Help With Diet Plan

I have been using a combination of plans for my diet. So far in 4 weeks I have lost 12 lbs. But I think I’m missing something. The trainer at the gym says I need to eat something every 3 hours to keep my metabolism up, but I can’t find any snack foods that comply with my program. I start on Sunday by eating off the menu from the Sugarbusters Diet. It is a diabetic style diet used to keep my glycemic levels low. This also keeps my leptin levels up.

On Monday, I fast, eat nothing, well, I do have 2 whey protein shakes with almond milk during the day, but thats it. Tuesdday-Saturday I follow the Green Faces Diet and there lies my problem. I eat 3 meals on the GF diet but can’t figure what to snack on between meals. I just need to tweak a little more and maybe next time I do this program I can lose more than 12 lbs. Any suggestions?

Keep doing whatever works. 12 pounds in 2 2eeks is good. Why tweak it? You might completely stall out on this type of plan though if you are not eating enough. Then again, 12 pounds in 2 weeks could, and most likely is 2/3 water weight. If you need more info, just ask or read some of the other nutrition articles on this site.

Your trainer is wrong here.

Training and simply eating enough throughout the day will keep your metabolism on track.
