Hi,

I'm trying to get my abs out by my wedding in two month. That's why I started cutting about 7 weeks ago (was 184 lbs, now down to 167 lbs). However, it's been two weeks since my diet stopped the weight loss process: I haven't lost a pound in 14 days and my muscles are not more visible than 2 weeks before). My belly is flat and remains so when I'm seated. I guess I have succeeded so far to keep my lean mass as I lift as much as I did when I started cutting.

My daily macros are about:
1800 kcal
183g carbs
173g protein
60g fat

Should I cut even more on the fat? How about the carbs?


I've been told by some that if I wanted to go down to 10% BF, I should go for about 2 weeks with nothing but chicken breast and broccoli. However, that does not sound not so healthy, I made a simulation with some slight differences and the results are not that good:

Meal 1: 10 egg whites

Meal 2:
150g chicken breast
1 cup broccoli

Meal 3:
100g tilapia
1 cup rice

Meal 4:
150g chicken breast
1 cup broccoli

Meal 5:
100g tuna
1 cup cauliflower

Macros
1408 kcal
112g carbs
10g fat
193g protein

Only 1408 kcal seems a little slow. Should I replace the fish with some more chicken or Turkey? Is it okay to have so few carbs? Maybe some whole wheat bread?


I'd be interested in your opinion.

You may want to try intermittent fasting to try to get rid of the final "stubborn" fat. Just remember fat loss will always slow down as your body fat drops--going from 25-15% is quite different from going from 15-5%.

Here's an article on intermittent fasting:
