PM--
If you can see a bonafide nutritionist/dietician recommended to you by a physician, then I would do that too...
You need to make sure you have a BALANCED diet... Low in fat AND low in carbs... And you need to eat the correct things for your body. Find out what your body craves--sweets or fats... Based on that info, you can adjust your diet accordingly to correct for your workouts... Moreover, cardio is not the only way to correct for weight, you must also do it with weight toning. And muscle weighs more than fat. You will first build muscle before you lose fat. Once you build enough muscle, then the fat starts to come off.
And depending on the length of time you've been overweight, it will take you a lot of time--like years--to get that weight off... The sad part about gaining weight that it is quick to gain, but slow to come off...
And alot can be said about eating HEALTHY foods--the veggies like leafy green lettuces with mixed greens, cucumbers, peppers, broccoli if you can handle it along with fiber...
And some folks think that your "poops" need to be "frequent"--not diarrhetic--but like 2 per day... That is "roughly" ONE sign of how you can tell you are beginning to lose the fat... If you are all clogged up, that stuff stays in your bowel and bloats you out... That is why ab exercises are VERY useful in "relief"...
I say if you are consistent with your exercises and your eating habits and you haven't lost weight--and I mean you aren't aiming for a size 1 and anorexia--then that suggests your body has reach its "rheostat" for just about as much weight it can lose without going into "haywire" mode--where you'd get sick all the time for whatever...
However, if you are gobbling food up and cannot control yourself, you have other issues that need the help from your physician. A satiation problem is a whole nother issue that is realistically addressed by researchers... You cannot stop mice from eating kinna thing--you can only manipulate their caloric intake of their feed...
