🎉🎉 Finally, the scale is going down! !! I mentioned yesterday on my last post that I spoke to my nutritionist and she checked my food log for last 2 weeks. She thinks that I'm hanging on to weight because I was depriving my body of the nutrition it needs.I have increased my weightlifting load, increased cardio, and I still workout 6 days a week but do longer sessions. . But, I didn't increase my calories or macros so my body began to hang onto weight. I've been very tired after workouts but thought it was the increase in weights when in reality it is the lack of proper nutrition. Basically I was trying to stay around 50-60 grams of carbs a day to lose those last few pounds. Way to low!! Protein is around 125+ grams which is good and she wants fat around 50 grams which I have a hard time meeting. Its hard to wrap my " diet conditioned" mind around the concept that eating more, especially carbs, will help in weight loss but it works. We upped my RDI by 150 and on hard workout days I'm to increase carb intake to 100+ grams a day. I am still figuring out how to eat that much but I'm trying! Thank you guys for all your support and advice! It really does help!💜💪
