could be some sort of body recomposition going on in the background. Stick with it and let your body catch up.

Have you considered taking measurements instead of (or as well as) weighing?

D00dle, my weight bothers me a lot even if I do measurements.. it’s just in my head and I can’t accept this figure..

може бути перед місячними набір ваги, але питання в тому скільки калорій тобі потрібно щоб скидати вагу. мені треба до 1100, бо навіть з 1200 вага стоїть… також у мене залежить від їжи, 1400 калорій з червоним мясом - я наберу 1кг, а на куриці й рибі ті ж калорії і я можу скинути

Менше 1200 вживати - то дуже небезпечне діло, спочатку скидаєш, а потім все повернеться і навіть більше.. проходила вже таке. застосунок нарахував мені 1600, але я набирала від того, тож перейшла на 1400. намагаюся урізати вуглеводи зараз. Подивимось, що буде наступного тижня після переходу на салати та рибу 👀

1400 cals seems a bit low.
particularly if your gym training as well.
1500 cals is reco for females that's without exercise.
If you cut cals too deep. your body will slow metabolism.

Sometimes the body platos. And will not budge for a couple of weeks keep at it as it will start coming off again. It’s like the body’s fighting losing the weight as a defence mechanism. You can beat it just stick to it you got this

Neocent, this app calculated 1600 kcal for me, but when I had that amount I only gained, besides I always had a few kcal left at the end of the day so could have an extra biscuit or something 👀 so decided to cut them a bit to avoid such situations. Ideally I should have 50% carbs, 30% fats, 20% protein. But it’s super hard to maintain 🫠

timing of food intake is important - I had weight stalling after having plain salad just because it was after 7-8pm. also, if calories are locked in complex meals, like food with too many ingredients - result also was disappointing despite low calorie intake. someone already mentioned periods.. it would be: pick and choose reasoning, unfortunately.

Ignore others advice on increasing carb intake. Try to keep carbs around 100g a day if you are trying to lose fat. If your training a lot. You may need to bump up carb intake a little more. You'll need to experiment to find what works for you. There is no one size fits all.
Why keep carbs low ? Carbs stimulate insulin. Insulin stops release of fat from fat cells. Fat release from fat cells is controlled by hsl enzyme. Insulin switches off hsl enzyme. Keeping insulin low helps body to burn fat for fuel. The inverse is true tho. Insulin stores body fat by switching on lpl enzyme. Storing fat is one of insulins primary functions. It's does this by controlling blood sugar. As blood sugar rises (when you eat sugar or other carbs), insulin stores it as fat in fat cells. Go and Google hsl enzyme and lpl enzyme. Don't take my word. People give well meaning advice. But don't understand how the body works.
Another person suggested don't eat late. Thats good advice. Eat your carbs in the morning or for lunch. Don't eat carbs after 2 or 4pm. Why? cos you'll be sitting on coach watching netflix and won't burn off the carbs. They get converted and stored as fat if you can't use them.
