Do u think cuz im on a diet it may be why im running slower than i would expect (plus my treadmill is at 1% incline). I look/feel like im in good shape bt my mile times do not reflect that on my treadmill =/
HELP!

How slow is that? Anyway, you don't need to be fast, the important thing is to have a steady paste and keep it up. Don't worry.

How "fast" you run has more to do with biomechanics than it does with what shape you are in. For instance, I have the same problem. I am not built for running very fast I am 5'8 and have relatively short legs compared to the average long distance runner/sprinter. No matter how hard I try it is impossible for me to compare myself to someone with longer legs. Longer legs give you a longer stride which results in faster mile times.
Think of it this way, no matter how hard I train or practice I'll never be able to slam dunk a basketball like someone who is 6'8" and never seen a basketball in his life. We are all built differently which come with their strengths and weaknesses.
Being in shape has nothing to do with mile times and everything to do with other things like blood pressure, cholesterol, and internal bodyfat.

Change it to brisk walking. You will end up burning more fats.
I am on low carb, low fat, high fibre, high protein and a hour brisk walk 5 times a week, and I have lost 31lbs and gain better health. I am now maintaining my 108lbs for 2 years.
Details such as my experience, types of foods and veggies to eat, healthy low fat snacks, meals, recipes, walking as an exercise and to shape the body etc etc, are in my blog.

One thing that will help you lose weight: diet pills. I was one of those who did not believe in them until I tried it. And I tried a few. The best product I found on the market is made with pure hoodia and it works great! You can go to
http://www.trim-fit.info and order you free trial, also you only pay 5.49$ shipping and handling. Good luck!

yes because you do not have enough food in you. I think you should eat normal or alot and exercise alot so it will even out
