Hello everyone!
So I've been losing weight consistently for 2 months now, and went from 88kg to 81kg, and it's been great and I notice great difference, not only because I weigh less, but also because I feel I'm almost never hungry anymore, and it's great!
But anyway, I am a 20yo male on a vegan (and controlled) diet and I eat around 1900kcal a day, and I mostly overestimate how much I eat so I'm pretty sure I never surpass my limit and end up eating <1800kcal sometimes. I always try to get my macros right but obviously because I'm on a low calorie diet it's harder and always get 10-20g less of everything, but I prioritize my protein intake so I get enough of that. I do excercise too, I do calisthenics for 5-6 hours a week, swim for 3 hours a week and bike 1 hour a week.
For the last 7 days, I've been stuck on exactly 81kg, no less, and sometimes a little more because of glycogen and water and all that. Some people say it might not be a plateau per se and it just takes a little time to start losing weight again, because 2 months is supposedly a far too short amount of time to get to that plateau.
I... just don't know, I might try to do more cardio, or maybe try getting some thermogenic supplement so it helps me burn while I can't work out. Maybe lowering my calorie count will help? But damn, how much should I eat, 1500 calories? It already feels like an unhealthy deficit when I eat -1800. Anyway, I'd do anything I possible (without affecting my health), but I'm not frustrated and I definitely want to keep going. Or just maybe I'm overthinking and things will go smoothly again in a couple days-weeks.
Any advice will be much appreciated, thank you!!
