So stressed out, I bought a different scale thinking it was broken. I eat under 1000 calories a day, excercise 2 hours a day. Same weight for months. I weight myself every day.
1k kcal might actually create an oposite effect, i don't know ur weight, gender etc but it is very likely for your body to operate in low maintance mode due to too dramatic difference between actually needed energy and the one ur giving
This is interesting because I have hit a plateau with the weighing scale but no end of people have said they have noticed a weight loss! I said I don't know how because I've stayed the same for around a month now and I still have another stone to loose!
Don't just assume you have another stone to go. Occasionally check your muscle mass. My wife plateued at her ideal weight for six months. She was still trying to lose another fifty pounds based on her BMI. And the diet was doctor supervised.
My weight loss stopped and plateaued when I reached a mental-physical - spiritual - equilibrium and I stopped monitoring my caloric intake. I got used to my new form. Sometimes you need time to reassess the new condition you are in now and create your next steps as they may be different than originally thought or believed.
I've been at this for 28 weeks and have gone from a size 20 to a 6 on bottom and 2X to a small/medium on top. I just had everything stop the past 2 weeks. I still have more fat to lose, so I'm thinking I need a diet break. I was doing good and then when things stalled, I dropped calories too low and I'm so fatigued I can barely get off the couch but I keep pushing myself to exercise. I realized today that this is ridiculous! I need to fuel my body and keep my calories up and not at such a great deficit, so I'm taking a short break from deficit and then going to try and stay at 1700-1800 going forth. Thanks for all your videos, been watching them all day today 😂. I agree so much with everything you teach. It was refreshing to hear someone else say it.
Really good video! Super informative! I already knew all the things you talked about, but it’s good hearing the same thing from other sources. Thank you for your work! Good luck to you!
i agree, have to weigh twice a week in morning before food and drink and combine them wo a weekly average, also id recommend measuring waist in cm as a second measurement
I’m happy to be in a calorie deficit but I hate counting calories…it’s just so hard if you can’t weigh every single thing you eat, like you go to a friends for dinner, or ingredients don’t have info….any advice?
Look at the menu beforehand and pick it an item that fits in your goal and structure your day accordingly... or just enjoy some fun foods with your friends and family... next day, get right back on it. Keep water intake up and remain active. For me, if I know I'm going to eat higher calories for a day, I always structure my leg day around it. The extra carbs and calories does wonders for my gym session. Good luck!
Hi Sarah. I‘ve been in a calorie deficit without counting calories for 1,5y and so far it is working really well for me. I’ve done research on basic nutrition, I pay attention to portion size and how often I eat which foods in a day. I do make approx guesses of my calorie intake but not having to weigh everything is taking a lot of pressure off of me and for me, it‘s working. I‘m sure I could lose fat faster if I implemented calorie counting into my nutrition but I don‘t want to do that because of my mental health and having struggled with disordered eating. I don‘t know if this will work for you as well but you might wanna try it.
Three months here on a plateau. I started eating more, exercising and toning daily. It started to drop again. I wonder if when a plateau starts it would be better to forget weight loss for awhile and then try again.
@@rg-mi5hh I've never heard of Plateaus lasting so long. Going on 6 months for me now and it's absolutely ridiculous. I've tried everything. Fasting, changing diets, more cardio and no change. Extremely frustrating. I feel trapped.
I understand. I have been in one for 2 years. I have changed and done more and less and logging and weighing and reduced carbs and reduced more carbs and have tried everything. I feel like crap and need to lose more and just can't. It becomes so frustrating and I cry a lot. Too bad that doesn't help. I get very unmotivated when nothing at all works. Nutritionists and trainers and everything. Weight loss shots helped me for a month and I had to stop but I ate almost nothing taking it. Weak and nearly passing out. Nothing works for me now after losing for a while.
I've heard someone suggest to eat at maintenance calories one day every week or two to prevent getting into a plateau. Does this actually work, or is it another bit of misinformation?
I have been in one for 2 years and nothing helps. Reduced calories, exercised more, increased calories, added more training. More cardio. Reduced carbs. Tried it all and nothing at all changes. I have gone below 1200 calories a day with exercise and nothing. Increased calories nothing. Nothing works for me at all
I'm so frustrated I have only lost 15 pounds in 6 months I do everything Monday through Friday I do have 1 day between the week I eat my protein I am on a calorie deficit but it's gonna be almost 2 months now and no weight loss I'm stuck at 170 I can't with all my power get to 169. On the positive side, I do notice that I'm lifting heavier than what I started. And I got a bit of muscle but I'm not losing in the mid section and I'm not losing weight 😢😢😢 it's so frustrating im hanging by a thread I'm close to just giving up
Try not to use exercise as a way to burn calories but as a way to feel good and know its good for your overall health. If you're trying to lose fat, focus on your nutrition and and do a moderate deficit. Good luck!
update I went from 3 hours of cardio a day to 1 hour of cardio every other day lol How was I lost, this video definitely did help me reflect on that! TY
Very intelligent, but you contradict yourselves when you talk calories in calories out and then admit your metabolic rate can vary. Body type also makes a difference. And traditional diets will always result in net weight gain. Sometimes, you just need to eat a stake and lose the breakfast cereal.

1000 calories is not enough.
Have your broken your plateau?

I eat under a thousand cal a day Keto OMAD. Been stalled for several weeks.
Same i only eat 900 calories everyday but i got this plateau thing

Yes! Mindset is everything! 😊

OMAD and Carnivore together finally helped me. Check out videos on both!

Very interesting 😊
Great advice.
can you please tell me when I burn more calories when i run? when I run constantly or when I increase my running speed?thanks
Try not to use exercise as a way to burn calories but as a way to feel good and know its good for your overall health. If you're trying to lose fat, focus on your nutrition and and do a moderate deficit. Good luck!
@@discoveringhealthandfinanc8328 thank you🙏
Hi this is an amazing video! ❤
Remind me again what is a deficit is it 500 calories less then your normal calories
200-500 if your very active for examples ( i do 300 because i run a few miles eveyday and lift)
So you tell me I should eat 1000kcal a day now…? And still train about 1h a day at 67,5kg 159cm….???
Sounds way too little.
Im stuck at 190 lbs. I just had my 5th baby 7ms ago. Im so bummed and trying not to get depressed. I'd love to be healthy 😔 but a lot of good advice.
Went from 258 to 221...Can't seem to go under 221 got discouraged and had 2 "bad" days so I decided to come to the internet and gather resources.
update I went from 3 hours of cardio a day to 1 hour of cardio every other day lol How was I lost, this video definitely did help me reflect on that! TY
@@sara_36511did it work? How are u doing now? Could u tell me about your calorie intake?

I’m amazed how some people can talk and talk and say nothing.
