For the past month I have been running a 1500 calorie deficit daily but my weekly loss is 1kg the same as when I ran a 1000 deficit why am I not losing a extra 500 grams a week

    why on earth are you having a 1500 calorie deficit? That is so dangerous, why would you want to do this to your body? I really hope you are 300+ pounds

    I'm on my last 4 kg after losing over 30 kg I just thought I will try power through it

    That's a great way to lose muscle mass. You shouldn't be aiming form more than .25 kg a week now.

    I lift heavy 5 days a week and eat minimum 200 grams of protein

    ... oh my goodness...

    you are damaging your body, you are doing yourself no favors even at a 1000 calorie deficit.. you shouldn't even be eating THAT little.. your body is going to eat itself, you are at risk of not only losing lean muscle and damaging your BMR, but you could also be risking your lean organs, heart, liver, kidneys, these are all lean muscle in your body and if you aren't eating your body will use those for protein. organ damage is irreversible. You could also die.
    you could also lose all your hair..

    Didn't know that sounds really bad but I suppose I'm lucky I m at goal now and eating at a 250 calorie daily surplus to put on some muscle

    So you're working out to increase lean muscle mass loss?

    Maintaining lean muscle mass is enough protein, strength training AND enough calories.

    ... then what was the point of your last post? how does one go from a -1500 calorie deficit to a +250 surplus in 40 minutes?

    I was just wondering why last month I only lost 4kg instead of the 6kg the deficit should have given me
