Help... trying to lose weight..and its not working?

Im trying to lose weight, but exercise and eating heathy doesnt seem to help. Until recently i was riding to work (10kms) in the morning, and having salad sandwidges on 'health' bread...
even doing this, i still didnt even lose 1kg.I only stopped this because i tore a ligiment in my ankle...Should I use herbal stuff to help?Any suggestions on what i should try would be appreciated
Answer:
join the club, the older you get the harder it is
try harder and stop counting the days, just get out there and enjoy your health
Just reduce carbohydrates (like bread) and keep exercising
try to eat food that your body burn quickly like fish chichen
salads avoid pastas red meats and try some herbals also
Use red act, it is quite helpful!
It may well be that exercising is increasing your muscle mass
whilst decreasing your body fat,this can result in no weight loss or even sometimes a slight weight gain initially as muscle is more dense than fat and therefore weighs more in proportion,don't get too hung up about weight on it's own,keep a close eye on your body shape and how you feel physically as well as your weight,persevere your health,fitness and weight will improve
with time.
Losing weight takes time. If it took you ___?years to gain the weight, then it's going to take that long to lose the weight. No quick fixes really last for long. Exercising more than you consume in calories will cause you to lose weight. It's not rocket science--simple physics. If you keep a regime, YOU WILL LOSE weight. It may take a year or two, however, to get fit. Don't give up.
I would eat a breakfast of eggs and toast and OJ. Lunch should be a decent protein with fruit, and glass of whole milk.
Salads are so high in calories and fat, it's not a very good diet food unless you eat it plain. (yuck) For dinners, choose tofu or tuna or fish instead of meat, veggies like spinach (high in b and a vitamins) or cantaloupe, and veggies. Milk. Try to stay away from white breads, processed foods (fast foods I mean), and all sodas. Beer is very fattening if you drink, but better for you than liquor.Meat is VERY high in bad fat-about 30% of it is fat. And when you eat fat it takes zero calories to convert it TO FAT! So you stay fat.
If I were you, I'd check out Bruce Lee's fitness book. He gives great exercise advice (he looks fantastic) and has some ground breaking nutrition advice too.good luck...
I would start by cutting back on white carbs-sugar, rice, potatoes, and anything made with white flour like breads, pasta, cakes, cookies, crackers, etc. Next, take your body weight and divide it in half. Drink that many ounces in water per day. e.g. if you weigh 140 pounds, drink 70 ounces of water per day. Weight training will also help because as you increase your lean muscle, you will rev up your metabolism and you will burn more fat. Also, try not to eat anything 4 hours before bedtime. If you just have to have a nightime snack, try something low in calories. I used to have sugar free jello with a little fat free cool whip.good luck
I had the same problem a couple years ago..Maybe you can try something more fun (physical of course), something that you really enjoy so you can spend hours doing it..For me it was dancing on the Dance Dance play station game..And keep up the healthy food diet, reduce carbohydrates, reduce sugar, reduce meat, don't drink soda, just drink plain mineral water.
Green tea might help, but don't put sugar on it.
No late night meals, no chips or crackers, no cakes, no candies. If you like chocolate, eat DARK chocolate only, but try not to often.
Try to eat only fruits and vegetables (no meat/bread/rice/pasta) for dinner once in a couple days, you'll start to get used to it and then you can do it everyday. Reduce meats, find other source of proteins such as tofu (if you like it), or at least eat white meat only.Use stairs instead of elevators. Sounds too hard to do? well, take one step at a time, you don't have to do ALL this rightaway, for a start try doing this once in 2 or 3 days for example, you'll start to get used to it and you'll be enjoying doing this everyday.
If you force to do all this at once, your mind will fight really hard, your appetite will raise like crazy in just a couple days, your diet will blow up and you might even gain more weight.If you have some extra money, maybe you can try using personal trainers on fitness centers or go see a nutrition specialist.
stick to high protein diet. cut out carbohydrate. finally snack only on strawberry yogurt, raisins, apples and raw nuts (unsalted almonds %26 walnuts).
Exercise everyday like jogging around the block
Skip meals. Eat 2 times per day than 3 times per day
Dont eat until you're full
Eat fruits at night if your hungry.
Drinks lots of water and stop all the fast food and chocolate.
