Fructose is more likely to be stored as fat than other carbohydrates. - please support that statement........1 apple and some pineapple SURELY will not inhibt fat gain...too many believe fruits, dairy and carbs are evil......I'd DEFINATELY keep the fruit and most certainily change the processed white rice into a better carb source.....try brown rice or whole (stone ground) wheat bread........even oats if you are up to it....

Nic,

I have to say that your previous Assvatar looked much more better....

Normally, the quality of the responses you get is influenced by the quality of your Assvatar, so in all honesty you should change it back!!!

Thanks Wallcrawler, I’ve been working out since I was 18 years old. My weight fluctuates between 120-130. I’ve been on this eating plan since Jan 25. I took your advice and cut down the carbs to half a cup per day. I didn’t ditch the fruit late in the evening because that’s when I start to crave sweets. I’d rather pig out on pineapple then chocolate…well not really but you get my point. I weighed myself this morning and I’m down to 124. That means I’ve got 4 more lbs to lose.

HEy, NIc, I just read this. If you ever need to beat the sugar craving, give it a shot. If you ever try it, let me know if it actually works!

"Sugar craving is best handled by a trick that I have developed. You use a product called Glutamine, take about 1,500 milligrams, and then eat a dessert made of heavy cream with a zero-carbohydrate syrup such as Atkins' Nutritionals puts out. This satisfies the sweet craving but more importantly stabilizes the blood sugar, the drop in which started the craving. And the only blood sugar stabilizer is dietary fat, therefore the whipping cream.

Also 500 mcg chromium a day will help with sugar cravings."

Ok I’ve made some changes to my diet.

1 can tuna
4 Tbsp sour cream
1-cup fresh carrot juice

½ chicken breast
1 tsp marinade
Raw spinach
2 tbsp flax oil

½ cup brown rice
1-cup skim milk

5 egg whites
1-cup blueberries

1 Apple

Total Cal: 1300

Can anyone suggest ways to make brown rice yummy? I'm used to the Uncle Bens salt drenched instant rice and so I'll have a hard time letting it go.

1300 cals/day is only 100 cals over the absolute minimum for women (1200 daily).

Have you tried calculating your TDEE and moving from that point? Active people have different caloric needs than couch potatoes. Cuttin cals too much might lead you exactly in the opposite direction.

post your current weight, body fat% (has to be right) and how many times per week you train.

As for the brown rice, I know Soja is not good (lots of sodium) but I sprinkle mine with Soja and it is GOOD!!!

You know you don't want to stay on a diet that's that calorie restricted for too long. Anyway, just the other day, I finally found a way to fix brown rice so I think it's delicious! In a big bowl, put 1/4 cup Uncle Ben's Instant Brown rice and 1 cup of water. Add 1 teaspoon of some soy bean butter substitute like take control or Heart Smart and 1 cube of chicken boullion. Use a big bowl so the water wont boil over. Heat on high for 8-9 minutes. Let sit for a bit then add 1 can of Tuna (I use Chicken of the Sea - Bumblebee only has albacore now!) after draining the water. LAst add several drops of Heinz worchestershire sauce. Mmmmmm-mmmm-mmmmmmmmm!!

Carrot juice - iiick!! But like pintoca said, if you'll post you're weight and body fat percentage, some of us could help you calculate your exact caloric needs to maintain or grow your lean body mass while keeping off or reducing the fat. from looking at your new avatar, I'm wondering what you're trying to lose, but I guess everyone has their own ideal image for themselves.
Again don't stay on those low calories for long.
