I exercise 2hours a day and eat only slalds and fruit. Yet im not losing weight, Why?
Whenn i exercise my heart rate is at 150 to 165 and i exercise 6 days a week. I don't eat full fat anything and am constantly watching what i eat. I usually eat fruit for breakfast, salad (no cheese no dressing) for lunch, apple for a snack and for dinner usually salad with chicken or egg whites.
By eating a very low calorie diet, and exercising too much, your body has gone into starvation mode. It will hold on to every calorie it can, because it doesn't think any more is coming. Your diet is not well balanced, and 2 hours a day of high exercise is dangerous.
I suggest adding some high fiber grains, such as oatmeal or raisin bran to your breakfast, and a bit of cheese or protein as well as a small amount of fat (dressing) to lunch. Dinner sounds OK. Carbohydrates are not the enemy, and fat, taken in moderation, is actually beneficial. Too little protein can adversely affect you, and your body needs it to stay healthy.
Try exercising less. Start with a half hour, work up to an hour. Any more can be harmful. Losing weight issimple math. Calories in equals calories expended, you stay the same weight. More in than expended, you gain, less in than expended, you lose! Count calories, eat healthy (a well balanced meal means you won't get hungry as fast, so less chance of binging!) and MODERATE exercise.

You probably need some more protein, like a protein drink for breakfast or beans and rice combo wrap with a whole egg scrambled into it. One whole egg a week is a great protein among other things the yolk provides. You need a snack about 10:30 am also. And introduce some strength training. You don't state your age. Weight bearing exercises are really great for 40+ to lose weight. If it is not working, find a personal trainer and go for a couple of times so you get some good professional advice.

Hi,
I'm Shelby Dalton. The problem is that you are not getting the right kinds of foods in you. Although you eat fruits and veggies and they are good for you, you need meat for the protein. You see, protein is what makes you lose weight easier for you according to Herbal Life. If you go on to their website, you'll see what I mean. Good luck
.
Sincerly Yours,
Shelby Dalton
