Q: Dear Dr. Peeke,
I started the DISCOVERY HEALTH NATIONAL BODY CHALLENGE right on track with everyone else, and I make it to the gym 4-5 times a week, lifting weights for about 30 minutes, and running for about 25. I've tried to cut out bad foods, and have been doing okay with that too. So, why aren't I losing any weight? I might drop a pound, but that comes back after a day or two. Help!

Confused and frustrated,
Jennifer

A: Hello, Jennifer. Congrats on joining the National Body Challenge. Let's help you with your frustration. First, you need to burn 400 calories per day doing cardio no less than 5 days a week. That means if you ramp up the intensity, you can burn those calories in about 30 minutes. You should be lifting weights 2 x week in a 45 min session at the gym. That's in addition to the cardio. Again, make sure to add what I call "Vitamin I", or Intensity to both your cardio as well as weight training. Next, you've done a great job of addressing the quality of food issue. Now, you need to rein in the quantity. Grab a simple spiral bound note pad and keep a food record for at least a week. It'll be an eye opener. You never really know how much you're eating until you see it on paper. Keep your dinners light by eating a mound of veggies along with 3-4 oz of protein, but keep the starch out of there 5 nights of the week. It'll bloat you and most women overeat it, especially at night. Wake up feeling good and hungry and ready to start the day. Good luck!
