Quoting Venus Penis Trap.™:" I'm trying this new diet where I only eat fruits and vegetables with one meat product a day. No junk ... [snip!] ... this morning I had yogurt and a banana, and I'm starving.   but I will do anything to lose 20 pounds, except starve myself.."

eat more fruit or something.
because starving is just going to make you NOT lose weight.

It's good to have breakfast the most filling meal, it's your fuel for the entire day.

That is not a sustainable diet at all.

You can eat healthy without cutting out everything.

Are you also exercising?

Try eating something with carbs for breakfast too. It'll fill you up more and give you energy throughout the day. Don't starve yourself. You won't lose weight that way.


ETA: I lost 20 pounds before I got pregnant and I didn't cut a lot out of my diet. I just ate a bit healthier, portioned myself better, and exercised.

Yes, I walk on a treadmill for 30 minutes I do push ups, sit ups, squats and some yoga.

Try eating lots of lean protein. Egg whites baked or grilles chicken tilapia. You won't loose weight eating a ton of fruit. Try 2 fruits all the veggies you want and all the lean protein you want and maybe 2 servings of fat free yogurt a day. You will loose weight fast. And can Jeep it off by just eating healthy.

I'm not starving myself I even said that in the OP! I'm just eating fruits and vegetables when I get hungry instead of junk and we usually have a lot of meats and grains for dinner.

Then this diet definitely isn't going to work.

You aren't consuming enough calories to meet your daily needs, and everything you put in your mouth will be held onto by your body because it will feel like it needs to build it's fat stores.

Try using something like My Fitness Pal....it's very eye opening.

I've tried using it before, didn't really like it.

Okay.

How many calories are you consuming in a day?

I know you said you weren't starving yourself, but you also said you only at yogurt and a banana and you were still hungry... Eat more for breakfast and you won't feel so hungry. Like a piece of toast with almond butter or something. You'll get some carbs and protein and that'll help with hunger and energy.
Just giving some advice. Good luck with your diet.

No idea, haven't been keeping track. I've been on the move a lot and been eating fast food..   So no more of that.

This is a general plate breakdown for each meal, to show you how much and what you should be eating at each meal. A yogurt and a banana don't cut it.

Toast and almond butter sounds delicious. I'll have to go pick up some of that!
