After losing 15 pounds, my weight platued.
I tried eating more then cutting back (in theory it should boost your metabolism so your body doesn't adjust to where you'd have to create a larger caloric deficit), but instead it put two more pounds on me then I dropped the two. Back to square one. 😂👍
So, I think now's the time to pull all the stops. Rest, exercise (incorporate strength training/HIIT since I already workout for my job walking 5 miles a day), take probiotics, and continue to eat clean. I'm trying to at least get my weight down to 140 by September/October so I can work on bulking up. I know you can still build muscle while in a calorie deficit in theory but it's more like you're toning than anything, though your performance/endurance still improves in my experience.
