I think I finally got this being a pescatarian thing down. I began in June and was upset because I gained weight. In my previous post I discussed my workout routine. I was able to follow it last week and as a result lost 4 lbs!
The working out helped but the good news that I received from a vitamin shoppe employee was what helped me jump start my metabolism.
She said that I was not getting enough protein and that's why my body was holding onto the fat. She suggested that I up my protein with shakes and high protein meals. I went to the market and bought milk, cheese, eggs, nuts and soy products.
She told me that seafood was not nearly enough protien. I eat seafood a few times a week but I have other forms of protein daily now. With each meal, I make sure that it has some form of protein in it. When I'm crunched for time I grab a protein shake.
She assured me that if I lifted weights and did resistance cardio ( cross ramp and the treadmill on incline ) that I would loose fat and become lean.
Next week I hope to loose around 3 lbs.
Current weight 141lbs.
Goal Weight 132 lbs ( I think lol )
Here's a few protein boosters that I've added to my diet on a more regular basis.
Milk
Cheese
Nuts
Garden Burgers and Veggie Sausage
Protein Shakes and Bars
and of Course Seafood!
