Why aren't I losing weight!!?

Be patient. Rome wasn’t built in a day.

The results will come.

If it doesn’t, you are not eating a caloric deficit. Simple.

What is ‘normal’ calories? You need to find your TDEE.

Start doing cardio

If you’re in a caloric deficit you will lose weight. If you’re not losing weight you’re not in a caloric deficit.

Intermittent fasting is the way, and cardio would help

"Do no cardio...." You cant out train a bad diet but the aforementioned statement is probably your biggest issue...gotta get that heartr rate up.

Calorie creep (i.e. condiments)

You need to make sure you know your TDEE. Only then can you make sure what target to aim for. It could also be possible that your metabolism has slowed down due to a large caloric deficit and entered "starvation mode". I would also start doing some light cardio. At least a mile of HIIT to start off a day wouldn't hurt

How long have you been dieting?

Besides the scale, what was your waist measurement before you started.

trpthrowaya · 2020-04-02T23:57:13+00:00

Do you track everything correctly including what you drink? If you are already at a low body fat, it will take more time to lose stubborn fat and you also have to adjust your calories.

Don't:

Eat low calorie low protein diet Do lots of cardio Do high rep low weight resistance training

Do:

Use an aggressive calorie deficit of 25% Eat high protein high carb diet Do a lot of heavy compound weightlifting Keep your cardio to a minimum

Use a macro calculator to find how many calories you should eat to maintain your body weight. Cut to 25% of that (your TDEE). Of those, 40% protein, 40% carbs and 20% fat. To speed things up, you can try HIT in the morning while fasted.

If you’ve just started lifting you’ll be gaining muscle and losing fat which means you won’t have much movement on the scales.

‘Don’t be a slave to the scales’

What’s in the mirror is the best metric of how you’re doing.

cumberger · 2020-04-03T00:05:55+00:00

do some fucking cardio lol. 30 mins 5x a week. hr above 120

DatRiggz · 2020-04-03T01:24:28+00:00

Cause you're miscalculating. If its been 2 weeks plus with no changes then cals need to drop.

Whitefarmer · 2020-04-03T01:41:30+00:00

Your eating. Look up the snake diet

ThrowawayYAYAY2002 · 2020-04-03T09:53:33+00:00

How long have you been eating 1700 for? You could be under-eating.

analogmilk · 2020-05-15T08:47:46+00:00

As long as you are being accurate with your food weighing and tracking here is my advice:

It sounds like your metabolism has stalled most likely. Look into scheduled refeeds. These are higher calorie days usually once a week that will help keep your metabolism active during a cut.

1700 cals is extremely low, and the human body will always adapt to what is happening, hence refeeding on a ~2200 cal day will help kickstart energy metabolization. Doing no cardio is definitely hurting you. I would start with two 200 cal cardio sessions a week after your workouts and increase from there based on your fat loss.

Like others have said be patient! Weigh yourself nude everyday preferably after you shit in the morning. And always make small adjustments in your approach, never completely overhaul what you’re doing!

realcat67 · 2020-04-02T18:01:12+00:00

In this day, the idea of having to eat at a caloric deficit is totally outmoded. There are hormones that control how your body uses calories. If you are eating in such a way as to not optimize these hormones, you will have to go down to a horrific calorie level to lose. Check out intermittent fasting. Do not eat after 6 pm and see how much weight you lose.

Cut the carbs to less than 30g a day and you’ll get a six pack in 2 weeks
