As someone who's perpetually hungry, my two lifesavers are porridge and popcorn - a bowl of porridge keeps me full until late lunchtime, while feeling virtuously smug about all that oaty age-defying goodness, while popcorn (as in, made on the hob from a pack of kernels) is my go-to low-calorie quick-but-satisfying snack.<br /><br />Good luck! I know how incredibly frustrating it is to feel that you're doing all the right things and not reaping proportionate rewards. It'll happen :)Boffcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10434407949600591651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367518755083475837.post-46842111425688034872010-07-05T23:22:56.688-07:002010-07-05T23:22:56.688-07:00Ugh, I hate scales in general.

Evil little things. <br /><br />I agree with everything people have said - your daily menu looks fab, but is it enough with all the exercise you are doing? My body seems to respond well to increasing my food intake along with the exercise.<br /><br />Do you keep an absolutely honest food diary? I know if I am not 100% vigilent the odd little bite, sip, mouthful-off-someone-elses-plate can add up...<br /><br />Also, why not try looking back at what you were eating the week you had that big 4lb loss? Can you see anything there that was different??<br /><br />Good luck and DON'T let those treacherous scales get you down too much.<br /><br />SxSerenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08902775858327076421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367518755083475837.post-16953772320957883062010-07-04T05:04:42.768-07:002010-07-04T05:04:42.768-07:00The diet is fine...but you don't have to be st...The diet is fine...but you don't have to be starving hungry to diet. I have fruit or porridge for brekkie, a mid morning apple, salad for lunch, a mid afternoon yoghurt, a 400 cal tea and crackers and hummus for supper...all for 1200 cals.<br /><br />How many cals are you eating? It seems less than that in my head. <br /><br />So I'd suggest eat more, eat more often and just stick to it. SOD are just a bitch. I've recently discovered salt is my bugbear. Maybe work out how much salt you are eating. Once I dropped the salt I've lost much easier.<br /><br />There will be a way for your body to lose weight - you just have to keep experimenting until you find it. xxx ps Two stone up could be WAY worse. 90% of dieters are WAY worse than that. Give yourself a bit of credit there.Claire https://www.blogger.com/profile/12150226708200368725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367518755083475837.post-83226488905383313022010-07-02T19:31:21.688-07:002010-07-02T19:31:21.688-07:00Your eating looks very virtuous!

The only thing I can suggest, since it's something I'm about to embark on (if i can get my act together) on the advice of a few people, is to worry less about food and instead increase the exercise to really vigorous things like spin class, running (ok, not running!) And also doing weights, since muscle will help you burn more fat and keep it off.<br />Anyway, just a suggestion. Keep trying, keep writing. There's lots of people cheering you on!Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00166505182382690411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367518755083475837.post-78061308207852495672010-07-02T19:29:54.759-07:002010-07-02T19:29:54.759-07:00I'm impressed with how few calories you are ea...I'm impressed with how few calories you are eating, but after looking at your list I thought, "I would be absolutely starving all day if that was what I ate".<br /><br />If you are starving, that may be the issue. Your body will be going into famine mode and holding on to all the weight it can. <br /><br />As Linz M said - more protein would be good. It keeps you from getting hungry. If I were you I would cut down on grains (granola, rivita etc), have an egg at breakfast and include more meat and more vegetables. Vegies are great because they have so few calories so you can eat heaps of them.Isabellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13091613050260494544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367518755083475837.post-5806971692063392352010-07-02T09:46:55.519-07:002010-07-02T09:46:55.519-07:00I think scales are the root of all evil.

Is that possible?<br /><br />I can't really see any issues with your food to be honest, my only suggestion would be more protein. I've found that it makes me feel fuller for longer and means I don't tend to snack so much. Babybel lights are fab snacks as they do seem to fill you up. Yesterday I had a massive salad with a whole can of tuna for lunch (how very decadent) which had me full for hours. Just a small thought.<br /><br />However, I'm not an expert at all and not really sure of what I am doing myself as you'll know from my recent mammoth gain.<br /><br />Have a good weekend and ignore those bloody SoD.Linz Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15550977897988384626noreply@blogger.com
