First law of thermodynamics

Try a nutritionist. Might not be able to visit one in this lockdown but fat and muscles are results of pure math: eat more than maintenance, grow, eat less, decrease

Im also saying this because if youre a hard endo, you'll definitely need a professional diet. Most of the food used on diets have a decent amount of fat, which will be your biggest enemy, so youre not only going to need a balanced diet overall but also one with low fat

Try to find out your maintenance calories and eat around that. You have to take into consideration that sometimes we are underestimating calories. So you might think you’re eating 2k when I’m reality you’re eating 2.5k hence why you’re not losing weight.

Huh?

You're 17% bf at 83kg and 6ft?

According to my scale and a few electronic calculators, I'm 21% (was 26) at 78kg and 6ft.

Anyways, I've lost maybe 25 lbs and gained a fair amount of muscle since the past 2 months by just intermittent fasting, eating <1700 cals on weekdays, 1500 on weekends, and working out 3x a week. This shit's not an overnight process. Losing weight/fat is all about calories. Make sure you're obviously eating protein while you cut on calories.

16% is pretty low-moderate fat

have you tried intermittent fasting?

It will help you organize you macro intake. Can get fairly good results quick and more consistantly because it simplifies the diet to macro restrictions. You'll have more variety compared to some clown diet about how you "can only eat like 5 grams of carbs, and only drink celery water for like 5 years."

It's a good supplement to a 5x5 program. Going to assume your gym might be closed so stick to a consistant HIIT or calisthenics program.

Consistany is how you lose fat. Don't expect a link to some fat burner or magic pill here!

Do this

MRT style workouts 3x a week

12x Goal Bodyweight = calories to eat.

10k steps a day

Instead of loading you with a bunch of info if you de these things consistently for 30 days you’ll see major changes

Your problem is time, 2 months is not enough time.

When you say you're not losing fat at all are you talking about belly? Cos that's the last to lose fat and first to build it. Calculators are complete bullshit, only true way to test your body fat is to cut it all off and divide the weight by your body weight. Calculators are just rough estimates.

You're better off taking one photo a month and seeing progress in the mirror. Fasting is good, carnivore is good but not sustainable, better off low carb. Get minimum 8 hour sleep every night and drink plenty of water.

Just keep what you're doing and stick to it, diet wise keep it airtight, bodybuilder level of cleanliness. Calorie deficit, an ab workout every day and hiit/sprint variety every day. Like I said 2 months isn't enough time and to get to those lower levels of body fat you gotta be strict as fuck with diet/sleep/workout.

Calories in, calories out. It’s as simple as that. In my case, I ate 1000 calories per day for 8 weeks and trained hard. I lost 60 pounds in 4 months and i have maintained the loss for 2 years. If you don’t eat too much and work out hard, the weight will come off. If the weight doesn’t come off, you are eating too much.

Carb cycling is horseshit. You need 2-3 weeks of ketosis. Hight fat super low carb. I lost a huge amount of weight with that.

2 a days

I wouldn’t recommend carb cycling for weight loss, that’ll just slow your progress. Go full keto for a while.
