Question I really need your help. I'm a 61 year
old male, 5-11", who's ballooned to 260 pounds,
mainly from lack of exercise and eating all the
wrong foods.
For the past 50 days, I have been extremely
diligent about watching calories, eating nothing
white whatsoever, no oils (except some olive oil),
no sweets at all. I am trying to keep my calorie
intake under 1200 a day, eating only whole grain
products, salmon, canned tuna in water, fresh raw
spinach, no-fat dressing, tomatoes, blueberries,
2-4 cups of green tea a day, oatmeal, an
occasional egg, a cup or two of 1% milk, 1-2
ounces of vodka a day...NOTHING bad! I am taking
one Turmeric capsule (600 mg/day).
For the past 50 days, every day, I've been
walking between 4-5 miles every morning at a pace
of about 4 miles/hour, sometimes adding a jog of
1/2 - 1 mile.
My problem is this: I am not seeing hardly ANY
improvement in my body shape. Old clothes still
don't fit, etc.
I'm beginning to get really discouraged after
all my physical and dietary work. Am I expecting
too much after 50 days? Your help would be so
greatly appreciated!
Thanks, Nick

AnswerAdd some weight training, and try to do a little more high-speed cardio. Walking is great for overall fitness, but to lose weight you really need to BURN calories.
