I want to get myself back into shape and shed about 40 pounds of weight in the process (my total weight now is 220 pounds, I look OK with it, because I'm tall, but the flab's gotta go). I normally jog 30 minutes a day, that takes me about 2 to 3 miles along a quiet waterfront. I read once that the best training effect is reached between 30 and 40 minutes, and that it's pointless to over-exert yourself by going so hard you lose your breath, so I don't.
But things are somehow not coming together. I've been doing this for weeks now, and my diet is chosen carefully, too (no processed foods, high protein, low carb, lots of raw veg, brown everything), but I still weigh the same, and I still have the same pants' size.
Are my assumptions wrong?
