Hello there.
I recently (as of March this year) started exercising and dieting in order to lose weight. I was 226 pounds when I started and after some research decided to go on a low carb diet along with my exercise.
I do an hour of cardio 6 days a week with an hour of mid-high intensity weight-training on alternating days along with my cardio (so about 3 or 4 days a week).
I have lost 16 pounds since then, but have been stuck for past 2 to 3 weeks at my current weight (210 lbs) which seems to fluctuated between 211 and back to 210 regularly.
I fear that the weight I have loss was in fact "water-weight" used to process my high protein diet and that I am going to put my weight back on or not lose anything any more at all =/
I need some advice and info regarding this please.
By low carb I mean no bread or pasta or junk food whatsoever (also low sugar etc as I gave up Coke and any carbonated soft drink and instead drink water). I still however eat vegetables and occasionally fruit.
I also drink about 3 glasses of full-cream milk a day, so my diet MIGHT be high in fat especially because I am eating low carb food like meat and pork and chicken etc.
Do I have reason for concern?
Desperately confused at the moment, to the point where I am scared to even go ahead exercising and dieting as I might be plunging further down the wrong path. So ye, any help would be GREAT:Y appreciated thx!
P.S: I eat 3 meals a day BUT because of varsity and studying late at night etc, I end up eating breakfast (about 10 AM), then kinda skipping lunch, eating supper (5PM), then eating again a few hours before sleep. (10PM)
Is this a no-no?
