How come the weight just not want to come off?
I am continuing with this fitness regime. I am running 20 minutes now and going really well. Looking at increasing it. Eating hell better.
Yet the scales just do not want to move.
Hmmm....
You know how you and someone else both said above you can't get rid of the bit around the middle? Its a good chance you don't have as much fat there as you think but have a lot of shit (LITERALLY!!) stuck in your intestines. A 2 week detox through your local naturopath would help immensely ... & by the second week your poo will look like koala poo!!! lots of little black pebbles stuck together - the result of years of junk food build up. MMMMMM YUMMY!!! hehehehhehehe
I'm 176 cm (5'10") and have been as low as 56kg over the past 2 years, and the only time i haven't had some kind of bulging around the guts is after detoxing & eating SUPER healthy & doing yoga & massaging my guts.
You also mentioned soft drinks are your vice ... you have to find a way to get over that. Soft drinks are not only giving you excess sugar for your body to burn (before it can get to burning fat) but you also could be irritating your bowel further with too many soda's. The bubbles mess with the digestive acids in some people with weak digestion like us ...
Look at it this way ... if you can find a diet that you can eat 99% of the time, you can strenghten your system to the point that you could be able to occasionally eat & drink some things without major reactions.
A few other points to try to help increase your metabolism ...
1) Drink a shot of lemon juice & water first thing each morning before any meals. Do some light stretching & you'll be hungry within 20 minutes. Your metabolism has been kick started!
2) Don't eat carbs after 3pm
3) Don't eat anything 3 hours before bed
4) NO SOFT DRINK!! ;p
Would anyone be interested in having some personal trainers & diet professionals around here to answer these types of questions?
