It really is important to ensure you are taking in the right amount of calories for healthy and sustainable weight loss. A woman should be eating no less than 1100 calories per day, any less then this can be un-healthy. If a woman was to eat less than 1100 calories every day over a few weeks then your body can go into 'Starvation Mode' this is where your body starts to store more fat as it thinks it is not going to enough. So eating a few more calories daily spaced through-out the day seems to give the signal that "food is plentiful" don't store fat. Why don't you try adding back a few more calories into your day? See what happens... Drinking plenty of water stops you from retaining it. If you do not drink a lot of water the body thinks that this is because water is not available so it holds on to it. By giving it a constant supply you let it know that it doesn't need to. If you are exercising regularly you may be gaining a little muscle which weighs more than fat, so you may find that it helps to measure yourself as well as weighing yourself as a means of charting your progress. You need to make sure you are completing everything into your Food Diary. Weigh things to ensure you are inputting the correct amounts. Don't forget to include all drinks; water is the only thing without calories. If you stick to your calorie quota you will lose weight. Women can fluctuate with weightloss for several reasons despite following the plan. This can be due to hormones, menstruation and water retention. The most important thing is to stick with it. Try to incorporate exercise into your routine and the weight loss will come. It may be a good idea to check your activity level is set correctly, as this makes a difference to your calorie quota. Are you on your feet most of the day? If so then your activity level should be set to moderately active (which would mean you need, and are allocated, more calories). It may also be a good idea to change your goal. If you're on a loss of 2 lb/week, try setting to 1 lb per week (which will give you more calories a day) while you start off, but will be easier to cope with - setting smaller more achievable goals is sometimes the best way to go. Once you are feeling a little more energetic, try to get a bit of extra activity in, the program has worked out a calorie quota for you to lose at the rate chosen and extra exercise you burn (over and above that taken into account when deciding your activity level) should be entered into your exercise dairy. The extra calories you have burned by doing this activity will then be added to you calorie quota for that day. You can eat these additional calories with confidence as you will still have a balance of energy in versus energy out that will enable you to reach the goal you have set. In fact, your body will need them to re-fuel, and ensure you do not get tired out as you are. It might also be a good idea to eat foodstuffs rich in slow release energy such as bananas, wholegrains vegetables, as these will satisfy you but also keep you feeling full of energy for longer.
