Hello FS buddies!
I sat down and took a look at my numbers from my journal to see where I've been to figure out where to go.....The dietician at the hospital where I work told me that my diet should average out to 50% carbohydrates, 30% fats and 20% proteins. I have done that for the last year and a half and lost 30 pounds by doing it! Yeah for me! However, I have plateaued for about 3-4 months now and my some help to get going again.
Per FS my RDI is 1500 calories which I have stuck to pretty well (avg 99.3%). My carbs are at 54% (201g), fats 28% (47g) and protein 17% (67g). I was suprised at how closely I have matched her suggested ratios because with the slowed weight loss, I figured I was pretty far off. I drink a fair amount of water (about 24 ounces a day). I get 6-7 hours of sleep a day. I work 3 twelve hour shifts per week (two on night shift and one on dayshift). I work out for 60-90 min doing strength/cardio videos 2-3 times per week. (It's almost impossible to do a workout on a workday--just not enough hours there.)
So these are my numbers and my story. I know there are a hundred different diets out there and I have tried a couple (Weight Watchers and Atkins). Lost 30 pounds with the WW and put it all back on after two years. Only made it a week on the Atkins and had to quit because of a relentless, pounding headache. I'm looking for some ideas and suggestions from the FS people out there!
Hope everyone is having a wonderful Saturday! We're finally getting some much needed rain here in Upstate SC. It's been dry, dry, DRY!
