I've been stuck at 200lbs forever now. Can someone help me cut weight?

[Wade12345]

I think my ideal weight is like 20 pounds lighter than now, but i need to lose like 30 pounds of fat and fluid and build back like 10 pounds of muscle. I am eating a lot healthier than I used to eat, but still having trouble cutting weight. My stupid Type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure makes it hard to train the way I'd like to train, but I told someone two years ago that i wanted to try to get in good enough shape to fight professionally even though I'm really too old to be starting out. If I could cut weight to 180lbs again, I could kick ass in the middle weight division.

I really need hours after hours of advance cardio kickboxing workouts, I know that, but its' just hard to keep pushing myself because of my medical problems.

Oh boy. I'm gonna tell you this, going vegetarian to vegan would help you lose a lot. Only drink water and eat while foods. Kinda hard not being able to see you. It is a lot of work. But once you there it's good!

what is your height?

[Wade12345]

5'9"

The chart say my ideal weight is like 165, but I have broad shoulders. Both the Gracie dojo owner and my doctor said that's pretty much impossible for me to make 165 ever again. I'd be happy with 180lbs but I've cut my total calories in half and still haven't lost any more weight in what seems like 2 years.

you should consult with a registered dietitian, first

[Wade12345]

dieticians are not qualified to treat me.

[NathanDavis]

are you made of playdough? then, this is a case for Doc McStuffins!!

[Wade12345]

no. I have multiple medical conditions that are above their paygrade. That's all.

[Wade12345]

I cannot eat anything with iron or calcium. Basically, I'm supposed to just eat meats and vegetables, no carbs at all, no cheeses or dairy, no nuts.

[NathanDavis]

registered dietitians have more studies... I think they can tell the difference between iron, calcium, carbs, long etcétera...
