busy, you may want to try UPPING your calories to 1800/day and seeing how that goes for a couple of weeks. How long have you been at it?

Not long I must admit, I have lost 7 lbs since the 1st, although the last 2 weeks I've only lost 2.

It is really hard to up calories when you are a pure vegetarian, and when you eat that much fiber, you tend to get full quickly.

But I did read this formula recently.

You should take the desired weight and multiply that by 10. That is how many calories you should eat. So If I want to be 150 I should eat 1,500 calories a day. I was doing this before I read that, but that was the first time I read it. This was written by a vegetarian doctor not some quack diet guru LOL!

Here's an update. I am now 155 lbs. I joined Weight Watchers about 6 months ago to help me. It works!! And its easy and does not break your bank! You also eat your own foods or you can buy theirs in the supermarket. Of course I will never give up my exercising, that was key to lose weight and get toned.

Generally, when I see patients with a weight loss plateau such as yours, it can be quite frustrating.

I would recommend being a bit more patient with your current program. I'd also look to see if in fact, you need to lose any more weight.

You may be healthy just the way you are!

hi.

I will try to give you some advices, which help me to lose weight when I need to.

First about nutrition:
You mentioned what you eat, but these foods contain most of all carbohydrates.
Where are the protein rich foods? Do you eat meat, eggs, milk or whey protein?
If not then this is major mistake.

I suggest you to add protein rich food with every meal you have.

What type of protein:
Good decision is to eat white of eggs or/and whey protein with your breakfast, because they contain fast protein - eggs(absorbed for 1-1 and 30 hours), whey protein(20-30min). You need fast protein for your breakfast.

Good decision for your lunch is the meat - red meat, chicken chest, fish, milk.
red meat(absorbed for 3-4 hours), milk (absorbed for about 5-6 hours).

For dinner you can eat milk source products, but because it is slow protein I suggest you to take some fast protein like whey protein or chicken chest, because your body has to burn fats for energy during your sleep.

Second about your training:
I suggest you to separate your cardio of your weight training. Perfect variant is to do your cardio in the morning before you ate your breakfast. You can drink something before it, but do not eat. 30 - 45 min veloergometer is the best choice, because it allows you to keep constant temp and keeps your leg muscles. I will explain why it is the best choice in some other post

In the evening you can do your weight training for about 1 hour.

There is nothing difficult. May be you have to make some small changes to have great results.
You can also follow the rule: Be rich man in breakfast, Be work class in your lunch, Be poor man in your dinner. This actually shows that your breakfast has to be rich in carbohydrates and during the day you have to reduce them.

For dinner eat only protein and veggies.

I hope this will help you. People in this forum have good suggestions too, so you can check them.
And do not be desperate.

The guruness is strong in here.

And the myths.
