QUOTE(laucy.my @ Sep 29 2016, 11:28 AM) My BMR is now 1479. I've been hovering around 78kg and 79kg for almost 2 weeks, still not really knowing what to do since I've changed a few things but no results. I found this article rather interesting though http://www.aworkoutroutine.com/starvation-mode/ let me know what you think. I think it's unlikely that I count my food wrong but I'll try be more careful now see if it's different. There is no way you can NOT lose fat on 1200 cals and below for a female. No way. I know, because having coached female clients, the laws of thermodynamics still apply. It's either under reporting calories or water retention which can mask fat loss/weight loss.

QUOTE(bafukie @ Sep 29 2016, 06:51 PM) Water retention is highly unlikely if the carbs are low... Unless sodium intake is high? Weight loss is not a linear trend either. There will be plateau...somewhere somehow... My weight plateau for abt a month before going down again... Not too concern as thr key is to be consistent Wrong. Don't underestimate the effects of chronic cortisol elevation. Especially in women. Cortisol, renin angiotensin system, water retention. Women as light as 40-45kg can experience fluctuations of 4-5 kgs even.

QUOTE(laucy.my @ Sep 30 2016, 06:33 AM) I did, but it was extremely slow. Lost a bit more when I bumped up to 1700 cal and started IF, so now averaging around 1300-1400 cal. The strange thing is that when I didn't workout I'd lose weight just by watching food (hurt knee 2 weeks ago) but since I went back to the gym weight stays put or goes up. Is there anything that can be done about water retention if that's the problem? Yes. Stop doing IF, stop getting stressed, stop obsessing and stop going so low cals.
