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.
How do you overcome weight loss plateaus, as discussed in the episode 184. A Holistic Approach to Building Strength & Improving Health with Sal Di Stefano and the clip Metabolism Management? I'm 29, I work out at least 4 times a week, more like 6 if I include cardio days. Athlytic says I'm at a 300-500 calorie deficit when I eat around 1,800 calories per day, but I feel like I've hit a plateau.
