Hi Jo!
Since we are all different, some of us are metabolically wired to lose fast.
Others, not so fast. And still others, very slowly.
Some of need to push our bodies harder for the same results.
The trick is to find what helps you lose faster without depriving your body of what it needs.
Doug is right.
With reduced portions, I would also try substituting more lean protein for foods higher in fat.
Just be sure to get more fiber and drink more water when eating very high protein.
Also, I can't remember if we discussed this before, but have you been to the doctor recently to check your thyroid?
Over the years, my wife's went way out of whack. So much so that she would actually GAIN weight while low carbing!
But after the doc adjusted her meds, her
weight loss has been faster than mine.
Don't let yourself become too discouraged.
There is a reason for this and we will help you find it.
