Are you eating back your calories with the amount of exercise you're doing?

its called recomp and its a very slow process of gaining muscle and losing fat. its better to bulk and then switch to fat loss

You're looking for the easy way out. If you're thinking about weight loss surgery. Try being on a calorie deficit for at least a year.

Depression is something I am acutely aware of because of my family history, so am neither scared or bothered about discussing it, but thank you for your sensitivity in suggesting it. I appreciate that. :) I actually take trazadone at the moment, but started taking it before working out and discussed it with the doctor who…

What type of exercises were you doing at the gym?

It looks like you lost weight. Are those weights daily? What is the average weekly weight loss & when did you start? & if you are eating a lot of food that is processed & full of sodium you'll be retaining water

Take a video & post it

WIth your current profile photo. Looks like u're doing a great job. Keep bulking :) Nice job

If I were you. I would eat more. Especially if you are trying to gain muscle and strength. 2000 calories isn't enough. Try to bulk and then when you are ready do a cut cycle. I struggle when I don't eat at a surplus. & it looks like u're eating at maintaince

lavazza coffeee mmmmmmhmm

Eat at a surplus, gain muscle than do a deficit and lose fat. while lifting lifting lifting

its all in your head. You won't take anyone's advice. If you aren't measuring your foods than you can easily overestimate your calories. Find a different doctors if you think its medical and not psychosomatic !

are u measuring with a food scale

You need a psychiatrist. This is the only thing you post. If you're not happy with your body thats because you are SKINNNY FAT. The only way you're going to fix that is LIFT HEAVY, EAT AT A SURPLUS. Then when you're happy with what you put on lose fat and maintain the muscle you added at a calorie deficit. I'm 5'4 138 lbs…

agreed

Like I said its because you are losing fat and maintaining muscle or you're going through a recomp, which takes a long time. When most people use the word "tone", it basically means trying to get to a lower body fat %. Tone can mean different things to many. Let me clarify, you can get toned on a calorie deficit. I had…

If you don't open up your diary we can't fully help you.

Your weight is fine. If you're not happy with the way your body looks than start lifting weights. You didn't ruin your metabolism. You over ate the amount of calories your body was taking in. This metabolism theory is a myth. It's calories in and calories out. Unless you have some medical problem such as your thyroids. By…

Why do you troll

I wouldn't worry abt 2 kg. Stop looking at the scale & start keeping measurements.

You are young. Take advantage that you can make the most gains right now. You can easily get lean with the body you have. In order to build muscle you need a calorie surplus. It's the easiest way. Staying at maintenance will take you too long. This is the time you want to gain muscle. When you feel like you gained enough.…

You are already at a healthy weight. You cannot spot reduce. If you do not like what you see in the "mirror" It may be because you are "Skinny fat". The only way you'll be able to get tone, lean or a smaller waist is if you start eating at a small surplus & start lifting. When you feel like you put enough muscle than go…

The instructor is such a cry baby. The personal space was invaded by the instructor. If the instructor is interfering with her space. She has the right to move her hand away.

We keep emphasizing for you to eat more. However, we don't hear you saying " I'll increase my calories." The foods that you're eating are not enough for you to get all your nutrients. On top of that fat is essential for your body. Especially, your "brain cells". Keep under eating and you'll start developing illnesses from…

You're not eating enough calories. No way you're getting all your nutrients 20 g of fat & 1000 calories? Increase to 1200!

If you want "lean legs," u need to keep lifting heavy with your lower body too. If you're trying to lose fat than you must stay on a calorie deficit. For pear shapes we tend to lean out in our upper bodies first. So, if you start to noticing that you're too lean in the upper body. You may want to change your goals and do a…
