I literally just want to rant a little, it doesn't matter if anyone reads this
First is the fact that I've been eating consistently 1500 calories (average) for nearly two months now. That's been great, I've lost tons of weight, my complaint is that I basically lost nothing in the last two to three weeks. It's fluctuated up and down quite a lot but right now I'm basically the same point I was 2 and 1/2 or 3 weeks ago. For my weight and activity that should be a nearly 1500 to 2000 calorie a day deficit depending on who you ask. And yet, nope.
And before you ask, I'm definitely counting accurately. I mean I skip a few things like cooking spray and gum but there's no way I'm eating even a hundred calories more than I'm recording and even if I was eating 500 calories more I should still be losing upwards of two pounds a week.
But let me finish by saying that I know this is probably just some weird plateau and water weight being weird but damn is it annoying. It has no actual effect on my resolve. If anything I would eat less except it probably isn't healthy to do so.
The second and completely unrelated thing is that I recently went to the ER, unrelated to weight loss, And while I was there The doctor took a minute, probably too long, to talk to me about health. I had mentioned that I've lost a good bit of weight in the last few months. He asked how and I said just counting calories.
Here's what annoyed me, he said counting calories is fine but then suggest that I look up some YouTuber for better health in my diet. Even though I immediately was suspicious, even doctors have little education on weight loss, I checked it out and yep. Basically one step short of liver King. You're allowed to eat fruits but vegetables are evil and will kill you apparently. Also you absolutely need to be eating more beef organs.
My only real rant here is that a medical doctor basically told me not to eat vegetables. Why is it that when I tell people I've had great success (with the exception of the last three week) counting calories they suddenly want to tell me about every asinine diet they've heard of.
