    Default Advice

    Hello Everyone,
    I am 7 months out of surgery and things are going okay. I've lost about 30 pounds but I've come to my stopping point and quite frankly its scaring me. I'm no where near where I want to weigh and I'm exercising 4x a week. My diet is decent, with small, but not tiny portions. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Any advice?

    Are staying below 35 carbs a day? I try to stay at 800 calories and 35 carbs a day. I am a slow loser and I know if I go past that it will slow down even more.

    Are you tracking every thing you eat, how often and are you getting enough water? What about sodium, are you getting too much?

    I'm not tracking everything I eat, but its mostly turkey sandwiches. I'm a college student, so I don't have many options to choose from. I know I'm not below 35 carbs a day, but I drink a lot of water, that and coffee. Is there anything that you would suggest for the college college budget and dorm?

    It seems like the first change you should make is to track specifically what you're eating and drinking and how much you're moving / exercising.

    For most people who don't know their actual intake / out-go, they're probably taking in more and not burning as many calories as they think they are.

    Chances are you need to get back to basics.

    Google the 5-day pouch test and consider trying that. It's a 5-day program that shrinks your stomach and offers more restriction than you now have.

    Good luck.
