WHAT'S THE SECRET?!

[TaureanMe 15]

eat more often? less often? every 2hrs? 3 meals/2 Snacks? shakes in between? I can't say "whatever works for you".. ugh I'm stuck in a stall & haven't lost what I'd hope to by now either.. I eat very clean, VERY limited carbs if any,.. and it's never bread or sugary stuff.

so I'm curious as to what is working best that ppl have noticed??

First how much have you lost..in what timeframe..slow is not always a bad thing? How is your exercise? Water intake?

I am personally trying intermittent fasting with 16:8..16 hours of fasting and 8 hour window to eat and I'm mixing my calories up too..two non consecutive days with only 500 calories each day..rest of the week normal calorie range to see if it helps me.

For me, especally for the first year, it was high Protein and very low carbs (under 20) daily.

Now I do carb cycling.

I try to eat 5 times a day, 3 meals and 2 Snacks, eat very clean and im mindful of what and how I am eating. On some days, I dream about eating the contents of the whole fridge, pantry and cupboards hahaha

Are you eating enough, drinking enough fluids, keeping to the 'rules' of not drinking with meals. Have bad habits come back without you really noticing? Do you log everything you eat? Do you exercise every day? Are you being honest with yourself as to what you are eating/drinking?

What are your calories? I also do intermittent fasting, 16/8. I eat 3 times a day: lunch, snack, and dinner. However, I do think that the one most important thing is religiously tracking calories.

IF is awesome, especially when adding weight training. Definitely mixing up your normal routine in both diet and exercise is how to get your body to respond differently and get out of a stall.

I eat six times a day usually. Always Protein first. Never fall short of my Protein goal (100 grams), Water, or taking my Vitamins.

I think we need a lot more information about your situation before we can help you.

so i guess i need to be tracking calories too.. cannot believe i'm actually saying that out loud.. i followed a NO carb diet yrs ago & was never focused on how many calories i consumed per day.. i will have to be more accountable by weighing & measuring bc it could be that i have been taking in TOO many calories?!?! i once read on one of these sites, you don't have to count/measure bc as long as you're following the rules & have Protein, . veggies, the "tool" will stop you from taking in too muich

It's highly unlikely that you are taking in too many calories as long as you are eating Protein first and not grazing all day long. If you put protein first three meals a day and have two protein-only Snacks, you probably can't get much above 1500 calories a day. 300 to 400 calories per meal and 100-200 calories per snack would put you at 1100-1600 calories.
