Stubborn fat! Can't lose weight.

  • I'm 21 and I currently weight 55kgs. For a girl with a height of just 5"1, i do look fat. I started dieting 3 years back and lost 9kgs. But it didn't last and i gained weight again and now it's too difficult to lose weight. I walk 8km and follow an 800 calorie meal plan everyday. I exercise by following instructions in KIQPLAN app. I can barely see any results despite of eating healthy and exercising. I wish for a change in my life. I'm quite uncomfortable with my body . Please suggest some tips and diet plans. Please please please help!!!!!!
  • Are you sure your eating enough calories? 800kcal could be putting your body in starvation mode.
  • Nickilaughs,
    On increasing my calories I end up gaining more weight instead of losing. And i don't even feel hungry most of the time, it's like i have to forcefully eat something.
  • While women tend to have it rougher than men in the realm of losing fat, often times nothing special is needed to lose stubborn fat beyond a proper diet and exercise routine, and some patience. Great source!
  • Can anyone suggest diet and nutrition that would help me loose weight .

    It's commendable how you lost so much weight. What kind of diet are you following?
  • sounds like you aren't eating enough.

    are you eating clean?
    how often are you eating?
    what are you doing physically? How often? How long? How intense?

  • I average 1400 to 1800 calories a day.
    I eat a TON of vegetables. My goal is to eat at least 5 servings a day. I often surpass that.
    I eat no bread at this time. I eat no oats or any other wheat products. I have IBS and have found them to be a large culprit in my diet.
    I stopped drinking alcohol except for a very occasional glass of wine or beer.

    My average daily meal:
    Breakfast: two scrambled eggs, one piece of thick cut applewood bacon and usually zuchini/mushrooms/onions/jalapenos mixed in. A scramble.

    Lunch: It can range from a two egg/egg salad with celery on the side or a tuna salad. I must have mayo in my life. I make big salads sometimes. Usually my salad dressing is just balsamic vinegar. I also eat a lot of sliced bell peppers or other raw veggies for snacks. I used to use hummus but recently cut it out to see if it helped improve my gut more.

    Dinner: I bake a lot of chicken. I'll usually have half a large baked chicken breast chopped up in some variety of veggies. I have a spiralizer and make a lot of zuchini pasta, just a quarter cup of alfredo with asparagus, mushrooms and tomatoes thrown in, I have an amazing chicken alfredo. Sometimes I alternate pesto or homemade tomato sauce.
    I also have fish/hamburger meat/steak etc. I get creative and make awesome stuffed bell peppers etc. I just find ways to make veggies the focus. I don't really eat potatoes except for yams/sweet potatoes. If i'm craving mashed potatoes I mash cauliflower.

    For snacks: I will roll up high quality turkey meat around a little bit of avocado and some mustard. Or I'll have salted Pumpkin seeds. I recently cut out cheese too. Made it a bit harder, but I feel better.

    I guess it'd be described as a "paleo" diet. I however have to meal prep two days a week to make it happen. It's mainly just baking 6 chicken breasts, 20 eggs or so and chopping up a ton of vegetables. The rest of the "cooking" I do daily and it doesn't take me long. I do eat out on occasion. I do have cheat days as well. But I reserve them for special occasions.

    This weight loss took me 4 months. So I averaged 5 to 6 #s a month. Most people expect to make big numbers. But I think that expectation results in people becoming discouraged and giving up. It takes people years to gain that weight. Expecting to drop it quickly is often unrealistic. There are weeks I lose nothing, and weeks I lose 2 lbs. These 18 weeks though that I've stuck to it has resulted in long term success.
  • Meena, what weight are you aiming for?

    A great purchase would be a food scale. Use it for everything instead of using other measurements. Track every single bite that you eat and see if it helps.

    I lost 70 pounds in three months with Marilyn and Harvey Diamond's Fit for Life. I'm not saying it will work for you, but it did for me and others: http://www.amazon.com/Fit-Life-Harve...s=fit+for+life
