How to pick my weight loss speed up?

[Anonymous]

So, Back in September 2014, I weighed 235lb, And, As of 2 months ago i weighed 170lb. (65lbs lost).

And, In the past 2 months iv'e gained 15lb of muscle. (And about 2lb of fat too, So im now 187lb).

And, I'm trying to start cutting again, And, Its just so much fuckin harder this time then when i was bigger, I mean, I'm eating about 1000 calories a day, I work in physical labour 8AM - 5PM, And ill try go running or to the gym every other day. (Give myself time to heal), And, What little i do eat is all healthy stuff, No junk or shit whatsoever.

But.. I'm just not loosing anything anymore. Its demoralizing as fuck, Because i'm doing all this, And i'm not changing at all. I've been doing this for a month now, And i look EXACTLY the same.

I start college again in September, So, I'd like to loose 10-15lb before the 10th September. (That would be 2lb's per week to loose 10lb, And i'd be happy with that). As i cannot be bothered starting another college year with a fat body.

Any ideas?

Cheers.

You're not eating enough, 1000 calories a day is not enough if you are active. When you deprive yourself of calories for too long, your metabolism will slow drastically. Probably why you're not losing anymore weight, your body is adjusting and likely trying to store or burn as little fat as possible.

Do this

Every morning you wake up, without eating go do some cardio by building up to 30-60 mins 5 times a week

Once you get there you'll be golden bud. Also make sure you figure how many calories your body needs per day and drop that by 200 to 500

Watch the pounds shed mate

There's no way you gained 15 pounds of muscle in 2 months, and if you did, your definitely on a good cycle! But there's no way you gained 15 pounds in 2 months and your still natty! That means you were gaining almost 2 pounds of muscle a week, which is unheard of for someone who's natty, it pretty common on a good cycle. Honestly I think you carb over loaded so your muscles are filled and you look bigger but it's an illusion, it not muscle it's just extra weight from the extra food

I suppose that is also possible. I never thought of that, Though, I have noticed i can lift a lot more then prior to months ago.

Regardless of the muscle thing, My point still stands, I need help cutting more, Any advice?

[westcoastbratt92]

Your feeling stronger because your finally eating more carbs, so it's normal to be lifting more weight because of that. If I were you I would be counting my macros not my calories and I would be using a 5/3/2 macro split, which is 50% protein, 30% carbs, 20% fats

Look up intermittent fasting.

I thought fasting was just a load of bulshit and was only temporary?

IF works, I did it to cut when I was comp climbing.
