gym but no weight loss

[smilingcrow]

Hi so I have been going to the gym and doing 25 mins cardio on average losing 320 calories plus 30 minutes of weights. I have considerably cut down on my alcohol intake and my weight is exactly the same after 2 weeks. My eating has also remained the same. iS THIS NORMA?

I do it with coconut oil :-)
If you have a good pan,then not as much oil is needed.

Hi there, overweight vegetarian here.

I've just started to diet and am having things like:

-vegetable stir fry witha few tinned chick peas and noodles
-jacket potato with big salad and some more of the chick peas (low fat dressing if you need any)
-stuffed pepper (rice and onion stuffing) with new potatoes and plenty of green veg.
- lentil and tomato bake with mash potato and steamed veg
- butter bean and cauliflower bake topped with sliced potatoes or served on rice
- pasta with tomato sauce and cashew nuts
- lentil curry or lentil chilli

I don't use meat substitutes because i don't like them and they are highly processed. I have also almost managed to cut out cheese. Just have it as a treat along with bread at the weekends. I'd eat more tofu if I had the confidence to know what to do with it.

To be honest I haven't lost much yet but I'm the opposite to you and struggling to do enough exercise. Here are some recipes which mit help. Good luck.

thanks! I have put my diet in to an app on iphone (very detailed actually) and it says that if I stick to it I will go down from 87kg to 82 kg in 5 weeks! I will believe that when I see it. Well we will see. I am looking forward to my yoghurt and berries and pickeled eggs for lunch already! lol
