You may not be taking in enough calories. What were you instructed to be taking in at 4 weeks? At my 6 week check up, my NUT had me increase my calories to 1000/day (I wasn't losing quickly at all) That has seemed to keep me slow and steady at about 12lbs a month since.

Very good read and it helps to know the why sometimes.

Good luck!!

The main thing I would look at is the carb count in my foods. Check out the sugar grams in Protein drinks/bars and any other fluids taken in.

I run my foods through this nutrition calculator to see the protein/carb counts of my food.

From experience, I know that simple sugars will make me retain weight and slow down my weight loss.

Have you talked to your NUT? My guess is that you may be right about your intake being low, but it would be best to check in with an expert.

That is all you are eating at a moth out? You should be trying to get your Protein in with foods. I would say you should probably up your calories. I am almost 6 weeks out, eat about 600 calories a day (no shakes, sometimes isopure) and have lost 42lbs.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
