I have just been reading a bit about what all you folks are eating and i think I am eating way too much. I would like some comments to my average day please.

Brekkie- a whey based smoothie with yogart and berries added and ground flaxseed.

lunch Large piece of white fish and decent helping of two different veggies.

afternoon- a banana

dinner. Omlette with three eggs and added mushrooms Tomato or other veg.

I was banded on november 3rd 08 and have lost 26kgs. Down from151kgsto 126 Kgs

I eat for health more than weight loss as i figure the two go together. But i do eat very well.

Shoukld i stick with what i am doing even though my loss is not rapidand is less than it could be My BMI is 41.:ohmy:

You know I reckon really fast weight loss is overrated, although it would be nice!

26kg in that time is great going. Its steady and likely to be fat rather than muscle, Water and fat. Its better for your health, you give your skin a better chance of keeping up and by eating so well you are helping to ensure you lose fat and keep your muscle.

I think your diet looks really healthy and not too much at all as long as you're not eating to discomfort - you've got plenty of Protein in a few different forms, some fruit, a few different vegies and no processed carbs - GREAT going!. By eating so sensibly, you cut cravings, you're getting what you need etc. If you want to speed things up from here, exercise is the way to do it. A bit of high intensity cardio interval training, for example, really helps with fat loss.
