Low-fat eating and weight loss


Question
Hi Tanya,

Let me tell you a bit about myself to see if you can help me find the reason why i find it so difficult to loose weight!

So ...it's been a year now that I've been trying to loose weight. I'm 28 years old, 1.7m height and currently 66kg. I have started going to the gym, fixed my nutrition (was actually under-eating beforehand) and made any possible change in order to reduce by BF% from 28% to something lower together with loosing a couple of kilos.
I initially gained some weight (around 2-2.5 kg) which i suppose was because i started eating normal again (from around 800 kcals/day to around 1400 kcals/day which is my resting metabolic rate). From around December, i have stopped gaining but don't seem to be able to either loose weight or lower my BF%.

A typical week of training is:
- Mon-Wed-Fri: intense whole body circuit workout (40-50mins)
- Tue: 40min swimming
- Thu: 40 min interval cardio
- Sat: rest
- Sun: 45-60 min steady-state cardio

A typical daily food intake:
8am: low-fat strain greek yogurt (love it! and is also high in protein) + 2tbsp granola + 1tsp seeds
10am: small fruit+low fat cheese OR half wholemeal turkey sandwitch
(workout usually between 11:30-12:30)
1pm: bananna+whey shake OR 1/2bananna+whey shake with milk
2.30pm: tuna OR chicken and cottage cheese salad (spinach, greens, cabbage, carrot)
4.30pm: low-fat strain greek yogurt + 1tbsp seeds
7.30pm: omelet(2 egg white, 1 whole eg) and salad OR salmon and broad bean salad OR beef and peas casserole with salad
10.30pm: low-fat strain greek yogurt + 1tbsp seeds + 1tsp honey

I usually drink 1 coffee a day plus lots of tea!

All in all should be around 1500 kcal/day

So, after all of that i still can't loose any weight, nor loose inches or BF%. Where do you think all of this goes wrong? It is my nutrition, my exercise routine, both?

Any suggestions would help me a lot!
Thanks,
Anna

Answer
Hi Anna,

In my experience, your case is typical for a low-fat, high-carb dieter. Almost everybody switching to our Banta Diet lost weight and kept it off. The theory behind
cant be read at http://bantadiet.com and if you like what you read, you can start the plan. It costs you nothing.
