Any ideas? |
Maybe you should
PM me so we can talk more specifics, unless you don't mind doing it here?
Never mind, I see your weight now from your ticker. The slimmer you become, the more your
body is going to hold onto its
fat, unfortunately.
Cardio is not always the answer. You have stalled because of your uber low
calories you have been using. How long have you been chronically undereating like this?
When you keep
calories well below maintenance for long periods of time, you tend to drag the efficiency of your metabolism down with it. So when weight may have been coming off easy in the beginning (relatively speaking) due to your low
calories, the longer you ride the low cal wagon, the slower your metabolism is going to become. Eventually you reach a point where
weight loss stalls. Make sense?
I will go on once you read this.
And stop saying you don't want to BULK UP. You can't bulk up when you are in a caloric deficit, it is a physiological impossibility. And even if you were in a caloric surplus and had adequate
energy and training design, it would still be extremely hard for you to BULK UP being a female. Where do you get the idea that females can get huge by pushing around some
weights?
