weightlose plateau

jasond177

Dropped 50 lbs in 3.5 months. Low carb diet. Hour of cardio a day. Started january 1st. Past month or so I've sat at 185. I stopped running as much and started to lift weights at least once a day. I eat very healthy restricting carbs, fat and sugar. I'm not sure why I'm not even slowly losing. 5'10" 185lb 17 male. Around 2000 caloric goals which I'm almost always under even with 6 meals daily

Age, sex, height, calorie goal?

One thing to consider is when you start strength training that is going to cause more water retention which could be masking some weight loss. As you lose, rate of weight loss will also slow down, so the two things combined could account for being stable for a month.

So be patient, tighten up your logging if necessary, and consider a small drop in kcals if they aren't super low.

At that height and weight you're probably very close to maintenance calories and your margin for error is razor thin.

Check out spark teens, since you may still be growing and you have lost a ton already, you might benefit from focusing more on general fitness and building strength now, I definitely wouldn't advise eating less food.
