Hi everyone,
I am posting my menu for all to see and maybe some of you will have some input on whether I need to change something that may be slowing my fat loss progress down. Just so you know, my diet menu is for fat loss only. I am not wanting to bodybuild and bulk with muscle. I just want the slim and toned look with a low body fat percentage. Any feedback, suggestions or approvals will be very appreciated. Thank you!!!

HI bookstar,

I am by no means an expert on this subject, but I'll try to answer your question.

Since I have no idea how tall you are, how much you weigh and how often you workout...my answer could be totally off...but here it is anyway...

When I read your diet plan it seems to me that you are consuming too much, if you really don't want to build muscle and just look slim and toned.
What you eat in solid foods seems to be enough to supply your body with the nutrients it needs. If you don't lose fat in the ratio you would like it could be that your body simply gets enough calories through the diet, that it doesn't have to use any of the stored fat for energy.
Maybe try and leave the Protein Shakes and Stacks for a while and see if that helps.

Hope this helps!

I heard that for the best way to tone is to do cardio and light resistance training. Pilates is also a great choice. Hope this helps.

i think it is pretty hard to get down in weight when you are using Stack and products like that ... i could be wrong, but i think the best way to get the "toned" look, is all natural. When you add products like stack, you are building bulk, which hinders the toned look

allcdnboy,

I was refering to the common fat burner ECA stack - Ephedrine, Caffeine, Asperine. It is called a "stack" when combined together.
You must be thinking of a bulking protein or something else that ads bulk. I'm just referring to a fat burner.

Hi,

I am also not an expert, but it seems to me that you are on a body building plan rather on a fat loss plan.
Unless you are working hard, your body will not have the chance to burn all the calories you take in. So even that the food you are eating is healthy and nutritional, it might be a good idea to cut back on the meals.
Three meals and two small snacks -a piece of fruit or about 30g of protein snack -that is all your body needs.
For the main meal -just devide your plate by four. Two quarters to be veg -fresh& steamed; one quarter to be lean protein (chicken, fish; lean beef; tofu) and one quarter to be carbs -high fibre is better! Add a tea spoon of a good form of fat such as olive oil or sunflower oil to your meals, then a peace of fruit or yoghurt with diced fruit for afters -you will have all the goodness in your diet and you'll be losing weight as well.

Hope this helps
