Hey there. I would not call myself a novice to the whole weight loss and exercise arena, but i would love some advice from some professionals or someone who knows what might work to help me out further.
I'm hoping i could maybe get some advice on here for a plateau i seem to have hit with my weight loss.
I am currently eating a balanced diet of fat/carbs/protein. I've been eating at a Caloric net deficit of around 20-30% of my BMR (including calories burned from cardio) for a couple months now. I've read a few books on the subject and feel i generally know what im doing. After the first 3 weeks i noticed considerable weight loss. Almost every day i could notice myself losing weight. From weeks 3-5 i noticed i was slightly losing more weight every couple days or so i could tell. but it seems like over the last 2-3 weeks it seems like haven't really seen any sort of improvement. I'm in fairly good shape. I had been doing a weight training and cardio routine about a few months before i decided to restrict calorie consumption and focus more on fat loss. the weight im trying to lose is all in that "spare tire" area. In-between the bottom of my ribs and the top of my pants line.
Is there something else i can try doing to try to knock out that stubborn area? Every single day im eating at a caloric deficit which i know should equate to losing the fat, but i just dont see any changes with that area any longer. Almost like i hit a wall in my weight loss.
According to what ive read, its not healthy to go below a 30% caloric deficit so im a little hesitant to either eat less or exercise more, especially if its going to have some negative affects.
I am 6'2. 28 y/o. 212 pounds. I consume right around 2550-2650 calories daily and burn between 700-800 calories in cardio daily, which roughly gives me a net calorie consumption of 1750-1850 daily.
Any advice guys?
Thanks!
