| Body Adaption During Weight Loss Hi All,
My first post, so please bare with me. I know alot of people post specific to themselfs, this sometimes inspires other people or relates to them, how ever i'm get to find anything covering my issue.
About 4 years ago i started my weight loss program, going from 18st at 20yrs old, to 12st 7lb by the time i was 22, during which time i was weight training as well as cardio work so at a guess loosing over 6stone. I'm not here for prise, or well dones, i just need to know whats gone wront before i hate myself anymore!
I'm now 24, a little fatter than I was back then but only by about 2-3% bf, but have bulked naturally and now weigh in at 15st 5lb, my problem, I can't lose the weight anymore.
I've been on alot of forums, read alot of info on fat loss, dieting and exercising info over the years so feel myself quite well versed in training, supplements and general weight info, how ever I was wondering if your body can adapt to low calorie dieting.
I've been scared of putting weight back on again so always kept my calories down, which is worrying how i've managed to bulk on less tha 2000 callories a day. Now im on anywhere between 1200-1500 callores a day, unable to lose weight, but go over 2000 and a start to put weight on.
Diet:
meal 1: Oats and Protein Shake
meal 2: Apple and Shake
meal 3: Smoked fish of some sort and 1 slice wholemeal bread
meal 4: Diced chicken or ham salad
****Train****
meal 5: Palm of nuts and shake
Training
Mon: Chest
Tues: Back
Wed: Rest
Thurs: Legs and Tri
Fir: Shoulds and Bi
Cardio 3 times a week after weights
I train hard and push myself constantly, i dont have a problem gaining muscle, but losing weight.
I'm also struggling with the excess skin from the weight loss which I am looking to have removed towards the end of the year but if anyone can shead some light on what my be the problem please let me know.
Regards
