Why am I still fat?

[Anonymous]

So I've been working out for at least one hour a day (almost every day of the week), I have been eating really healthy (I eat about 1400 calories a day), but I'm still fat😫😫😫
I've never had a flat stomach, I've always had this layer of fat. All in all I've lost 20 kg in 2 years and after last year my weight loss has gone into a plateau. What can I do? I'm seriously considering eating as little as possible.

Its gets significantly harder to lose weight the close you get to losing most of it... like much much harder

You are falling victim to this process... Keep your calorie intake the same, there's a certain point it shouldn't go lower. What you need to do is step up the intensity big time. Faster harder at the gym, push it girl... you need to get to double the effort as now

Do HIIT training

40lb is a great loss!!! You should be proud. And that just shows that hard work does pay off.
What is your diet like atm? And excersize? Explain in more detail and ill try and offer some advice. Also what kind of shape are you in right now, a pic would help a lot as to how much fat you actually have to lose.

Well I don't eat anything sweet (apart from fruits and occasionally some honey) and I try to eat as little salt as I can. My exercise consists of about an hour of cardio and planks, push ups (the "girl" ones caus I have spaghetti arms), wall sits, squats and a bunch of abdominal exercises.
My fat percentage is 26%( I went to a place where they have those special scales that counts your fat% water% and muscle mass)
I think that's all, oh and I try to eat less carbs

[Dansexuall]

Forget planks and ab work, they will not help you lose fat whatsoever. Squats, are good aswell as weight training but your main focus should be cardiovascular. Walking, running, cycling etc.
Low carb diets are awful, eat carbs, they give you energy to function properly. The best diet for health and fat loss is a plant based vegan diet. You can eat as much fruit, veg, beans, lentils etc as you want and you'll still lose fat. Drop meat and dairy and eat only whole foods, nothing processed, move some more and that weight will drop off I promise.

Thank you so much for your tips. I'm going to give them a go😄

I might do that! I eat way too much meat and sugar.

I'm still fat too but hey nothing wrong with that and eating less isn't wise. Just keep eating healthy

Diet. Need to change your diet

[PinkF]

It's not about eating less. It's about eating differently. How many vegetables do you eat a day? I eat 2 whole cucumbers and 4 celery stalks a day. I've lost about 10 lbs

[PinkF]

I eat up to 8 vegetables a day four times a day

[Asker]

I eat a lot of vegetables. At least a handful with every meal

[Asker]

Well not as much as you 😄

[ZionOrtov]

Working out 1 hour a day is practically nothing.

I used to work out 6-8 hours a day.

You lost a lot of weight though so it doesn't matter.

Make sure you watch the sugar/carb intake.
