Hi all,

I'm 26 male, 5' 4" tall, 153 pounds..
I have a 32" waist.

I'm from the UK by the way.

In Jan, I was around 160 pounds and had a 34-5" inch waist

So, since then I've lost 7 pounds and about 2-3" off my waist.

I did this by reading a book called the Abs Diet, published by Men's Health.
Its pretty good, but I haven't stuck to it religiously.

All of the content of the book seems good advice, similar to the advice given on this site.


Now, I really dont know how much fat I've actually lost because I have gained muscle in the process. So the weight figures may be a bit misleading.

Although I am making progress, I keep thinking that its not very fast. what do you think.

My goal is to get this damn tire off my waist so I can see my abs, and to get some larger muscles on my body as a whole.


Please take a look at a sample day below, and let me know your thoughts/advice.

Thanks,
sanc

Also, on Fridays or Saturdays I do like to have a couple of beers before dinner. (naughty boy)
(Do you think this may be contributing my concerns about slow progress?)

I would only have the bread for breakfast. No need for the bread again at 10. Maybe just have a a spoon full of peanut butter without the bread. You are also haveing a sandwich for lunch. Again Try to do without the roll or bread. Just have a chicken salad or tuna salad or egg salad with some veggies.
 
You have a really good, clean diet plan.

As Hubcap said, perhaps a little too much bread - it's quite processed, so I would suggest substituting another carb - sweet potatoes, brown rice, oatmeal, etc. You might also consider adding protein to your two snacks - having protein with each meal is a great metabolism-booster.

And definitely cut down on the beer
 
OK thanks guys.

you know, its funny.. that was the first time I actually wrote down everything that I eat, and it was then I realised even myself that I'm having a bit too much bread..

Anyways, thanks for the advice. I'll cut down on the booze as well, and pad up the protein in the snacks..
