STUCK! | Can't Lose Weight

You can't lose weight because your calories are too low! This place can be tough to be. You are eating nothing, and still no progress. How can you solve this problem. Well...perhaps by eating more!

STUDY: Exercise associated hormonal signals as powerful determinants of an effective fat mass loss

Starvation mode implies that you are eating so few calories that the body shuts down fat loss. Metabolism, hormones, the magic fat loss fairy creates a singularity which prevents the very rules of energy to cease to exist!

Why you are eating too little to lose weight!

This literally just happened to me. I was restricting calories and carbs a bit too much and my energy was zapped, my workouts suffered and I got sedentary. I upped my calories and my body started responding beautifully. I started moving more and worked out more intensely. The weight plateau got unstuck. Sometimes a step back at a different angle is the way forward. Great stuff Paul.

Down 110 pounds and have abs for the first time in my life thanks to you Paul! You and John Meadows have made a tremendous difference in my nutrition and exercise. Finally working on a reverse diet after being in a deficit for way too long. Thanks Paul!

I’m plateauing right now, thank you for this video! You’ve helped me so much along my YouTube weight loss journey 💪🏻

Yes, so important!! Not eating enough is the last thing that people would guess can stall weight loss, but it's so true!

Here’s a good example.
I wanted to go you the gym today but was feeling low energy and hungry, so I went and had myself a big bowl of high carb, yet nutritious cereal. I now feel ready to go 💪
If you feel so low energy that you are unable to make it to the gym, eat more!

Really like this one b/c I've struggled with this before. Found that increasing my protein with dinner helps me the most. I can digest loads more tuna, salmon, or any white fish in a large amount much more easily than chicken, beef, etc plus shakes really mess me up. If youre on a budget, cheap chunk tuna in water plus a yummy mustard and maybe even some measured out olive oil is the way to go, so good and light on the stomach!! Great video!

I’m 5’9”, stocky, and had been at 1800 calories for years. Was on vacation and didn’t gain too much after walking everyday. I’m experimenting with your calculator and going to 2300 since I have an intense workout. But yeah, I think something clicked in my brain about not eating enough. My hair does easily falls out as well. No doctors flagged anything though :/

I'm sure this was discussed a few times. For me @ 6' 0" @ 165lbs I thought I'd see full abs..
Wrong! I had to get to 155lbs to see the physique I want. Getting to 165 from 185-190 was no problem but getting from 165 to 155 was almost impossible!

[youcefjosef]

That's a real fact i was eating 1500cal + cardio every day and going to the gym my wight stick on 70kg till I used the calories calculater and today I'm eating 2500cal without cardio and I lost 2kg 🔥👊

I'm a 35 year old man. 5 foot 8 inches. I have hypothyroidism and take levothyroxine 175mcg. I eat 1800 calories a day. I'm 188 trying to get to 165. I have a 12 hour physical job. If I eat more I'm afraid of getting fat

[chrisd]

I just have no energy to workout at all when I cut calories way low it just feels like nap time all day

[dawnt]

I’m a 5’3 55 years old retired female. I run 4 days a week, walk 3-5 miles 7 days a week and lift 5 days a week. I can lose between 1200-1400 calories. If I bumped it up to 17-1800, I’d never lose a thing.

[melochan]

As we lose weight should we re-enter our stats into the calculator to get new numbers?

[markgil]

I'm 55, 6'2", 230# male. I exercise 3 days, cardio 4, eating less that the 1800 kcals recommended by the calculator, take in around 110-160 gm protein over my food intake. I want to get down to my target of 185# - started my routine January 2021. Body comp has changed slightly but still at the 230#. What do I need to do to get out of this plateau? Thanks!

[mattalex]

I've started eating 1, 200 calories but I've been gaining more than 5+ pounds and gaining body fat what should I do I'm afraid of increasing because ill get more fat, what can I do to get back on track and get back to how I used to weigh and even trim down I hope you're able to read my message thanks.

[tinocabral]

What are your thoughts on calisthenics instead of weight lifting (excluding legs, would use weights for that)?
