    Default HELP! Complete Stall and Need Suggestions

    So I have been at a complete stall for about a month now at 165 lbs. I have about 20 - 25 more pounds to lose to be at my goal weight.

    Here's what I am currently doing:

    -Working out at least 4 days a week (Jogging, Orange Theory, Boxing)

    -Eating about 1200 calories a day with still the focus of protein but occasionally snacking on multi-grain pretzels

    -Drinking some wine again (usually about 1-2 glasses about 4 times a week)

    Here's what I am not doing:

    - I don't drink any carbonated beverages

    - I don't eat any fatty foods or red meat

    I still can only eat small amounts at a time but I do eat often. I try not to eat after 7 pm but that doesn't always work depending on my schedule.

    I have read on here some people talk about resets so I am just looking for advice on some ideas to lose the last bit of weight I have to lose. I do know I can probably cut down on the wine but it does taste good again (for awhile it just gave me heartburn).

    Thanks in advance for some suggestions.

    Someone suggested eating healthy fats like avocados. I haven’t gotten the procedure done yet but I am sending you good vibes and better advice on here

    What do YOU think you can change to make the scale move again?
    You probably will have some ideas?
    English is not my first language anymore, so I may and do make mistakes in my spelling, or say things oddly. Please ask me, if you want any clarifications.

    Go to my page and read some of my posts. I have like 40 or 50 pages of posts mostly dealing with stalls. How to bust them and how to never get another one.

    My first guess is the fat and red meat thing you’ve got going. Contrary to popular opinion on here, you need fat and carbs to maintain a healthy metabolism which is what causes weight loss.

    You also don’t mention hydration. Chronic dehydration will kick off a stall in a heartbeat. While on my page, search “four pillars of weight loss”. Read that. Could be a game changer for you.

    Also feel free to reach out via pm for more one on one help if you want.

    Possibly you are not eating enough. Every time I stalled I actually needed to up my caloric intake. I only did low carb for the first 6 months or so. After that I began eating carbs again. I still always focused first on protein and veggies and then the rest. You are at a phase where you will only lose about 1-2 lbs every 7-14 days. As for eating often, I will be 2 years out in November and still eat frequently.

    Might try giving up snacking for a week and see how that goes. If you do carbs maybe do them with a meal.
