Help! I think I have a hormone issue. Because right now i'm not at a lean body fat yet. I'm at least at 21% but no matter how much I eat or cheating I do my body still craves and my body never gets full when I eat. Also my weight loss been stalled for 3 months straight and its still not progressing a calorie deficit isn't working anymore either. Please help what can I do??? I just feel like crying because no matter how much working out,Eating right,cheating, Eating in a deficit I do it still seems not to be working anymore like it use to. Its hard for me to remain in a deficit now as well to because my body keeps sending me the ravenous cravings and when I say cravings I mean cravings that not even a person with massive willpower like me can ignore. Please help me thank you!

    We need to know more about you. Height, weight, age, how many calories you're eating, how many are you burning etc. etc.

    If that's you, currently, in the photo, what's to cry about? Seriously. The guy in the photo looks quite fit.

    If you are about to cry about it, it probably is hormones. Maybe get your estrogen checked

    Lol I was just kidding about that one sir! I'm just getting frustrated that's all.

    A doctor would be the person to ask about hormone issues.

    If you think you have a hormone problem, it's time to go back.

    Nobody is qualified to diagnose (much less treat!) you online.

    Good luck!

    You should ask your doctor. However, you're a young thin guy who maintains on 3000 calories. Why do you think you have a thyroid problem?

    When I lift, I am RAVENOUS. Like, eat everything that isn't nailed down ravenous. It's your body telling you it needs the building blocks (extra calories) to make more muscle. It's why people do bulk/cut cycles--you're really hungry when you're building, then after you've gained the muscle you cut back to lose the fat. And it's easier to lose the fat when you have more muscle.
