Advice on new eating plan & supps to lose weight

[angemonique]

Hi Guys

I’m just wanting a bit of advice on a new eating & supps plan I am starting to make sure I am getting a good amount of protein, vitamins/minerals etc I think it sounds ok but I don’t have enough knowledge in this area to be sure and don’t want to cause any unnecessary damage to health.
I work FIFO and am currently 66kg and have put on 10kg over the past 3 years. Admittedly I was on the thin side prior to the weight gain (56kg) so I am not wanting to get back to that weight but a loss of between 5-7kg would be great.
Working 12 hour days leaves little motivation to go to gym but I do try and get at least 30 mins on the bike every 2nd day and on 4 days off I go walking on the beach, bush walking etc.
So plan is:
Upon Waking @ 4am - EHPLabs OxyShred
Breakfast @ 7am – 3 hardboiled eggs with Braggs All Purpose Seasoning
Snack @ 9am – 1 piece fruit or yoghurt and almonds
Lunch @ 11am – Grilled Fish or Chicken and Green Vege
Snack @ 1pm – 1 piece fruit or yoghurt and almonds
Dinner @ 3pm (sometimes I don’t need this meal) – Small salad (sometimes with smoked salmon if the camp is feeling generous)
Snack @ 5pm – Maxines Burn Protein Powder (mixed with water)
Gym @ 6pm
Herbal Tea @ 7pm before bed
Drinks through the day are 3L water and a couple of green tea’s

I am not hungry using this eating plan, but am I missing out on any vital nutrients or minerals?? I take Vit B, C, Zinc Supplements and will start taking an iron supplement as well due to lack of red meat in diet.

Any advice you can provide would be great

Hi Ange good to talk to you.

Firstly I'm going to be honest and say you'd be better off ditching the Oxyshred. Those products are just complete rubbish and unless you had just carried on eating like you had been and doing however little or as much exercise as you were doing before, you'd never know what you're achieving with it as you're not isolating the effects and basically they're a total con, so you're better off just pitching out whatever you've got left

As for the diet I'll make adjustments below

Breakfast @ 5am – 3 hardboiled eggs with Braggs All Purpose Seasoning

(I'd add more carbs in here as this meal is quite a bit low calories wise. You could include, as examples, a bowl of cereal, some fruit, some raw carrots, oat granolas, toast, or add a goodly quantity of peanuts and then remove an egg, as you'll get the protein and fat back easily from the peanuts, but also carbs as well, to kick start your bodies energy needs, blood sugar elevation and provide the brain with fuel.)

Snack @ 8am – 1 piece fruit or yoghurt and almonds

(I'd say combine all three)

Lunch @ 11am – Grilled Fish or Chicken and Green Vege

(Keep the veggies with either thing, as it looks like they only feature with the chicken, but otherwise that's fine)

Snack @ 1pm – 1 piece fruit or yoghurt and almonds

(Same as before; have all three)

Dinner @ 3pm (sometimes I don’t need this meal) – Small salad (sometimes with smoked salmon if the camp is feeling generous)

(I'd say have that meal at around 4PM)

Snack @ 5pm – Maxines Burn Protein Powder (mixed with water)

(Have that after the workout instead to help you recover)

Gym @ 6pm

Herbal Tea @ 7pm before bed

I take Vit B, C, Zinc Supplements and will start taking an iron supplement as well due to lack of red meat in diet.

(You can get quite a lot of iron from fish, chicken and grains, so I wouldn't consider the iron supplement just yet.)
