Why can’t I loose weight?

[Anonymous]

I’m 24. My size is L/XL, I weight 75 kilos.

my goal since January 1st to become size M.

I do watch my diet. No bread, no alcohol, no flour in general. My go to meal is usually chicken with fresh salad (no rice). I’m always on calorie deficit.

I go to the gym at least 3 times a week. I have a training program.

however, since the beginning of this year, I lost literally 1 kg. And I’m still size L/XL. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but it’s so frustrating! I’m thinking about giving up. 5 months into hard work and absolutely no results.

Any tips? ideas?

P. S. I do regular check up with my doctor and he says that there is nothing wrong with my health.

Losing weight can be a complex process, and it's not always as simple as just eating fewer calories and exercising more. Here are some possible reasons why you may not be seeing the weight loss results you want:

1. You may be underestimating your calorie intake: Even if you're eating healthy foods, it's still possible to consume too many calories. Try tracking your food intake for a few days using an app like MyFitnessPal to get a better sense of your calorie intake.

2. You may not be burning as many calories as you think: Even if you're going to the gym regularly, you may not be burning as many calories as you think. Make sure you're pushing yourself during your workouts, and consider adding more cardio to your routine.

3. You may not be getting enough sleep: Sleep is important for weight loss, as it affects hormones that control hunger and metabolism. Aim for at least 7-8 hours of sleep per night.

4. You may be under too much stress: High levels of stress can cause the body to produce cortisol, which can make it difficult to lose weight. Try to find ways to manage stress, such as meditation or yoga.

5. You may have a medical condition that is affecting your weight: While your doctor has given you a clean bill of health, there are certain conditions that can affect weight loss, such as thyroid disorders. If you're concerned, consider getting a second opinion or seeing a specialist.

It's important to remember that weight loss is not always linear and can take time. Don't give up, and continue to make healthy choices. Consider consulting with a registered dietitian or personal trainer who can provide personalized recommendations based on your individual needs and goals.

Are you drinking 2 litres of water per day? Water is vital to losing weight and keeping hydrated. It took you a long while to gain the extra weight, it will naturally take a while for it to come off. Do not starve yourself, it'll just cause health dangers and eventually you will gain the weight back.

if you were in a calorie deficit you'd have lost a lot more than 1kg in 5 months...

the only reason you haven't is cos well your not on one. you think you are but your not. either you're not counting your cals right likely or your real tdee is much lower than you think it is. like by the way just saying in case you think this cos so many girls think this, but 2000 calories a day is way too much to be eating if you want to lose weight. that's the normal number that a grown thin normal height adult dude should eat to maintain his weight. heck you'd gain weight on that if your a girl. you should be eating about 1700- 1800 to maintain your weight, and 1100-1450 to lose weight (lower isn't healthy more than occasionally). if you count your calories right and you have the right tdee well then you probably have a thyroid problem and should get yourself checked out

looked at the other post on here and have to say if your petite which i think you are since you say you're 75kgs and are probably pretty overweight i think? 1500 cal is way way too much to be eating. you need to eat more like 1100-1200 and work out more. that's the only way. 1500 is like your maintenance calories if your a short girl

If you've been at this for 5 months and see no results that probably means you are not in a caloric deficit. That means you are eating too much or not moving enough. Do you measure your progress weekly with pictures and/or body measurements? Those will be true indicators of progress.

The biggest mistake people make is to skip carbs. Your body needs carbs, also if you want to loose weight. ideal is to be in appr. 400 cal deficit compared to your daily need. But include carbs in your diet or nothing will happen.

I’ve talked with few different dietitians.
One of them literally said - NO CARBS. And promoted KETO. But Keto sounds terrible to me.
Another one - Low carbs only.
And third one said just no sweets and generally unhealthy food. Pretty much said I can eat everything but fit into 1500kcal
So I don’t trust anyone on this

I always say if you want to look skinny hangout with fat people.

Absolutely no sugar
Absolute fast once a week
Running everyday
Check with doctor if he can give you metabolism boosters.


There's obviously something you aren't doing right...

Bro why only 3 time gym in week?
Go everyday or twice in a day..
Do jogging. Take a long fast walk..

[Asker]

can't go more often due to work schedule. But I go on long walks with my dog everyday.

[Opinion Owner]

No no girl you have to change schedule you can't lose weight just by following diets

[Anonymous]

You're probably building muscle which is heavier than fat

[Asker]

That’s not the case. Since I’m still the same size
