One thing you might want to try is to cycle your carbs and possibly even dump or cut back on the rice/pasta if you're having them daily. There have been several posts in the last couple of days ref cardio and the opinions are all valid although different. Personally, when I'm wanting to lose weight, I go higher protein/fat (good fats) for 3 or four days then eat "normally" with my carbs consisting of sweet potato, brocolli and green leafy veg's like spinach. I also do very little aerobic type exercise except circuit workouts. Only you know your body type/health but I'm curious as to whether you limit your workouts to upper body due to doctors advice. Your lower body fitness has an awful lot to do with your total body fitness.

I agree with Mike. I was going to write the same thing about the rice and pasta.
Also if you must eat it, try not to have it after 4pm.
Substitute it with more veggies, or sweet potatoes.
Personaly I don't touch rice bread.
You might also want to try and fool your body and switch the routines around.
Sounds like your doing well! Keep up the good work!
