Are you serious????
Okay, so now it’s been about two weeks and I haven’t lost a pound. In fact, I’ve gained a pound. Yet I’ve continued to eat a vegetable-based diet, and eat in the 1200-1400 calorie range. What’s going on? It’s hard to maintain a strict diet when you’re not seeing results. I’ve missed about 4 days of yoga (before I was going 6 times a week…), and now I feel that it’s getting harder and harder to stick to my diet. Even though I’ve been slipping a little, it’s still not enough to not be losing (and especially not enough to be gaining). Is this the said “plateau”? Bikram yoga is an hour and a half of intense calorie-burning, sweat-inducing balancing acts. And 1200 calories of mostly vegetables has to about as good as it gets. So I’m puzzled. And discouraged. And being discouraged makes me want to eat pie. Specifically, the apple pie my mom is baking.

Maybe the weight is not going down but have you measured yourself?? You know muscle ways more than fat. With doing yoga it is safe to say your muscle is building. DON’T give up!! Keep your chin high and a smile on your face!! PS…I want some pie too!!!
My thought is maybe the muscle gain! I also have another thought too! I wonder if you are really eating enough to sustain weight loss ? Sometimes you do have to eat to lose. I am just wondering if your body is keeping the weight on because it thinks it’s in starvation mode? I am not saying that you should pig out by no means but maybe asking your doctor about how many calories you should be eating for your weight is warranted! Don’t give up you just have to find your niche!Hugs, Kimmi
My experience with veganism and weight loss is not good. If you find yourself gaining for no reason, please research the effects of soy on some bodies. Not everyone has success with it though there are plenty who do.
Because I do feel best eating vegetarian I am always trying to find protein rich foods. I still think oatmeal and quinoa are rocking when it comes to protein. Superstars! What other goodies do you eat with good protein? Teach me, please!
