We are getting in to the half way mark and going strong. 3 weeks down!
If you are in a calorie deficit you will probably be hungry most of the time. This is a good sign but it is important that you manage your cravings to stay on track.
Make sure that you focus on consuming protein and ensure that you are hitting your daily goal every day. Pair your protein with a bunch of low calorie, fibrous vegetables and legumes e.g. lentils as this will help with keeping you satiated.
For snacks I recommend making things like corn thins with cottage cheese, avocado and tomato. Try to avoid high calorie, highly processed foods as they won't satisfy you and will use up your calorie budget. If you are trying to gain weight you may need to add a small amount of calorie dense foods or use things like olive or coconut oil to bump up fats and calories.
IMPORTANT: Recommended calorie consumption varies greatly between individuals. If you are not consuming enough food your body will stop losing weight and your metabolism will slow down substantially. If you are eating less than 1400 kcal per day it would be wise to consult with a trained dietitian / nutritionist.
1/ Monitor weight gain or loss and adjust calories if required. 2/ Make sure you are consuming enough protein. 3/ Stay consistent with your exercise and diet. 4/ Weigh Yourself Daily
