Hi Guys,
Can someone please help/advise me. I'm currently on a cut and consuming 1400 calories,working out 4 days a week, but I haven't lost weight for the last 4 weeks. My height is 5'6 and weigh 156 lbs, so I worked out my maintenance to be around 2000 calories.?
Have I somehow slowed down my metabolism?
Any advise would be much appreciated.

Are you absolutely sure that you are consuming 1400 calories?
What would you be willing to bet on that? Check, double-check, and check your checking. Be generous with the amount of calories you attribute to each meal.Timidity is dangerous. Better to enter with boldness.

How long has it been since you last lost weight? How much have you lost total? What was your weight at the start of your cut? Whats your BF%? How long have you been cutting?
You don't need cardio right now. Honestly bro, my girlfriend's maintenance is 1400. You may need to forget about cutting and get some muscle on your body.Workout Journal:http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=158998611

at 1400 calories, unless you have a metabolic/thyroid issue (highly unlikely) you will be losing fat; however, if you are new to training you may experience noob-gains (like I am getting now, but I am seeing results in the mirror even though the scale 'weight-loss' isn't reflecting my diet). have you seen any changes in the mirror? if not I can only assume that you are not counting correctly, what does your daily diet usually consist of?

Guys. This isn't rocket science. OP is 5'6" and 156 pounds. 1400 calories may have worked to get him there but now it's his maintenance. If you want to keep getting smaller, eat less. It's that simple.
However OP, you might want to just accept maintenance for awhile and create your calorie deficit with excercise."It doesn't matter what exercise you do, but man was made to move, to eat sparingly, to work hard and to screw as much as he can manage. Do all that, and you will look as good as your genes will let you, be content as the arseholes around you will allow, and maybe get a few screws. The particular virtues of weight training are in the discipline it brings to both mind and body, and, if you do it right, it will make you look good naked and do well what you got your clothes off to do."

1400 calories being a grown man's maintenance is absurd. I maintain that either he's counting his calories wrong, or he's not weighing himself consistently enough to see the drop in his weight against water weight fluctuations.
If you believe 100% that you are eating at 1400 calories, then drop it by 200, and eat like that for a few weeks, then come back if you still don't see any results.Timidity is dangerous. Better to enter with boldness.
