Answer 2

The same thing was happening to me until I started juicing so that I could get pleanty of concentrated nutrients for energy and that burn off fat and supress my appitite and stave my cravings for sweets and unhealthy carbs.

Juicing is a great way to lose weight and become healthier. Juicing the right fruits and vegetables will give you energy and emotional stamina. What seems to be good for me is juicing mango, an orange peeled, an apple, some berries (especially red raspberries) and fresh pineapple in the morning. Then about 45 min later I eat some high fiber foods (muffins with nut meal, whole wheat, flax meal, oat flour, egg and buttermilk sweetened slightly with molasses or high fiber cereals and an egg or two). This dietary start of my day helps curb my appetite and makes it easier to stick to healthier meal choices the rest of the day.

Mid afternoon I make myself a vegetable cocktail adding an apple. What works for me is one apple, two carrots, two ribs of celery, one cucumber, handful of flat leaf parsley, a small beet, two Roma tomatoes, and a dash or two of cayenne pepper. For a big energy boost you can add a half inch of fresh ginger. Also a good immune booster is adding a clove or two of garlic if you don't mind the smell (garlic oil capsules work just fine--not in the juice--just take it with your veggie cocktail). There are loads of books with juicing recipes that are designed to help what ails you---just look up juicing on the web.

Remember to never let yourself get to the point of feeling like you are starving. Have some nuts or other high fiber and yogurt snacks in between meals to sustain energy and surpress your appitite.

Sorry for rambling. I recently bought an Omega multitask machine and it is wonderful. It uses augger technology so that there is no heat to deplete nourishment of foods you grind. I am able to have fresh juice daily and grind my own nuts and grains and seeds, make nut butter, sorbet, frozen yogurt, and slushes.

The way I satisfy my ice cream cravings--when I am strong enogh!---is by mixing a variety of berries with plain whole milk yogurt and then freeze it in ice cube trays then use the Omega machine to grind about five cubes into my favorite ice cream bowl. If the plain yogurt is too tart for you add a little honey when mixing or pour a bit of dark chocolate syrup on it while eating it.

I guess I will let you go---wish you well---Tillie

P.S. I also use the Omega to grind my own chicken and turkey.

The basic reason is that your body has not reacted to the change in the type of food that you have been having for the last month. What you probably should try is to vary the amounts and types of calories that you are consuming.

I think that as you appear to have been eating the same type of food each day, your body has been able to predict your eating pattern and has adjusted its calorie burn-off to suit. You need to vary your calorie intake while at the same time maintaining enough of all of the different types of calories that your body requires to stay healthy.

Answer 4

If you're exercising regularly then you could just be gaining muscle mass and of course muscle weighs more than fat.  So you may not be losing weight according to a scale but may still be losing fat and gaining muscle at the same time.  Also try counting your calories.  Just because you think you're eating healthy doesn't mean that all "healthy" food is low in calories.  Talk to a nutritionist just to make sure.

Answer 6

By understanding a realtive simple equation on energy balance is the key to manage your weight successfully.

Calorie intake > Calorie use ==> Weight Gain

Calorie intake = Calorie use ==> No change in body weight

Calorie intake < Calorie use ==> Weight loss
