I have a question about the episode s4/e08 Demystifying Metabolism for the Endurance Athlete with Dr. Stephanie Compton, PhD, RD and the clip Weight Loss Insights. I'm considering an 800 Cal diet like David Goggins. Currently, I am at 1400 calories, but after losing my first 30lbs, I wasn't seeing any more progress, so I went down to a 1200-calorie diet and maintained it for about 6 months, doing 45 minutes of Burn Boot Camp 5 days per week. However, there was no weight loss on the scale at all—just fluctuations of ±6 lbs from day to day. I've kept the 30lbs off for a little over a year, but I'm not moving and have not been for the past 6 months. I have PCOS, or what health professionals refer to as a form of PCOS, so I have had no luck losing weight. I was hoping to find insight or recommendations to step it up.
I have a question about body fat and muscle maintenance. I suffered from anorexia and bulimia from the age of 13 until 28, with my lowest weight being 72 lbs. After 28, my weight fluctuated between 180 and 110 lbs, and I developed a binge/restrict relationship with food and exercise. About five years ago, I started consistently weight training and dropped all cardio-based workouts. I am now 45 and find that no matter my body weight, I can't seem to drop below 25 percent body fat. Whenever I go into any type of deficit, my body immediately loses muscle. What can I do to address this issue?
If I've been trying to lose body fat for years and have been in and out of a calorie deficit, what advice could you give me, especially considering I have binge eating patterns on weekends?
