Hello people,
I have been on a strict diet for more than two months now, and I wanted to share my experience and ask you some questions that you might help me with.
So I weigh about 176 pounds now (starting weight was 189) 6 ft 0 and I have been stuck here for 2 weeks. At first I took around 1500 to 1700 calories a day, basically high fat-low carb diet with around 100g of proteins every day. I do push-ups, chin-ups and pull-ups at home 6 days a week, and play basketball two days a week. I am IT guy so i am very inactive during first 8 hours of the day.
My metabolism is very slow because I always been more fat and also had trouble to maintain a normal weight for all my life. Now that I have cutted more than 1000 calories deficit every day, my metabolism has worsened and I go to bathroom very rarely (sometimes 3 days). Now I eat about 1200-1300 calories a day and I weigh 176 pounds for more than two weeks.
My questions to you guys is, do you know why am I not being able to lose more weight? Am I cutting too many calories a day that I am almost starving myself and my metabolism slowed down so much to save as much energy as it can or do I have to look elsewhere to realize the problem?
I would be happy to discuss with you about this. Thank you.
