The part that I'm struggling with is that I'm not losing much weight. I'm 5'6 and I started at 173 and I am now 165. I read the stories on line and in the book and the quick weight loss is just happening for me.
Here's a brief breakdown:
B= raw rolled oats 1/2 cup, great nuts cereal less than a 1/4 cup with frozen blueberries & one bananna, cinnamon, flaxseed and almond milk. Love this eat it every morning.
L= Jasmine rice & pinto beans with Kale OR raw carrots, celery with Hummus (no Oil)
D=4 small red potatoes with mixed frozen veggies OR Mixed vegetables (cosco) with mushroom sauce and rice noodles
Am I eating too much, or can it be that I'm not eating enough. Am I eating to much starch instead of veggies?
The only exercise I'm getting is that I'm walking 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes at night. I'm hoping to increase when I lose some weight.
I have hypothyroidism and hypertension and I'm taking meds for both.
I am open to any and all feedback
