Very Frustrated...only Lost 31 Lbs

[michelle135 1]

I totally understand where u are. I am in the same situation, but just this week seem to be focused and getting back in gear.

I use Protein shakes, boiled eggs, Beans and chicken for my Protein. Lots of Water and 1200 calories a day. I still feel hungry, but I think it's just head hunger and really have to fight with myself to not eat at night. (I am starving right now but not going to eat.)

Cucumbers are filling and low calorie a whole one is only 5 calories and it in some apple biggest is my fav snack besides a skinny cow ice cream sandwich @140 cal & 4 g protein.

This is a hard thing but so with it! Don't give up....coming to this site everyday when I am struggling really seems to help me to focus and do better maybe it will for you too!! Good luck!!

We eat a lot of ground turkey breast. We'll add taco seasoning, and throw on some FF refried Beans, FF cheese, and salsa. We basically use ground turkey instead of ground beef for everything, Soups, burgers on the grill, lasagna, you name it!

One great snack is low fat string cheese. I'm not a big cheese eater, unless it's melty and mixed with something, but the string cheese keeps me satisfied between meals and is pretty good on Protein.

A pretty decent Protein shake is the pure Protein in the can shakes. I got mine on Amazon. Its 170 calories, 35 g of Protein, 4 g of total carbs but only 1 g is from sugars. Its a Caseinate instead of whey based which has the benefit of satisfying a craving for cheese...I just figured that one out last night.

I do the shake, cup of coffee, and one slice of whole wheat-low cal toast for Breakfast, something protein packed for lunch with few carbs and then I eat a healthier version of whatever the family is eating for dinner. Good thing for me is that they really like the modified version of stuff.

It would seem to me that your portion sizes need to be adjusted. It's not only about the Protein if what you are eating for your protein is high in fat. Maybe a fill would help with the hunger. The diet that my doctor has given me says 4oz should be your whole meal. Maybe even some more info from a dietician would be helpful, to figure out portions and meal ideas.

My doctor says low fat Proteins only- no Peanut Butter.< /p>

Hummus? Greek yogurt has tons Protein. Pack your lunch- avoid thd cafeteria if you can. Good luck- today is a new day

If you need that PB fix, try PB2. It's like 50 calories, and a lot less fat per serving, and it has a bit of Protein as well.
