I have been helping my go for 6 weeks and she has been following everything exactly as lined out. I live with her and work with her also so I help her prepare all her meals and know there isn't any behind the scenes extra calories being taken in. She has only had one cheat meal in that time, mainly because we get very creative with meals and protein desserts.
She went from 185 to 175 the first 3 weeks but has maintained the last three weeks. She is on 1750 calories with her macros being 40 pro 35 fat and 25 carbs. Diet is usually as follows:
Team skip blend shake added fiber with small amount of fruit and coconut oil
Quest bar
Lean meat veggies with fat in for of almonds or grass fed butter or natty pb
Lean meat with sweet Potatoe and small amount of fruit
Lean meat or team skip blend with added fat of coconut oil or natty pb
She also uses fish oil
She trains 3rd per week with weights alternating upper and lower body with high intensity cardio first thing in the morning on her off days for 15 minutes.
It's hard for me to figure out the next plan of action for her cause I was able to diet down with very high calories. I don't want to just keep dropping calories and end up with very low calories and stalled weight loss before goals are met.
I've thought of 2 very low calorie days on Sunday and Thursday with the other days staying at 1750 or possibly intermittent fasting. I know we are doing a recomp because I see changes but it's discouraging for her not to see at least a pound per week and I don't want her to lose her motivation.
Any help would be appreciated.
