Default Re: How does my induction menu look?

The menu you posted there did not look like over 1200 calories. (but sometimes hard to say ). What would help you would be more meals. It looks like there is a very big gap between your meals there. Your body (which was programmed some time in prehistoric times) will draw the conclusion that if you are not eating, there is not enough food around. And if there is not around food around the body uses survival mechanisms to protect it self. One of them is to lower its own metabolism. We certainly do not want that when we are trying to lose weight. So we eat frequently (at least every 6 waken hour) and the body will be happy and think there is plenty food around - no need to stress and it can let go of access fat.
