DIPSLICK Posted November 14, 2012 Share three years ago i clocked in at a heavty 128kg, went to a dietician with a good steady diet and exercise i got down to 110 kg, and stopped dead with losing weight, went back to her asked if i could change the diet since nothing is helping she said no its a plateau i must push through, months later no change. went to dietician number 2 she put me on a high protein low carb " shock" diet droped down to 105kg.......she then put me on a balnced diet, now i am stuck at 100kg . i train min of 8 hours a week(min) i have done 3 sani2c and towers and and and..(when i train for a race i train 12-14 hours a week) i have done all the blood tests and all the tests(hormone,thyroid,and and ) had a full blood work test, the only thing that was slightly low was my testosterone and the specialist said " it is slightly low but not low enough yet for treatment" i know all over weight people say they dont cheat, but i am stupid strict, i even fight with the wife when she does not take the absolute best option even with stuff like yoghurt, i know weight loss is 80% diet and exercise is a small portion, but it must count and surely i should loose........long story short i dont think its the diet it must be something else, does anyone have advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcza Posted November 14, 2012 Share Kinda the same as Tim Noakes - http://www.dietdoctor.com/lchf If you're not losing weight then you need to eat less or train more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krl747 Posted November 14, 2012 Share The question is - are you overweight? This is a question most of us miss IMO. What is your fat %? If you weigh 100kg with 16% body fat there you are doing very good. I weigh 91kg with 19% body fat and the Dietitian says we should get to 16% which will mostly probably get me down to 16% body fat Edited November 14, 2012 by krl747 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ84 Posted November 14, 2012 Share Do you track your calories in and out,because that is the only thing that matters with weight. A high protein low carb diet can assist,but what helps as well in upping your good fats. You must also try to up your metabolism,do you eat every 2.5 to 3 hours? Maintain a steady inflow of food and your body wont see the need to hold on to any excess nutrition.

MONS Posted November 14, 2012 Share Make sure you are eating ENOUGH to feed your excercise routine - had the same problem and after going to a sports nutritionist as a last resort - turns out I was eating way too little - affected basal metabolic rate etc. ( I do several spinnnig sessions a week and also run once a week and our weeekend sat/sun cycles) Body just hangs on to whatever you feed it . The difficult thing is to up kj intake and visits twice a month to measure fat/muscle changes. Timely procedure but should be worth it in the end. Maybe you should see someone in the line of a sports nutritionist ( I went to TUKS HPC) - they seem to be a bit more in tune to a training routine. If all else fails - up your training a bit and add a couple of morning interval sessions to boost metabolism. My 2c worth.... Good Luck.

I know how hard it is to lose a couple of kgs. However, I find that the low (no) carb diet really works for me. Also drinks loads of water. Try not to eat too much AFTER training or racing. Yes take the recovery drink/shake but don't eat too much. I'm often guilty of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
