If it is lack of food then what am i supposed to do as im using diatia level 2 as this is my weight area, im down too 196lbs from 208lbs so not bad going but i feel everything is falling apart now. |
If it is lack of food, then either go up to level 3 or do as chefx says and add a little butter or oil to each meal on level 2. You should be losing about 1lb/week of fat at the most. Any more is PROBABLY going to be muscle and strength loss too. When you were 208 according to diatia you should have started at level 3 and only dropped to 2 when you got below 200. This would have kept your metabolism higher for longer.
I also remember seeing a post saying you have 2 cheat days a week. If this is still the case, if I were you I would personally go up to level 3 but drop down to either 1 cheat day or half a cheat day a week. That will keep your total weekly calories probably fairly similar to where they are now, but you'll be getting a higher percentage of it from good foods.
If you're not getting weaker due to diet then it's probably your training routine that should be reviewed.
Also are you getting enough water and sleep?
