Plateau...

I have lost 15 kg/30lb in the last year through a combination of diet and exercise. I am being pretty good with my food intake, not eating too many or too few calories, and am exercising regularly (strength as well as cardio). I have another 15 kg/30lb to go, and the scale is just not budging. Any ideas?

    Hi

    Good work so far. I suggest trying some intermittent fasting, there is a lot of info on the web. I personally enjoy watching the Hodge Brothers videos on youtube...they are hilarious and make some good points. I have started it about 3 weeks back and to be honest it matches perfectly with my lifestyle.
    Good luck, looking forward to your feedback.

    Well done with losing 30 lbs! Nice feeling to be halfway there, isn't it?

    You might want to open your diary so everyone can take a peek..

    Not a professional here but recently had a plateau.

    Followed some advice that helped me.

    1-don't discourage. you may actually be building muscle and still losing fat. the scale wont show that.
    2-i added a green tea (with no sugar or with stevia) after each meal.
    3-while maintaining you calories for your desired weight loss, switch your diet around (for example i reduced carb and increased protein and fat, if you already had low carbs and you don't have a gluten problem maybe increase your carbs (good non sugary) and lower protein and fat) then monitor it for a few weeks and adjust as needed.
    4-change your exercises to a high intensity less rest to maybe "shock" your metabolism a bit.

    It worked for me. may not work for you.
