I am a 5'11 male that started my diet at 200lbs, and so far it's been 4 weeks and the outcome doesn't make any sense to me. For the past 4 weeks I've been counting calories to restrict myself to 1200 calories a day, some days lower, so I can achieve around 4-6 lbs a month of weight loss. I have consistently weight myself and it's always fluctuated between 200-198. I simply do not understand how this is possible. I've been at home the whole time, but I try to walk for 30-60 mins a day and make sure I don't go over my daily calories. Why am I only 1-2 pounds down? According to the calculations I should be significantly more, like 5-10, due to initial water weight losses that people experience in the first two weeks of dieting. I never experienced any water weight related drop in weight. In the first two weeks I went up (how?) From 198 to 200, indicating gain, or at least no weight loss. There is no visible change in the mirror. I'm just wondering how is this thermodynamically possible? How is a 200lb man who is lightly active maintaining weight on 1200 calories? Even accounting for metabolic adaptation, I have never heard of any adaptation this extreme. For context I don't feel any different. No significant loss of energy/lethergy, no spike in hunger (I am actually not even getting that hungry despite the low calories) and no change in cravings, as I still crave the same food I have before the diet. Can someone please make sense of this for me? I struggle to understand the reasoning behind this.
