5’10” male, now in mid 30s. 10 years ago I lost quarter of my body weight in 4 months (247 -> 180 lbs) through strict dieting and heavy exercising. I maintained it for 3 years and kept my exercise routine (5 miles running a day, 1 hour strength training for 6 days a week).
Weight starting creeping back on me about 10 lbs/year despite me dieting and exercising more vigorously. I just couldn’t stop it whatever I did. I maintained 1000-1500 cals daily while adding 20 miles bike rides daily with no luck.
3 years ago I started my journey again with very restrictive dieting (fruit only days/1000 cals or lower daily/no carb weeks/keto/ all this crap) reaching 205 before rebounding to 247 again. I am now at 237 and I just cannot do this anymore. I have been maintaining 1700 cals for the past year and working my ass like crazy but cannot get anything. I just fluctuate +/-3 lbs every week and that’s it. I am absolutely demoralized and this is my last try to salvage anything before quitting on this all.
I weigh all my food religiously! I log everything, even when I binge, to make sure I am within my daily intake. I eat only lean meat, and chicken breast. I do not eat dee fried food, and when I scramble eggs I use spray-on oil. I do not take any sugar in my drinks at all. I only eat whole wheat bread and do not use any sauces/condiments. I hadn’t had grapes for the past 5 years till last month. I am mentally 200% exhausted. I feel I want to eat food to harm my weight because I am fed up.
What can I do!! Pleas help
