Hi all,
I'm currently trying to lose around 7lbs in weight. I eat a reasonably healthy diet and am fairly active. I do spinning/studio cycling twice a week, swimming for an hour twice a week, around 2-4 miles walking every day, 30-40 minutes on the crosstrainer or treadmill on Tuesdays and mini aerobic fitness classes three times a week. My diet is usually something like this -
Breakfast: Porridge (oatmeal) made with soy milk and a tbsp of mixed almonds and pumpkin seeds.
Lunch: Turkey with spinach and sweet potato.
Snack: Mushrooms with houmous.
Dinner: Salmon with broccoli, cauliflower and kale.
Dessert: Small pot of fromage frais.
I make sure not to eat over 1400 calories a day.
Am I on the right track? For a few weeks now I have seemed to lose nothing in weight...although people have told me this may be because I've gained muscle.
Is there anything I can do to speed up the weight loss (healthily) and enhance my metabolism?
