not losing wieght

Question
Hello,

In the past month I have been eating a lot more whole grains, vegetables, fruits and healthy fats. I have also worked taebo into my exercise routine. (I never officially exersised before) Although I've made all of these healthy changes, my body is not changing with it. I've lost one measley pound in an entire month of being consistant. (I've been doing taebo for 4-5 days out of the week) I figured I would lose at least one pound a week, but this hasn't been the case. What am I doing wrong? I feel so discouraged. I'm doing everything the experts suggest and there is still no results. Any help you might have I would greatly appreciate. Thank you.

Answer
Kristina,
I can only take a few guesses as to what the problem might be.  I really cannot give you specifics unless I am working with you one-on-one and know specifically what you are doing, eating, etc...
First it could be that you are gaining muscle and losing fat.  You would see this if you were losing inches but not necessarily pounds.  
Second you could be eating healthy but still be eating too many calories to lose weight.  OR you could be eating too few calories and slowing your metabolism.
Thirdly it could always be a medical issue such as a thyroid problem.  If you suspect something of this nature you should see your doctor for a thorough health check-up.

Like I said, since I don't know specifics of what your diet is I can't make any personal recommendations.  I DO offer online services where I could help you more one-on-one.  I can do a computerized analysis of a 3-day food diary with specific recommendations if you were interested.  I also offer email consultations, etc...  Check out my web site at www.Nutrifocus.net.
Good luck,
