Hey guys

I'm a 20 year old college student that's been watching what I eat and working out for about a year now and I've hit a plateau on my weight loss goals. I workout 6-7 times a week, rarely do cardio (bc of the winter), and eat about 2350 calories a day. My supps list include: PWO, BCAAs, whey, fish oil, green tea, cla, and a multi.

I would just like some advice on busting past this plateau and getting under 200lbs.

My before pic I was 285lbs with a 40" waist, I'm currently 207lbs with a 34" waist. Thanks guys!

Problems I see are "about" 2300 calories. You need to know exactly how much you're consuming. I weigh,measure and track EVERY little thing I eat or drink.

DO CARDIO! Don't lower calories. Too low and you'll lose muscle. You need a balance of calorie deficit and calories burned.

It's not going to be easy and you'll need to make some sacrifices. Stay dedicated and keep at it, good job so far.

Great progress keep going man!
 
An extreme diet like PSMF might help. There is a theory on set points in the body and sometimes you have to go to extremes to break that set point and continue with the fat loss. PSMF with ECA for about 2 weeks and then back to your regular diet strategy.

I'll def try that out, thanks man
 
Great progress man.
 
If you aren't doing cardio, I would suggest adding it in. This would be the quick and easy fix. Considering the amount of lifting you do, LISS would be a great option. Even a medium paced, 20 minute walk on a treadmill incline after lifting should start dropping more fat off of you. If you don't have access to a treadmill, you can even jog in place in front of the TV. It might feel funny but it will work.


If a greater caloric deficit doesn't work, consider more extreme tactics.

My $0.02.

Thanks man I'll definitely implement that. Should I take my post workout supps (whey, creatine) after my cardio or before?

creatine can be used anytime of the day, its a saturation type supplement....

Cool cool, so it's not time sensitive like whey? (I.e. it's recommended to take whey within 30 mins after working out)

Whey or any protein really isn't time sensitive. It's more or less about how many grams you get in the course of the day. I'd argue carbs are far more time sensitive..but there are plenty who continually disagree with that
