[rickisthecoolest1]

What diet plan have you been using? Cardio weight training? When did you stall how long have you been stalled? daily calories?

[G I JoE]

erm id say calories are around 2000, stalled for about 3 months now, weight and cardio training, i keep my protein up.. just keeps boucing in 11 stone..

Your weight may not have changed, but how about your body composition? I feel that's the more meaningful statistic.

Have you been keeping track of this on a regular basis? You may be putting on enough muscle to compensate for the fat you're losing.

well i can see am getting more definition especially around my chest and shoulders. stil got a slight belly though ive ran out of ideas. maybe i should change how i train? is it possible my bodys adapt to my style of training

[rickisthecoolest1]

yeah your body will adapt quickly if you continue to do the same thing over and over again.
If you are stuck I would increase cardio and see if that works for you, you could also try to carb cycle sometimes that will do the truck and shack things up.

Hi,

I ran into a similar situation last month . . . I've been working hard for the last 4 months and dropped 35lbs, but then hit a 3-week wall where my weight didn't drop at all despite my lifting and cardio sessions being varied and a strict calorie deficit diet.

I ended-up doing a keto diet for a week, which consisted of the following:
- Bfast: 4 eggs + 4 strips of bacon
- Lunch: Fish or Steak + some low-carb greens
- Dinner: 4 eggs + 2 strips of bacon
- Snacks: tuna or eggs, and 1 spoonful of peanut butter a day
- On days I lifted, I would use BSN Lean Dessert protien shake (1 scoop before/after) and cut out the PB to stay under the carb limit.
- Lots of water!

It was torture, cuz you feel like crap for the first 3 days, but I lost 5 lbs that week and it got me over that hump, and once I resumed my normal diet I had not weight gain and my body started losing weight at its normal pace again. Well worth it in my opinion.

I tweaked my carb intake. I keep my protein intake pretty high between 1 and 1.5g per pound. My carb intake is very low I keep that between .5 and .75g per pound. I eat the bulk of those carbs at breakfast, pre-workout and post workout. Other meals consist of proteins and healthy fats.

Sounds like you are doing something right and still improving. Sometimes you cant go by the scale but 3 months is a long time to locked around one weight.

Good luck.

Just a suggestion from my personal experience I lose weight faster when my intake is around 2400 cals daily if your activity level is like mine, it's possible you aren't eating enough...Like I said this works for me, but I'm still learning too

[G I JoE]

thanks for all the suggestions guys, much appreciated! il see how it goes for this month
