Slow weight loss is frustrating, if not unexpected. I've always had trouble losing weight. I just have to stick with it. What I don't understand is how, if I am really exceeding my calorie intake by 1500-1800 calories per day -- that is, using more calories than I am eating -- I should be losing 2-3 pounds every 7 days. I'd like to lose 5 pounds per month. I don't think that's an unreasonable expectation. I'm hoping that with another few weeks of sticking to the diet, my metabolism will click in, and the weight will start coming off.
The reality is -- the way I'm eating right now, gradually shifting calories away from animal proteins and fats and toward high fiber grains, veggies and fruit, is the way I need to eat for the rest of my life. So I'm trying to be as creative as possible with the veggies and grains. Tonight I made pattypan squash stuffed with barley and trinity, plus a little grated parm. I'll bake it up tomorrow, and it will serve as my starch alongside fish and the last of my asparagus. I've also begun to be really successful using steamed cauliflower in place of rice or pasta. I had cauliflower with the turkey meatballs we had for dinner last night, and it was really good. We're supposed to have shrimp & grits with Creole sauce on Thursday -- and I'm going to skip the grits and go with cauliflower. It might be really weird or it might be very good. Have to see...
