I have been stuck on weight loss plateau for a month. I ha be been consistently ingesting 600 cals below my dri, but my weight has only increased by 1 lb in the last month. I have tried to increase cals on some days and reduce on others, just to mix things up, but there is no movement. I am also trying to meet macro nutrients especially paying attention to keeping protein and fiber high and carbs and fats low.
I have exercised up to 1000 cals on some days, but my gut just slows down in the next few days and I don't see any downward movement. I don't exercise and the wt is higher by about 1 lb the next day.
I eat mostly protein and keep to 1500 cals one day and the weight is still same or higher the next day. I had consistently lost a total of 15 lbs over the previous 2 months, but then it just halted completely.I still need to lose about 40 lbs to be at the desired BMI.
I have made huge changes in lifestyle, gave up drinking soda every day, I am pretty sure I was eating 3000 cals per day at least before this and lots of sugar and carbohydrates and hardly any protein. Now I have changed it all around, eating salads, fruits, and egg white omelets every day, but my body is still fighting me for keeping every lb of fat in the belly.
How can I overcome this plateau?
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks

Sorry but could 1500 calories be too high for weight loss? I don’t deduct my exercise from calories allotted. I guess if I was super active I could allow myself 100calories over set daily calories for weight loss.
