Hi all,
I have lost 10 percent of my body weight and now I have hit a plateau that has lasted a few months. I am wondering if you all think that it might help to decrease my calorie deficit. I need to lose about another 10 percent. Right now I usually have a 750 to 1100 calorie deficit per day. Could it be that my body is now worried that I am starving? Should I lower it to 500 or even less? Or should I have no deficit for a few weeks and then go back to having one? Any suggestions? I have a GWF and burn 2500 - 3000 calories per day -- so I am eating about 1650 per day, sometimes more, sometimes less. It varies day to day.
I am also lifting fairly heavy (just finished the Push section of CLX and will be starting Lean on Monday -- all in preparation for STS). I do intense cardio 3 to 4 days a week. I also walk a lot.
Thanks,
Tobermory
