I have the hardest time losing weight. I’m so happy for everyone who can, but it really bothers me when someone “stopped drinking alcohol or soda and lost 50 lbs”. I ate clean for almost a year, exercised hard, worked on a farm daily, and ate 800-1000 calories a day for a year. Prior to that year I had been eating 1500-2000 based from the nutritionist. And took a stimulant (for ADD, not specifically weight loss). During that entire year I lost 4 lbs. 4. I have up to 2 bottles a wine a year, which would still be an exaggeration. Never smoked/done drugs. My Fitbit says I burn 4000 calories a day at minimum (this is before workouts are added).So I’m definitely creating a calorie deficit. I went to a personal trainer and their analysis is that I had a ton of muscle developed from exercise...under my fat. He was really blown away that by having muscle mass as high as mine that I wasn’t burning more fat when at rest. He measured it on a machine. I don’t want a gastric bypass (I don’t eat a ton anyways) and my BMI isn’t high enough. I asked on medical boards and they told me I was either a unicorn or lying. So frustrated. Anyone have a similar issue and found a way to overcome it? No matter how hard? Should I alternate days that I eat? Is that a thing?
