Can I eat barley? I am trying to lose 20 lbs.?!
Question: I don't think I am eating a lot, but the weight doesn't seem to be dropping. This is what I usually eat,
morning, 1 bow of oatmeal
Lunch, 1 bow of barley+1 carrot, tiny tiny little slim pork
dinner, 1 bow of barley, and veg. soup.
I jog about 90 minutes every day. I have been doing this for two weeks now. It doesn't seem to be working. I don't feel any lighter, what did I do wrong?

Try to get equal amounts of you vitamins
For example try to get Vitamin C naturally by eating an orange or a tangerine, if you don't have any, go with Orange Juice (Get the pulp brand its MUCH healthier)
To get your Proteins try eating any meat besides Beef or anything Fried. Tuna and Chicken are good examples.
Vitamin D and Pottasium are very essentail for Bone and Muscle Growth and can help the muscles tone up after a workout- These can be found in Bannanas, Dark Cabbage, Milk, Broccolli
Fiber is a very good way to lose weight although I reccomend exercise as well. Try to get 10-15 grams of Fiber daily, replace your bread with Whole grain bread, eat cauliflower or broccolli, and basically eat any dark green vegetable.
As for the workout routine, try to do 30-45 minutes of Cardio (running or jogging),
Yoga is a good way to help relieve stress and maintain oxygen levels to help enhance a workout
Try doing Muscular Fitnesses cause Muscle Burns fat, try Sit-ups or Pushups as these can be done manually without a gym member ship or a machine.
NO PILLS
Achieve weight lose the right and healthy way through exercise and Diet. No sweets or Candies and try to get in 1 gallon of water everyday to flush your system of toxins..Happy Holidays.
The reason why your weight isn't moving is because you aren't eating enough!!!
You should consume a MINIMUM of 1200 calories daily! It sounds as though your body is in starvation mode, and it's storing whatever food you give it as fat.
If you're hoping to lose weight, then you should consume a minimum of 1200 calories (eating proteins, veggies, fruits, grains, and enough dairy products), drink at least 8 glasses of water daily, and try doing 45-60 minutes of cardio only 4-5 times a week!
your not eating enough....thats whats going on your body is in starvation mode and its storing, trying to survive..... try eating every 2-3 hrs....you dont have to eat a huge meal but maybe a bowl of soup and a salad with some milk.... later on eat a some fruit and nuts.... eat when your hungry and stop eating what your full ...not stuffed.....
Add some weight training to your program. Muslce burns fat for energy. There seems to be very little protein in your diet.
Lean chicken and fish are good sources. Do you snack during the day? drink sodas?
depending on your age, your height and your actual physical activity, you just may be eating way to little, your body will adjust the amount of calories it needs to SURVIVE and if you lower the amount of calories the way you have, you mind thinks your starving and now you can actually gain weight on very little calories..
so increase the amount of food to around 1000 calories and exercise two to three times a day for at least 30 minutes, and drink at least 8 cold glasses of water a day
good luck
