Tracy Weight Loss

Your diet in counter productive to long term fat loss, but may see some success. I also think that your exercise plan may be lacking, if you truly wanted to tighten up your body.

1. Intake. Drinking just water is fine, but not if you are removing all foods. I do agree that in order for someone your size to lose, it requires a lot of effort. I am in the same boat. I am fairly thin at 5′11” 160 lbs, and those that know me, find it odd I am restricting and doing cardio.

The biggest problem your diet has, is that while you will lose fat, you are also going to have a lot of muscle wasting. Muscle is what will actually keep your metabolism higher. This is because muscle will burn more at rest, so we want to preserve that muscle.

.Increase protein consumption. This nutrient is far to important to miss. Most of the time you see starvation cases from 3rd world countries, it is the lack of protein that causes the bloating, depigmentation of the skin etc. So consume about 50 grams of protein a day. Eat vegetables, but avoid fruits. Keep your meal plan simple. 1000 calories at least.

2. Exercise. 25 minutes just isn’t enough. Once again, we need to preserve muscle, so strength training will be in order. It doesn’t have to anything crazy, but an additional 20 minutes of light calisthenics will go a long way.

You want to improve the overall composition of your body, not just lose fat. Those that have a better composition can actually eat more and have more energy.

As fat as the weight on the scale, the normal human body fluctuates by a few pounds throughout the day. Simply drinking 16 oz of water will make you gain one pound until you excrete or use it (16 oz of water weighs a pound). This is why the best time to weigh yourself is when you first wake up. This is because the past 6-8 hours is always the same diet, nothing while you sleep. Still, even then a small fluctuation is normal.
