Any low-carbers here that can help with a plateau?

  • My weight is no longer dropping and I believe this is the fourth week. I think my fat may be too low but I am eating all I can throughout the day. Are there other ways to get more fat in? Yesterday I only got 68g (110 goal) or protein in and 109g (183 goal) of fat. I consumed 1403 calories. Carbs were well under 20g. I do exercise 6 days a week. Last week I made some 'pudding' with heavy whipping cream and almond butter thinking that will increase my fat. Any tips would be appreciated!

    I really don't want to do a fat fast but thought about intermittent fasting to break the plateau.

    I posted in carb counters but no responses.
  • IMO, the best way to break a weight loss plateau is to UP your workout, for example do HIIT training to get your metabolism kick started again. Chances are your metabolism/body/brain has ADAPTED to your workout regime and it's currently not doing anything anymore. Sweat more and get your heart rate higher. Weight loss is inevitable after that! Good luck!
  • Calories are what count most for weight loss. I would suggest calculating your TDEE and go from there.
    Try this calculator to start.

    Just remember that you can't outrun a fork and that using a food scale for more accurate calorie counts is a must.

    Also don't forget to measure yourself! It's common to lose inches and yet have your weight stall for days or weeks in my case.
  • Thanks everyone!
