Losing 2kg in a month is good. Slow and steady is usually the best way to lose. It will depend on how much you have to lose too. That breakfast would keep me going until at least 1-2pm! I hope you're putting lots of veges in there too! Keep an eye on your total calorie intake as well.

exercise 3 kids! lol - veges - i would have though broc/cauli/mushrooms/ bokchoy/cauli/broc/spinach in the soups would be enough! I have 12kg to loose - have lost 16kgs this way before just had a couple of babies so need to get it back off - 2kgs a month is not good if you ask me lol
eta: I know that breakfast used to keep me going easily till 2pm dont know why not this time!

With minimal exercise 2kg sounds about right. Losing weight after all is about output as well as input. Going for runs first thing in the morning before breakfast will help elevate your metabolism.

Your body may have changed after having 2 babies. Also run your figures through Myfitnesspal or Fitday just to see that the calorie count isn't too high. Most nutritionists would recommend 2kg weightless goals for a month. Maybe also put the scales away for a month and focus on health. Scales watching can become a big downer.

Yeah, too many fats in that diet as well, the cheese and the coconut oil need to go.

If you loose it too fast you'll just put it back on anyway.I'd limit the cheese and coconut oil.Coconut unlike almonds etc is saturated fat, not really the good kind.
You have to exercise, it's amazing how much better and motivated you will feel.It's lifts your mood and when you're moods up you feel stronger and more in control.
Best of luck.

kkmm3 - if you are a member on the low carb website (and I think you might be!), we can continue this conversation over there with people who understand what and how you're trying to achieve through managing carbs. My apologies if you're not who I think you might be. ;-)

I dont agree with cutting out the coconut oil, Its high in omega 3 and 6. I really good for you. You can still eat carbs, just make sure they are the complex kind. Kumara, brown rice and rolled oats. Just eat them early in the day so you burn them off. Thats what I do.

If you are cooking bacon and eggs for breakfast, surely you don't need the coconut oil, there is enough fat coming out the bacon to cook everything.Try adding tomatoes as well.(I know really expensive at the moment) I find if I have bacon and eggs for breakfast, it does keep me going well into the afternoon.I have also just cooked up a big pot of pumpkin soup which is really filling for lunch, along with a few slices of cheese.Two kilos a month is still good.
