Anti-Carb diet not leading to weight loss

Truview

Hi I have been trying to avoid carbs as duly as possible over the last 6 months but don't seem to be losing the weight I thought I would. I am 32 years old and 5'11. Looking to get from 15 stone to 12.5 stone. I carry a lot of weight around the gullet area as well.

I jog a fair bit. Every second evening I would do at least a couple of miles

What exactly have you been eating?

How many calories are you taking in per day total?

How many calories do you estimate you are using up per day total?

If the first number is bigger than the second number, adjust one or both until the opposite is true.

If the poster is asking for advice on their low-carb diet why don't we stick to that instead of taking it off topic to calories and exercise.

Reduce calories in and increase calories out.

That's what they are trying to do, by implementing a low-carb diet.

Because carbs or not, if he's taking in too many calories he won't lose weight. It doesn't matter where those calories come from.

OP, from looking at your daily diet it's a lot of quite calorie-dense food. Do you really need 2 rib-eye steaks and a 4 egg omelette in one evening? Are you eating when hungry or just out of habit?

I do enjoy food. I suppose dinner is 5.30 and supper is at 9.30. I only have wine with dinner not with supper.

Because losing weight us dependent on the number of calories consumed.

Low-carb foods also contain calories.

I suppose I might as well start calorie counting. I thought zero bread spuds pasta rice etc was supposed to work though.

Sure you do. This is fifty Euro per day diet without wine.

No why would you say that? I had understood a carb free diet with low intake of processed food would help lose some weight.

1 gram of carbohydrates = 4 calories.
1 gram of protein = 4 calories
1 gram of fat = 9 calories

Avoiding carbs will make no difference if you still eat too many calories

Not wondering that you don't loose weight. Even when I eat normal, I eat less than you.
My low carb diet usually looks like this, examples
breakfast> 300grams of salmon or tub of cottage cheese
lunch> grilled chicken breast with vegetables
dinner> can of tuna in brine with vinegar with veggies
snacks> handful of peanuts

Estimates your diet is 2500 calories a day, no wonder you don't loose any weight.

Cut what you're eating by 40%.

You're eating a massive amount of food.

Because anyone eating that much food would be 30 stone and not attempting to loose weight

I done the paleo type diet and done 2 days of cross fit training every week and the weight fell off me every week.


Basically I ate salmon more eggs and meat and more veg and nuts and what not , I ate very plain food . Restricted staples like spuds to Sunday s. I was never hungry but suffered low energy with decreased carbs.

Down load myfitnesspal app for logging food and calorie content etc / great app.
Use it as a rough guide.

There's other guides that will tell you roughly what cals you would needing for your height etc.

As other posters will tell you less in more out and you will lose weight.

I don't have foie gras daily. A chum brought a pot back from overseas and I was using it appropriately to ensure I got through it before it staled.
