and lean protein, trying to keepmy calories between 1000-1300 per day. In addition I do cardio or jogging for 30min 5 times a week. How come I have not lost pounds OR inches? I also eat a gluten-free diet as celiac disease runs in my family and I have been diagnosed with a wheat sensitivity. What more can I do? This has been so frustrating.

Having recently gone from a size 12 to 4, I can honestly say the biggest changes that helped me accomplish this was eliminating red meat and dairy. Additionally, I stopped drinking fruit juice in the a.m. because the glycemic index for juice is high. Plus, I do not eat boxed cereal for breakfast. Again, the processed grains have a high glycemic index. Being gluten-free that is probably not an issue for you.
My exercise program is an hour daily, but that is not how I lost weight (I have been doing that program for 10 years). Nope, it was not until I eliminated animal fat and lowered my glycemic load that I really lost the weight.
Check out my latest article about Dinner. And stay tuned for more information from me on this site about other healthy additions and substitutions for your nutrition.
