For all you diet gurus out there

[madmisskelly]

I work out every day, eat really healthy. I weigh all my food, have small portions, and eat no added sugar, no dairy, and nothing with flour in it ( I do take a vitamin supplement though). Every other day I do an hour of cardio, and on alternate days I do a half hour of cardio and weight lifting.

Anywho, I'm at 129/130 and I want to get to 120/125. I was wondering if eating tilapia every night for dinner for a week or two will help me break 130 and help me lose a few pounds. I know it won't make me lose all ten that I want to, but I'm wondering if it will make a difference. The plan I'm on has me eating 4 oz of protein per meal so does it really make a difference if its from tilapia, turkey, or chicken?

I'm not familiar with tilapia besides it's in the fish family.

I would stick with the chicken. How about a 3 egg omelet with only one yoke? Just to mix things up.

Are you taking any other supplements?

I guess my question to you would be how are your clothes fitting?

My clothes are fitting fantastic, I'm a size 2 jean. I don't have a ton of fat to lose, and I am trying to tone as I do it. I'm already on a specific eating plan though in terms of my meals.

breakfast- 8oz nonfat plain yogurt, 6oz fruit, 1oz oatmeal (before its cooked)

lunch- 4oz cooked protein, 6oz veggies, 6oz fruit

dinner- 8oz salad, 6oz veggies, 4oz cooked protein

I do eat chicken, beef, turkey, fish, some pork now and again. the tilapia woudnt be perminant, just a temp thing. I've plateud atm

I'll contact him again but meal 4 does show fish so I'm guessing that the tilapia would be a good substitute.

Your doing fantastic! A size 2 great!

How about adding some core exercises into your routine?

[madmisskelly]

I do, I do like 400 crunches, and 100 side crunches on each side every day.

ur sure eating protein is the best thing because protein builds muscle and muscle weighs more than fat

[madmisskelly]

I don't eat a ton of protein throughout the day. I want to build muscle and I want to tone. I won't get ripped or super muscly because I'm a girl and girls dont.

I eat 4 oz of protein for lunch, and 4 oz of protein for dinner.
