Question:
For the past 2 weeks my weight has gone up, and now down - by 400 grams. I weigh once a week, and can't feel a difference in my clothes. I've got 12 kg's to lose. The eating plan below is to lose weight - when I'm in maintenance mode I will increase it, to when I am in maintenance mode. Cheat: Last week 2 Tennis biscuits, last night, one (homemade) hotdog.
Please advise:
08:00 - 100 g bulgarian yoghurt
11:00 - 2 fruit
13:00 - 120 g salad, 120 g veggies, 100 chicken / steak or fish
15:00 - 1 fruit
18:00 - 120 g salad, 120 g veggies, 100 chicken / steak or fish
To drink throughout the day - million, okay, ± 20 glasses of water, green tea, rooibos, cup of coffee on some mornings.
Exercise:
3 times a week - Strength training - half hour
3 times a week - Tae Bo - 1 hour
Thanks in advance.

Losing weight is most definitely a matter of time....it took time to gain the weight and it will take time to get rid of it. That said, I'm not sure you're eating enough, any idea how many calories you are consuming?
I have no idea what a tennis biscuit is, I'm a Brit, so some of the stuff is just a mind boggle as our lingo would be to you and others. 400g is that about 1 lb, if so that's a good start.
Are you able to do a bit more strength training, such as 45 minutes, it will give the body a bit more of a boost than 30 minutes and you may not motice the extra time since it's so short.
Remember when doing weights that you may gain muscle and that means the body somposition may change without much/or lots of change in weight, there will be some but muscle gain will off-set fat loss weight on the scales. Try using a tape measure and taking notes of waist, hips, bust, and then compare them in a few weeks.
