losing weigh

Hi Atomic,
Question - i started to go vegetarian about a month ago and 60 min walking/running and my weight flew off - lost ~ 5lbs (about 115lb, petite in height) now. I don't have too much more weigh to lose maybe another 3-4lbs and was thinking of TTC in June. I want to continue to do cardo 6x/week at 60min. Anything to curb the weigh lose? Maybe continue vegetarian diet but incorporate some beans and things? I eat tofu, seitan and other things so protein should be ok. And I drink coco water so potassium is ok. (I just ate a brownie!) Thoughts?

For me, every time weight flies off while exercising, it means I need to count my calories. You can totally exercise and still get the benefits from it, without losing weight.

I would make sure you are getting 1600-1800 calories, fat 30-50g, and protein 40-50g. Also, if you're only eating twice a day, you may need to add another small meal somewhere to maintain your weight. You will probably only need to track for a few days before you get the hang of where you need to be.

Great job! You're doing fantastic- keep up the good work!!

I would up cals to 2000 but not increase fat or protein. If you end up gaining weight at 2000cals you can always decrease them later.

Up cals till weight loss stops. don't worry about protein and fat, it's carbs carbs carbs to keep weight on.
