Working out and Eating Healty but no weight loss?

So I've been working out 6 days a week for a couple months now. I lost 7 pounds in the beginning just working out and not changing up my diet too much and then I started to plateau at my weight loss so I changed my diet and started eating very healthy. Lots of fruit, veggies, protein, and not a lot of carbs (just the occasional brown rice or whole grain bread). I also switched up my work out routine to some interval training to see if that helped and nothing has changed in fact I've actually gained a pound. I'm 19 years old and weigh 132 lbs (fluctuates between 132-133) and am 5'8". my goal weight is 125. I started out at 138 but have gained back a few which is super frustrating, especially since for a couple weeks I've been counting calories like crazy, I eat between 1,000-1,200 calories a day and with exercise I burn at least 400 calories six days a week. I'm not sure what to do, it could be that I'm eating too few calories but I'm nervous to eat more because I don't want to gain more weight. I drink plenty of water about 3 liters a day

I know some of you will say my weight is fine and not to worry about it but I need to get my weight down for my job and its important that I do because my job is what is paying for my college education.

If anyone has any suggestions or tips it would be greatly appreciated because I'm started to get very frustrated

Lose Weight As You Get Older - Ezine Articles

Recommended Answer:
You're not eating enough calories which is causing your metabolism to slow down.

You also need more carbs. Fiber is important to weight loss and carbs give you the energy to workout.

Also you could be in ketosis which is what happens when you don't eat enough carbs. Its very dangerous and actually hurts your ability to lose weight.


1) Take a free day and pig out to let your body know you're not starving.

2) Then restart eating more calories. Around your BMR for a few days. I usually eat around 50/40/10 (carbs/protein/fat). And try to get more than your RDA for fiber.

3) After that, cycle your calories to confuse your body. Like 1400 one day, 2000 the next.

4) And focus on your metabolism. Add some muscle mass and check your thyroid to see if its functioning properly. Here's a home test:

will snacking on cuties (clementines) make me gain weight?

I usually eat around 1400 calories a day. Included in this intake is about 5 cuties (small clementines) a day. Everything else i eat is usually strictly fruits, veggies, or tofu. Will these clementines hurt me or reverse my weight loss? I'm 5'7 and 125 pounds if that helps.

Lose Weight, No Sweat!

Recommanded Answer:
Haha, of course not! Clementines have vitamin c, calcium, and potassium. Of course, you want to make sure you're also eating lots of other healthy foods and taking a multivitamin, so you're getting all the different vitamins you need.

Good luck!(:

• No, citrus is very healthy

Is it possible I'll loose weight if I quit smoking weed?

I'm just curious if it's possible I might lose weight if I stop smoking. I love smoking, so this is why I don't want to quit if there is no benefit out of it. I smoke usually 2 or 3 times a day. I usually eat a lot when I get home from my friends' house at like 10 at night because of the munchies. When I go a day without smoking I hardly eat anything that day. Any experiences with this?

Thank you! :)

Is Oatmeal Fattening as its a High Carb?

Is Oatmeal fattening as its a high carb? Some people say stay away from all oats when trying to lose weight. Other people say oatmeal is good for you and you can still lose weight. Who is right?

Best Exercise to Lose Weight For You

Recommanded Answer:
It's good for weightloss. :) The fiber in it keeps you full... add some fruit and nuts and you have an etremely nutitious breakfast. some people say to stay away from it, yeah, but there are loads of diferent ways to lose weight...such people usually steer away from all carbs, but to be honest, it's unneccessary. lots of models eat oatmeal for breakfast... Also, some days they eat scrambled or boiled eggs and a slice of wholewheat toast...the best foods to eat for weightloss are fruits and vegetabes, lean meat, eggs, wholewheat bread, oatmeal, muesli (4 servings of starches is enough) drink lots of water and snack on almonds or fruit :) Find your own magic number eg 150g carbs a day work for me :P AND don't obsess :L Lie's too short! Enjoy your food :L Goodluck :)

How do I lose a lot of weight at 15?

I weigh around 102 and I'm fifteen. I try to exercise everyday but I find myself not getting any skinnier. I'm 5'1 and at an ideal weight, but I want to be 95-97. I try not to eat sweets, but I do sometimes. How can I lose weight and get a thigh gap? Do I need to starve myself or throw up like I did before?

