Advice from My Favorite Dietician

I do use a half-packet of Truvia and half a packet of sugar and creamer in my coffee; I'm not manly enough to drink it black.  Try adding some weights or strength training, it is supposed to help burn more calories.  Also, you might want to do some short bursts of running or jumping rope instead of just staying on the treadmill for 45-60min...

Ya gotta love a diet plan that includes coffee!

 

Sounds VERY low carb!  I have been eating lots more carbs. 

I have been eating 5 times/day (following 6 week body makeover)

I lost 15 pounds...but have been stuck for quite a while....like months!

 

I try to exercise every work morning for 45-60 minutes on the treadmill-it depends on how many times I hit the snooze.  I don't do any strength training or at least it doesn't seem like it... because I kinda do like you...I just do a few situps or pushups or squats during commericals. 

 

This is what I have been eating:

breakfast- (2oz lean protein and 1/2cup low sugar fruit)

usually either egg whites and pineapple or smoothie made with egg whites and strawberries

snack (2oz lean protein and 1/2cup low sugar fruit)

usually either egg whites and pineapple or smoothie made with eggwhites and strawberries

lunch (2oz of lean meat, 1/2cup of complex carb, veggies)

usually salad w/balsalmic vinegar, chicken and either brown rice or sweet potato

snack(2oz of lean meat, 1/2cup of complex carb) packet of oatmeal with egg white cooked in it

supper(2oz of lean meat, 1/2cup of complex carb, veggies)

usually salad w/balsalmic vinegar with chicken and either brown rice or sweet potato or sometimes I have steamed veggies instead of salad

 

Do you sweeten your coffee? or use creamer?

My best advice is this (as this is what I do to be so fabulous-ha ha ha):   breakfast:  egg whites or egg substitute scrambled with vegetables (onion, tomato, peppers, mushrooms) sometimes I eat regular scrambled eggs or egg whites scrambled with bacon or sausage and COFFEE of course   lunch:  usually a salad with some type of meat (turkey burger, chicken) and a reasonable amount of regular (not fat-free or low calorie) dressing with water or unsweet tea -or- some type of lean meat and vegetables   snack:  usually celery and a little peanut butter or a ham sandwich made on the bread that says it has only 5 grams of carbohydrate per serving with a little mayo or mustard   supper:  meat and vegetables, meat and salad, or pretty much whatever I have around to cook.   **I do splurge on holidays and birthdays**   Exercise:  I try to exercise at least 5 days a week, but I do it sneaky so that I don't really notice it.  I exercise in front of the TV at night, but only during commercials.  I try to do some type of cardiovascular exercise during at least 4 commercial breaks (I have an elliptical machine) and I do some type of sit-ups, weights, lunges, etc... during 4 other commercial breaks.  If it is nice outside, I'll try to walk or jog if I have eaten REALLY bad things and need to be punished.  Pretty simple.   I DO NOT use any diet drinks or artificial sweeteners.  I do use a little Truvia and very little added sugar.  Besides coffee, I mostly drink unsweet tea or water.   I hope this helps, to be perfectly honest I have lost 15 pounds in just a couple of months doing the above.  Let me know if I can be of further assistance! Don't take this 'dirty' but I want your body!   Seriously, I would like for my body to go through some seriously changes before my wedding day.   If you will give me a diet and exercise plan, I will follow it.  After my success, you can write a book and get rich.   (I know it is not possible to look as good as you...but I would welcome improvement)
