I'm 35, a father of two beautiful girls, and I've been working as a mailman in a delivery service for the past year. I am 185 cm tall and weigh 96 kg, having previously weighed up to 155.6 kg a few years ago. Since then, I flipped my life upside down by changing my diet, tracking calories and macros, and building a solid home gym, where I train almost every day, 5 to 6 times per week. I've made good progress, but I feel like I've reached a plateau. That's why I bought your programs, and I hope this will help me further with my goals. I'm around 20% body fat and have always wanted to be between 12% and 15%, but it hasn't been easy to get there. I have a huge appetite despite eating 220 to 250 grams of protein and 2500 calories every day for the past two years. I have a lot of activity through my job, averaging 18,500 steps a day. Is it possible that I'm eating too little? Should I eat more now that I have started anabolic training, or should I stick to a deficit? I'm just a little afraid of getting much heavier.
I'm currently running MAPS Anabolic, hitting 8,000-10,000 steps per day, and inconsistently tracking my calories and macros, averaging about 2,400 calories per day. My daily step goal used to average around 17,000-20,000, and I maintained a weight of around 205-210 lbs while teaching a high volume of classes. Now, I am struggling to drop below 246 lbs and 30+% body fat. I feel like I’m doing everything right in terms of exercise but am having difficulty getting the fat off my body without tracking for the rest of my life or following a fad diet. What can I do to achieve my weight loss goals?
