No weight loss...am I doing something wrong?

[albs75]

Today is day 11 and I havn't lost a pound. I am on a heavy duty course of antibiotics and it is TOM but I still would think I would lose something.

This is what I ate yesterday:

Breakfast: 2 eggs, 2 oz cheese, 1 cup of greens with home made dressing (vin, olive oil, mustard)

Lunch: 2 oz cheese, 2 oz ham, 1 cup of greens with same home made dressing.

Afternoon snack: 1 veg "puffer". (120 cal, 7 grams carb 1 gram fiber) with butter. I checked the ingredients and there isn't any sugar but it does list potatos (not a main ingredient). I won't eat these any more.

Dinner: Pork chop braised in chicken broth and herbs. With cream added at the end. 1 cup cooked spinach.

I drank 4.5 L of water and was still thirsty.
I had one cup of coffee in the morning with cream and splendra.
I also had 1 cup of "wild berry zingger" tea with splendra after dinner.

Thanks for the help!

Couple of things that stood out to me. The puffer with potatoes, which you already said you're not going to eat again. The berry tea is a no-no until you get to rung 4, and caffine is known to stall weightloss, so you might want to consider ditching the coffee.

Change those things in your diet, wait for TOM and medications to end, and then check your results again. You might be suprised how much things will change. Also, take measurements, because the scale doesn't always tell the true story.

Good luck!

What is your calorie intake? Looks a little low to me.

albs, if you have yeast overgrowth, the vinegar is a no-no too. Vinegar changes the PH in the gut, creating a better environment for yeast to grow.

Lemon might be a better choice than the vinegar. Or, mayo with spices. Lots of cheese and dairy products in your menu...something to watch out for.

Don't underestimate antibiotics and TOM. Either one can slow or stop weight loss and cause fluctuations. Once you are off both, track your weight loss.
