Hard time losing weight?

You do NOT need carbs!! that's SUCH a myth!! I hate when people act like they know about nutrition (I don't mean you, I mean those OTHER people and then we start believing them and then we can't loose weight, because we're listening to them about how we should eat carbs.... sorry for ranting, but really carbs are NOT important!! (I'm a nutritionist) there's actually even an acid in whole grains called Phytic acid (you can google it if you want). this acid doesn't let you absorb zinc - something you NEED for your body. a deficiency in zinc causes alot of health problems... anyways, what you do need to eat is mostly greens and vegetables with lean protein throughout the day. 1-2 fruits a day (no more and no less than that). 1 tablespoon HEALTHY oil (whether it's in your salad or whatever... just a little, but you do need it. coconut oil has been said to be the best oil to eat for weight loss). 3 nuts a day (NO MORE than that, though. nuts are high in calories, but nutritious.). always count calories. Last but not least: vitamin B12 helps with weight loss!! (you can google it for more info). If you're low in B12, loosing weight is possible, but just much more harder to achieve. you can always get your vitamin B12 (and any other nutrient you want) checked at the doctor's. the doc or nurse will take a blood test to see if you lack any of them. Food cravings are usually associated with a lack of certain nutrients (it's your body's way of telling you that you're deficient in a vitamin or mineral and it's trying to "find" that missing nutrient, giving you a food craving... also, if you don't drink enough water, you get food cravings (often our bodies have a hard time differentiating between thirst and hunger. so you might be thirsty, when you think you are hungry. keep that in mind.
