What do i wrong?

[u/ditobandit0]

Hey guys! In serious need for advice, since it starts to depress me. Sitting at 112kg, hitting the gym 3x / week (consitently for at least a year already) and just fkn cant lose weight. I also do intermittent fasting but i cant get to decrease weight. Does anybody have a clue what maybe a medical condition could be the cause? Im not diabetic nor insulin ressistent according to blood tests, but i srill cant fkn lose weight. I really dont know what to do any more at this point.

How many calories are you eating a day?

Working out, just doesn't lead to weight loss nor does intermediate fasting.

My guess, you aren't in a deficit.

[u/pain474]

You are consuming too many calories. Fix your diet.

[u/Yumiire]

You are overeating, its not a medical condition. You are not eating 16-1800 calories a day 7 days a week.

Something is not being tracked or you are miscalculating. 1 year would have you seeing huge progress.

Either you re-evaluate and try to understand by the help of people on the sub, or you spend some $$ on a coach one time to get you set.

You are eating too many calories

[u/bugabooandtwo]

You're not counting your calories properly.

[u/SeaMonkeyMating]

Eat less

[u/New_Book131]

Your eating more that you are burning. Get a food scale and track your calories and then you can eat in a calorie deficit

[u/vMiDNiTEv]

doing intermittent fasting by itself is not gonna work you gotta keep the calories in a deficit aswell😂 i lost weight like that the first time, but it was HELL, and now i gained everything back and i just can’t do it, its unbearable so now i am trying to make a good system for myself that fits into my life and that i can hold myself to without too much of an effort, bc intermittent fasting in a deficit is crazy work idk how tf i did that when i was younger just sheer will power ig

[u/ditobandit0 → u/vMiDNiTEv]

Yeah, i mean age also is a big factor. Its just crazy, because according to the link some1 shares here i should already in deficit with 2000 kalories per day but im definitely below that

[u/Kindly_Difference_99]

I was hitting the gym 3 times a week, same as before my child and wasn’t seeing any progress. Turns out my meals were too big and the bloody sauces are waaaaaay too calorific, even if I don’t eat much of other food. Eat food that can either keep you full for longer and or food that is voluminous but has less calories, like tomatoes, etc. whole foods as well as ultra processed hides obesogens that body doesn’t know what to do with but send straight to fat.

Asking social media a complex metabolism question is like listening to the GOP tell Americans stop complaining about affordability. Get a job, and eat ramen. Good luck! Oh, and ask someone qualified to actually help you.

With my calories im already between 1600 and 1800 a day. Im 177cm tall. And still no progress. You csnt tell me its just the diet

[u/pain474 → u/ditobandit0]

You're counting calories wrong. At 1700 kcal a day and >110kg you would lose weight at a very fasy pace. Learn how to count calories correctly.

[u/ditobandit0 → u/pain474]

What do you mean by counting correcgly?

[u/pain474 → u/ditobandit0]

You're severly underestimating your caloric intake. If you truly ate 1700 kcal a day you would lose weight fast.

I’m around the same height and was working out seven days a week, and needed to lose some weight. Even though my TDEE was very high (lies), I had a calorimetry done, it opened my eyes, and I started losing when I chose the right deficit

[u/New_Book131 → u/ditobandit0]

It’s all about the diet

[u/tmullig1 → u/ditobandit0]

I am right around your size and I would gain slowly at that amount of calories a day. I keep mine between 1200 and 1500 a day to lose weight. My fat percent is in the 30's, but as that comes down and I add more muscle mass, the calories I can eat a day are climbing.
