I can't lose weight wtf???

[moneymanmichael]

I took about a 6 month break from the gym due to a lot of bad things going on in my life, but I am back in the gym and hard at it.

I am on day 15 today of Kris Gethins fat loss plan

My diet consist of:

Protein - Liquid Egg Whites/Chicken/Eye of round steak
Carbs - Sweet potatoe/Oats
+ Green Beans & Broccoli

I was eating like shit for 6 months, olive garden, fazolis, burger king, whatever whenever.. no cardio no weights

I was 215 when I started this diet, 2 weeks later I am still fluctuating 215-218... WTF?????

I have been following his plan hitting the weights hard as fuck, and doing two 20 min cardio sessions a day.

Few questions..

Is it the carbs? Can one cut carbs TOTALLY OUT of his diet, and just eat protein/greens for every meal? Is that safe and is it a good idea to do that? I know i'd be tired as fuck but theres C4 and coffee...

I'm working hard and getting seriously aggravated.

Also, the diet recommended Tilapia, I dont really like fish so is it cool to replace that with chicken?

Someone please throw in some advice, Thanks.

Post your meals and be specific. How many ounces, how meals etc. And are you eating any fats?

Ok like literally

Meal #1 Chicken & Sweet potatoe

Meal #2 Eye of rd steak & green beans

Meal #3 Chicken, Sweet potatoe, Broccoli

Meal #4 (after workout) Eye of rd steak & green beans

Meal #5 Chicken & Green beans

Pretty much it.

Im sure the scale not moving is due to you packing on muscle mass via muscle memory. You obtain gains that you previously had fairly quick when getting back into gym routine after a long break. Try kicking the cardio up a notch for a while and see how your body reacts. IDK what your routines consist of, but I personally love a good core free weight workout for shredding stomache fat.

Muscle memory huh? Is that real? & Is my diet decent enough? Dude that'd be great if that was the case.. I took measurements when I first started, I guesss I will take them again tonight and see if any areas have gotten bigger and if my waist has gotten smaller.

I am in fact a firm believer in the muscle memory theory, as I've experienced it myself. You may have not noticed gains due to your BF%...so you could very well just be bulking. Are you drinking cold drinks? Pick up some green tea pill/drink from a local store as well. Measure out all the protein/carbs you take in in one day and put a number to it. Also while lifting, decrease your breaks to 1min time periods to keep your heart rate up and give your body a cardio like affect while weight training.

other than that, the types of foods you're eating are clean and healthy. But I would need to know your daily protein/carb intake to further help you.

I'm not a professional on this but I think you can do a little better. You could start off by adding a 6th meal. And instead of steak post workout you need a shake "whey" or something. You also need to ad some fats, almonds,olive oil,flaxseed,etc. And maybe mix up your proteins. Egg whites, Turkey, tuna, pork. To much chicken. Also are you weighing you food?

focus your carbs to only breakfast, pre, and post workout.. dont eat steak in meal 2.. do fish.. switch the steak in meal 4 with the chicken in meal 5.. that should help.. just switching the steak to chicken will give you a reduction in calories

if you are on day 15 ( 2 weeks in) maybe the initial increase in lean muscle mass is canceling out the fat loss ...
