Not losing weight

destaniekristina

Okay I am very confused.They say eat 1200 calories a day and if you eat less you'll body can go into starvation mode.Lately I have only been eating in the 750-900 range.Im not starving myself im just not hungry and when I try to eat more my stomach hurts from basically stuffing myself to try to meet the 1200 calories.Also,I dont eat after 7pm and I run nightly and I am starting to swim every other day.I try to do Pilates every other day also.I am not losing weight.

Does anyone know whats wrong with me ):

Eating way too little.

Eating way too little.

Agreed, at least eat things with higher cals, cals are energy and if you are doing all that exercise then your body will go into starvation mode. x

Maybe you could try eating peanut butter or other nuts, like almonds or walnuts. They tend to be high calorie and still pretty healthy. That may help you reach at least 1200.

Eat more calorie dense food....peanut butter comes to mind....not a lot of quantity, but high in calories.

agreed- not eating enough, especially if you're exercising so much, you're probably burning all of the calories you've eaten for the day just in your daily rountine. Then by working out, you're burning more calories and you're body is probably freaking out and going, like you said, into "starvation" mode, storing fat .

I agree also that you are eating way too few calories, try to eat foods that are higher in calories if you feel like you cant eat another small meal or something. It will hurt you in the long run if you continue to eat that little.

Your body is holding onto to anything right now due to how low in calories you are eating. That is why you are not losing any weight. What will then happen is because you are not eating enough, your body will then attack your muscles for energy. How much are you trying to lose? Maybe you are already within a healthy weight range?
I would say to bump up your calories (because you do need to), buy some protein powder. Mix that with some water, maybe add a banana and (if you want) some peanut butter. Try that to start!

Up your calories.... Avocado, nuts, and olive oil are easy ways to add calories and not add bulk
