M/E question

Starleena · 06-15-2006, 10:53 AM

Is losing only 3-4 pounds a week right? I'm drinking 3-4 litres of diet soda, water, green tea and dieters tea a day. I eat several hard boiled eggs when I'm hungry...

I'm getting tired of eating eggs... I eat canned tuna in water, lean meat, fish, hamburger patties and sausages throughout the week, but wonder am I burning the food intake too slowly? Is there anything I can do to speed the burning process up more? My excercise is cycling 3-4 times per week; about 1-1/2 - 2 hours each time, and I do a lot of walking.

Any help and advice would be fantastic!

Losing ONLY 3-4 lbs per week! How much do you want to lose a week?

You are doing great on M/E. You could cut out the fattier meats like hamburger and sausage and make it more Kimmers Experiment, which is lower in fats and calories than M/E, but I think 3-4 pounds a week is awesome. When you begin M/E or K/E you lose a lot the first week then settle into a steady losing pattern. You loss will not continue as fast as the first week but it will be faster than reg low carb diets.

Thanks, I thought I wasn't doing to well on the M/E diet.

I know a woman who is on the Dr Bernstien diet plan and seems to be losing 5 pounds a week.

Hmmm... give up my sausages and hamburger patties; oh now that's going to be hard!

I love sausages and hamburger meat... my other main meat that I eat is skinless chicken. Well, I'll have to cut down my 2 favourite meats to once a week.

Again, thankyou!

I've always lost well while eating hamburger, though I eat lean hamburger (usually sirloin.)

I would try to cut out the diet soda first. Many peoples losses are slowed by diet soda. 3-4 liters is a lot of soda and you are getting 12-16 carbs from just that daily.

I would suggest cutting down the soda as well. Is your tea, tea you brew, or tea that is premade in a bottle. (e.g. liptons diet green tea)? I think there are some hidden carbs in that.
