So far, it's been success all the way , but last Saturday's weigh in was devastating!
Ok so I knew I'd had a problem all week with going to the loo (enough information!) But I was stunned to find I'd gained 4lbs!!!
Quick check on My Fitness Pal I couldn't see any problems...
Then I wondered if the rice measurements had been ok, I'd had rice 4 times that week, but I hadn't cooked the rice my husband had, so he'd weighed it. I weighed out the dry rice with the measure he'd been using and discovered that it was well over...instead of 230gms between two of us it was 300gms. So my carb count was well over on at least four occasions. So problem solved but 41bs!
Then Luke checked up with the food I'd eaten that week. He told me that my fat count had been too low on most days and that would make a massive difference to weight loss.
As the queen of diets, weight watchers, slimming world, GI etc. etc. I'm finding it difficult to equate not cutting down on the fats, handicapping weight loss.
Important facts : I have to get the balance between carbs,fats and protein correct.
A low fat intake or a low protein intake slows up weight loss.
I think that the key fact of most diets has been removing fat almost completely, so getting my head around the idea that fat is important has been difficult.
Also remembering that the body will only hold onto or store the carbohydrates /sugars. So even if I've gone over on the carbs I still have to eat my daily quota of protein and fat.
And this week 4lbs off so I'm back on track...weight loss to date 121bs so a long way to go...but very close to my first stone!
