Concerns about my Weight Loss and Diet?
Hey all,
Im concerned about my weight loss and diet.. Please comment.
Well, Heres my diet:
MEAL 1 (7:00am-9:10am, whenever I wake up)= 1 Scoop Whey and 1 Bannana
MEAL 2 (12:25)= (1 SCoOP WHEY PROTEIN after workout) 1 tin of tuna in water
MEAL 3 (3-4PM) 2 grilled lean chicken breasts OR 20 shrimp (not breaded, just regular, 10 shrimp = 0.5g of fat and no carbs)
MEAL 4 (7-7:30PM) = Tin of tuna or fruit
WORKOUT = 30 MIN TREADMILL DAILY
AND on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, I do compound lifts at a gym.
Well, im afraid since im eating a bannana a day, or sometimes an orange, that it will mess up my low carb diet.
Nonetheless, I started my diet at 88kg, and im 85.7kg now, and its only been 1 week exactly.
-- Im worried about the bannana and fruit intake, because according to a calorie site, it says to avoid them on a diet
--- ALSO, im worried about the rapid weight loss
THANKS IN ADVANCE~!

Sounds a little light in calories to me. You should probably be eating about 1800 calories per day, and maybe even a little more. Let your workouts burn the fat off, don’t try to starve it off.
Forget "low carb." There’s no need for it. You can certainly lose weight effectively with a diet that’s 40% carbs, 40% protein, & 20% fat, or even 50/30/20. That 4th meal of tuna OR fruit is crazy. You need protein with every meal, esp if you’re lifting.
You might want to up your treadmill workouts to 45-60 minutes.
Track your diet on a site like http://www.thedailyplate.com or http://www.fitday.com. Accountability goes a long way towards fat loss.

That’s a common mistake people make on "low carb" diets. You need some carbs, and carbs from fruits and veggies are ok. In fact they’re necessary. It’s the processed carbs you’re supposed to stay away from, like breads, rice, pasta, etc. You need to incorporate more fruits and veggies, seriously. You don’t get many calories from them anyways. You can eat a whole cup of broccoli and only have 60 calories.
Do it. Your body will thank you.
