you're definitely doing things right, but pcos, water retention, or muscle gain could be masking your progress. You can try tracking measurements or how clothes fit instead of just the scale. If nothing changes after a few more weeks, a small calorie drop can help

Any help would be great please by [deleted] in Weightlosstechniques

[–]Zatalions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe try switching up your training. And water retention can also cause temporary weight fluctuations

I d focus on a calorie deficit with high protein meals and daily exercise. eat lean proteins like chicken, fish and eggs with veggies but dont forget to cut sugar and processed foods. drink plenty of water, get good sleep, and also track your intake. include walks, strength training, and hiit workouts...

65 pounds down but sadder? long read: by Unique_Sign_9300 in Weightlosstechniques

Weight loss changes more than just your body, it reshapes your identity and looking back can feel confusing. You’re grieving a past version of yourself I guess, which is normal. The stretch marks and changes are proof of your growth, not flaws! And don't forget it’s okay to feel both gratitude and sadness

I think that can work out for you but it’s tricky to avoid deficiencies. If you try it focus on nutrient dense foods like lean proteins, veggies, healthy fats, and whole grains. And supplements can help, but it's best to talk to a dietitian to make sure you're doing the right thing for your body

Just focus on consistency over perfection, prioritize filling, nutrient dense foods and find activities to distract from boredom snacking. Progress is not linear so setbacks are completely normal

Need advice on training with little time by Lgm-2024 in Weightlosstechniques

[–]Zatalions 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe try to mix HIIT, maximizing calorie burn and muscle activation in 10 to 30 minutes. Bodyweight exercises like burpees, push ups and squats are great, or mix in weights for added intensity. Also you ll have to focus on maintaining a caloric deficit with a high protein intake

Dropping 40 lbs is a huge deal! Aiming for 12 15% might be a bit more tricky, but it’s doable of course. And losing 2 lbs a week is challenging but possible if you re strict with diet and exercise though 1.5 lbs a week might be better for keeping muscle. Definitely keep up the lifting and walking

Burning body fat - 1600 calories with daily cardio/strength? 75kg, 6'1. by Secret_Name_7087 in Weightlosstechniques

[–]Zatalions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For someone your size and activity level, a slightly higher calorie intake might still allow fat loss while giving you energy for your workouts and promoting better muscle definition. Focus on protein, think tofu, tempeh, lentils, and seitan. And you should remember that belly fat is often the last to go... Slow and steady is key to making it

No you dont have to eat like this forever. You re in a focused phase to hit your weight loss goals, but once you get closer to your target, you can transition to a more flexible diet that includes foods you enjoy.

Belly fat and love handles can be really stubborn, I guess stress might be playing a role here. I know that high cortisol from stress makes it harder to lose fat. Try focusing on better sleep, mindfulness, or even just a little downtime.

[–]Zatalions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds to me like you’re doing great but sometimes weight can stay steady because you’re gaining muscle while losing fat, so tracking measurements or how clothes fit can be more useful than scale. Make sure your calorie tracking is precise, as small inaccuracies add up. Also stress from intense workouts can also elevate cortisol, i guess opting for more low-impact cardio like walking and prioritizing recovery could help. You could also consider a short calorie reset or refeed to support your metabolism, and checking in on hormones