Recommanded Answer:
No dont starve yourself because that wont work. you'll hardly lose any weight. i had an eating disorder and I used to starve myself. after about a week or so, i got really dizzy and went to the hospital. I lost a lot of blood.
if you want to lose weight then do this: Drink A LOT of water. at least 8 glasses a day and eat 5/6 small healthy meals every day. and make sure you manage your meals (by that i mean if you ate breakfast at 8 am, do it at the same time next day) and walk for 30 minutes every day. im almost positive you will lose about 12-14 pounds. AND i lost about 2 stones doing that.

• Totally.
• ok sweetheart, i understand youre looking for someone to care and tell you youre not fat or acknowledge your problem, so im going to tell you that you are NOT FAT and you DONT NEED TO LOSE WEIGHT
  
  Im sure youre very attractive the wway you are and im telling you you dont need to lose weight.
• You need to change your life style such as many be every day run for 3 to 4 miles per week day. After the first horrible month you will start to enjoy running because your body will be able to handle 4 miles per day, then after a while you will start running more. After 4 months me and 3 of my friends were running 7 - 8 miles per day. And when your running 4-8 miles every week day take weekends off, you will loose the weight you need to and be able to eat more at the same time. Your legs will have a good tone to them without showing muscle. You also feel a lot better every day because your body is doing what God made it to do. Enjoy and Good luck !!
• you are probably gonna gain height soon, so your body is holding onto any fat it can so you can grow. you are not overweight, trust me. I am 5'6 and weigh 135 pounds and I don't have any extra fat on my body, and i'm not particularly muscular, so you don't either.
• ok your not fat for 1, and 2 to get a "thigh gap" maybe just try some yoga, or dancing that uses your legs because maybe your not working on certain parts you may be working out but not getting the results you want because you weren't working on the right parts. you don't need to starve yourself or make your self throw up. i never did that. you don't need to do that! maybe if your like a lot of people that can gain weight faster because of your metabolism you can try methods to raise your metabolism which will help you not gain weight(?) i have a naturally high metabolism so i don't gain weight >.<
• If your starving yourself and throwing up typically your NOT healthy. If you are doing these things u need to seek help. You want to help yourself get healthy. That includes long Term health you don't need your body to have health issues when your 30 or a heart attack by 40. You have to eat right. Cut down on white carbs {your potatoes, fries, white starchy food like white bread} and increase your veggies. Lay off the fruit or high sugar things like pop or soda, fast food. Try googling Winsor Pilates 20 min Workout on You Tube. It's a quick cheap workout. That with a hour of Cardio a day and you should be good to go. Remember Muscle eats fat in your body so you need proper nutrition to help muscle grow. Stay away from scales because they lie. You might be a higher weight because muscle is increasing and muscle weighs more than fat. Don't let the scale fool you if it starts to go up one month from the next. Invest in a tape measure that way u can she the results faster.
• You are the perfect weight. Everybody wants to weight that much. but its not enough. I'm not saying gain weight (that would suck), but losing more isn't a good idea. I know being under 100 sounds like a good thing, but if you ever get back above 100 after being down there, it is so awful. I would stay right where you are, you don't have to do anything else. And dont go back to that place, hon, nobody would want that.

Can you lift same amount of weight if you lose weight?

Also they say that you can't lose weight without losing muscle. True or false?

Recommanded Answer:
If you lose body fatYouc can lift the same if not more. MUSCLE WEIGHT WOULD PROBABLY BE GENERAL, not limited to 1 group.
Yes, you can lose fat without losing muscle,Whenn your bodydoesn'tt get enuf to eat it digests the fat stored for that reason, after that goes the muscle, then the internal organs.

• If you add weight lifting and muscle conditioning to your weight loss routine, as well as have sufficient protein in your diet, you will be able to maintain your muscle mass just fine.
• you can lift more with less weight
  a 200 pound guy with 6% body fat will have bigger muscles stronger mucles then a 300 pound guy with 60% body fat.
  I was 240lbs i could do maybe 5 pushups i trained hard for a year got down to 180lbs and could do handstand pushups with ease my lifting capcity was increased nearly by 5 times.
  you gain muscle to burn fat.
  but it all depends how you start out.
  if you have only 5% body fat and weigh 200lbs and you lose 20lbs your lifting ability will go down it all depends how good a shape you are in to start.
