thanks - i am splitting up the body parts for my workouts.

How long have I been dieting this way ? Well for years and years I did the low calorie fat free diet. I stayed at 500 calories a day for six days a week and had a cheat day - and I was about 120 pounds but 38% bodyfat.

Well now I am 140 and 23% bodyfat but I wanna drop more but I'm suck - I've been stuck here for about four months! Doing everything I can. I'm afraid that I am eating too much :( But I guess I need to do more. I jsut want to have a perfect diet - and I'm not sure how to do that.

I never drink soda not even diet. Only water all the time.

Sunday is a cheat day. The whole day. Maybe I should keep it to a cheat meal???? it is usually the whole freakin day. I'm really strict during the week though. Sometimes I cheat on Saturdays too. :(
 
500 cals/day!? Good lord, how did you survive?! :)

I saw Babyfaced Assassin posted a sample diet in your other thread. He seems to know what he's talking about, so I'd say give that a try. Try it for a week or two and see how it goes.

As for your cheat day... again, it's all about how strict you want to be. Just know that the crappier you eat, the more likely it is to set you (further) back.

I think the only way to find the perfect diet is to experiment. Everyone responds differently to different diets. Write down everything you eat and monitor your weight, bodyfat levels, etc. Keep a journal and use it to figure out what works for you.

The most important part is to be patient and STICK WITH IT! It's hard, but in the end it'll be worth it.
 
Hmmmm... well you don't seem to eat to much, so you'll be cheap to feed, and 23% bf isn't that bad. Send a pic and I'll decide if I want to keep you around. You are house broken right?
 
lol

I did not survive on that. (500 cal) my metabolism slowed down and I gained just from eating anything at all! I would get dizzy walking up stairs - I would faint after getting out of the tanning bed - my workouts were not really workouts and you can forget doing anykind of cardio. Plus I was always tired and in a crappy mood -

good times.......

oh yeah - of couse i'm house broken. I can do tricks too....
 
Candy,

This is what has helped me. I did CKD and followed Mr. X's spreadsheet to the T, no deviation. I didn't lose any weight but about 2% bf. Then I got stuck so...

I know eat around 1400 cals a day.

I eat 5-6 meals a day. Basically

Breakfast:

3 egg whites, bowl of oatmeal

Lunch 1:

3 oz chicken breast
4 oz Yam

Lunch 2:

Same as lunch 1

Dinner :

Protein Shake

After Gym:

Protein Shake

Snack:

Depends if I want it: a big salad or a bowl of bing cherries.

I eat every 2-3 hours. I have read that you can lose weight with less calories, but you have to fool your body into thinking that it's getting more food. In order to do this you have to eat every 2-3 hours. I hope this helps. I am no expert, but this is working for me. Good luck.

Alicia,

Pretty well. I have come to terms that this is not a race. I'm trucking along. I refuse to get on the scale. It does nothing but frustrate me. I am now going to gauge how I feel, how I look and how my clothes fit as the results. Thanks for asking. How's everything with you?b
 
I'm gonna go w/the consensus and say up the calories. 1400-1500 sounds good. Also if you're doing low carb you definitely need more fat, add a tbsp of olive oil here or there and that will do you good. As for the cheat day, I say you need a social life so give yourself one-two meals and if you can, take ALA before eating...
 
I think that the problem is that you're using the protein as the main source of energy, besides eating too little to support your daily activit... therefore storing fat.

Here are some suggestions for your diet...

>My diet is 1 egg and some egg whites for breakfast
>in between breakfast and lunch is tuna
>for lunch its a grilled chicken breast salad
>then more tuna w/ hard boiled eggs w/ the tuna

1st meal - Breakfast
one bowl oatmeal, 1 apple, 6 almonds
2nd meal
6 egg whites with green veggies, 1 slide bread (no white bread), 1 cup of tea
3rd meal
200g chicken breast or meat or fish, 1 cup of rice, green veggies salad
4th meal
protein shake, 1 grapefruit
5th meal
tuna with boiled veggies

Notes: Cook with extra-virgin olive oil, do not cut up salt, don't eat sugar.

Are you taking any supplement?
 
Candy, you may wish to take a look at the CKD worksheet, as has been suggested. You are definately eating too much protien, and not enough fat. BTW what type of tricks can you do, be specific. Glad to hear that you're housebroken. I hate cleaning up messes on the carpet.
 
Candy,

I would increase your protein to 150 grams a day at least, keep your carbs around 150, and fats to a minimum (except good fats such as found in salmon). Eat 6-7 meals a day. This will increase your metabolism, thus you wll burn more calories. Get some diet and training software such as www.crosstrainer.ca to keep track of all your foods (it actually has a lot of foods in the database and can break the percentages down). If after staying on this program for 4 weeks and you have not tone up or lost anything, then you may want to get a TSH (Thyroid level) check at your doctor. Hope this helps. Email me for more info and I will be glad to help. I am in Missouri. Geoff
 
Insulin expires in 28 days after being opened. Unopened packages expire on exp date listed on vial. Insulin can be store at room temperature (under 86 deg F) for no more than 4 weeks. Expired insulin looses it potency.
