Working out a lot

I am 5 months post VSG and 60 lbs down. I have about 20 left to lose. I work out 6 days a week 2 or 3 times a day but 20-30 min each: running/walking/weights. I keep stalling and wonder if I'm only taking in 900-1000 calories and very low carbs if it's not enough and I should increase. Anyone have experience with this?

Well stalling is normal. but 1200 calories would probably be better.

Increase your water intake and raise your heart rate up a little more! Your body has gotten use to the usual workout your doing!


All that working out and so little calories equals stalls and weight gain in the long run. Try to eat a bit more, you'll see it start to move again.

I should add, you should consider upping your carbs on weight train days, at least. You'll burn them off anyway. Your body will need them.
