27M. I have lost 5 BMI points, down to 30 from 35, in 5-6 months. I did simple CICO and resistance training (PPL split).
I am a bit exhausted of the caloric deficit now and want a break. I have felt like this before and taken a maintenance phase of 1 week and then continued cutting. Now that I am no longer obese, I feel less inclined to continue.
Should I recompose at my current weight or should I continue cutting? Ultimately I do want to get to at least 28 BMI or lower.
Any help and advice is greatly appreciated.
I would keep cutting. But I grew up fat and was obsessed with losing weight-until I wasn’t. Once I was happy with my weight did I worry about body composition.
I grew up fat. I have lost 20 kg twice in my life but gained it all back and more. I don’t want to gain back anything this time, even if I lose a little less.
In that case I’d suggest sticking to a aloric deficit and getting used to a certain intake.
Try eating most of your calories on satiating foods. Potatoes etc.
I have cut out ultraprocessed food entirely from my diet and eat junk food only once a week. All other meals are whole foods.
Yep that’s very good.
