    Sounds like you have plateaued, I am definitely no PT but you might need to do 1 or 2 things because your metabolism has possibly calibrated to what your currently doing and it needs a kick in the *kitten* in the right direction. 2 ways of doing that: work in 2 high intensity training sessions a week; and/OR a cheat meal.
    How the cheat meal works is that is kicks the metabolism into digesting the excess calories and resets it into 'high-burning' mode. so the cheat meal is just as much metabolic as it is psychological. Absolutelty blow it out your *kitten* with the cheat meal, you may feel sick & wanna puke, and it's your body's way of saying "um, excuse me but what the hell?....we've only had to deal with brassica's, protein and clean fats...WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" But that one cheat meal will jumpstart your body to up it's fat burning/metabolising game and you will benefit results as long as you eat clean & stay active for the other 6days meals. Good luck. Hope you get some downward movement in your numbers asap!
    The high intensity training works in the same manner: shocks the body from its normal homeostasis due to high levels of output. On a low cal diet it will force the body to create energy by using fat stores to make energy available for the body to burn = cals burnt.
    :wink:

    1. Metabolism runs 24/7. Where do people get the idea that the metabolism needs to be started like a car? VROOM!!!
    2. No need for HIIT at all. Weight loss is ALL about calorie deficit.
    3. cheat meals can derail progress very easily. Once again, the metabolism does not need to be kick started. I am pretty sure OP is not dead as the metabolism stops when someone dies.
    4. Don't have to go low cal. All one needs to do is eat less calories than they need to maintain their current weight/TDEE...that's it.
    5. Cheat meals will NOT jump-start the body fat burning process. Eating less calories than you need to maintain your current weight will cause fat loss if you keep it up, though.
    6. Weight loss isn't about the foods that you should or shouldn't eat. At the risk of sounding like a broken record....." All one needs to do is eat less calories than they need to maintain their current weight/TDEE...that's it." Yep.

    Please post scientific sources for all you claims, please...I'm sure many would like to read the sources.

    No not a sugar crash because. It's different types of sugar.....appke juice is ground up apples- yet it sugar also.

    Apple juice is not ground up apples. It's the liquid you get when you apply an enormous amount of pressure to apples. It has little to no fiber, depending on whether it is filtered.

    And your overall prescription of the same meals everyday (oatmeal for breakfast, popcorn for lunch, chicken or fish with veggies for dinner) is unnecessarily restrictive and won't lead to weight loss unless the amounts of those food that someone consumes leaves them in a calorie deficit. And a calorie deficit based on completely different foods from the ones you recommend would work just as well.

    From personal experience, I was either putting on weight or plateauing because I :
    A )wasn't measuring food
    B )not logging properly
    C ) fooling myself that "one more" wouldn't add much
    D ) wasn't drinking enough water or eating enough clean, good fibre

    Readdress and scrutinise your meal plans, exercise,activity level and then get into a routine, stick to it and account for cheat-treats when out socialising etc
    Good luck!

    Eat healthier, weigh and measure your food, increase exercise, cut out as much liquid calories as possible and drink more water, get plenty of rest. Cause it's true if you don't get the rest you need you will crave all the junk food which could cause you to cave in to that. I've done that.

    Calories too high for your body height. Try this : Breakkfast - un-cooked oats *oatmeal dry- add apple juice in it and raisins a little sugar. LUNCH: eat popcorn Dinner: Meat and veggies of some kind. NO Pork ( makes people gain weight and causes body sickness)- eat chicken or fish . Eat like this every day . . . Once a month have a cheat day -when you can have pizza or cake but that's only - one day a month.

    NO.... just, NO
