Not losing weight....

Answer

I suggest getting a tape measure and tracking bodyfat percentage once a month. My weight hasn’t changed a lot, maybe 12 pounds in 5 months, but my bf% has dropped significantly. Just wanted to put it out there that there are a few ways to track progress.

Answer

Moderate amount of healthy fat (EVOO/butter/coconut oil/avocado) and protein are what you need.

Cut carbohydrate as much as possible and avoid sugar at all cost. Avoid excessive snacking also helps (you can add healthy snack like nuts and cheese into meal).

Don’t be afraid of saturated fat because it helps you to stay filled and get off snacking. Yes, it works on me and it helps me on 15 hours fasting

Answer

I recommend staying out of the gym and go walking low stress low intensity I went from 300 to 195 if your work out is too tough you to hungry. I work through lunch if that’s possible. 2 hours of walking a day, i even stopped driving.

Answer

It’s possible that you are eating way too little. Just plugging in your height and weight into a TDEE calculator results in about 2900 maintenance calories just being sedentary. Add in the cardio and weights you are doing and the maintenance calories will go up even higher. It appears that you are in a 1500+ calorie deficit with your current strategy. For sustainable weight loss, 500 calories below maintenance is recommended for 1 lb per week and 1000 below for 2 lbs per week. Losing more than 2 lbs per week is possible but there is higher risk of losing weight due to muscle loss when you go that low. It can also cause your metabolism to slow down drastically. My suggestion is to adjust your strategy to be less aggressive with a smaller deficit.

Answer

I don’t know the answer, but I have a couple of thoughts.

1. Be patient. I’ve been doing OMAD for over a year and have hit multiple plateaus. It sucks, but consistency is the key. Maybe try to hit a 36 hour fast once or twice a week to see if that helps.
2. Take a close look at the type of food/drink you are putting in your body. See if there are ways to increase the amount of protein, fat, and fiber while reducing processed carbs.
3. You mentioned lifting weights and doing cardio. Are you getting new personal records on weight lifted and length/speed of whatever cardio you’re doing? If you are, you are likely gaining muscle (congrats!), which also adds weight. That’s a good thing though, because it should help you burn more fat. If you’re not making progress with weights/cardio personal records, change your workout plan. For me personally, I prefer to lift weights 3X week and do cardio 3-5X, but not in the same setting. Mix up and change your workouts slightly to see if you can jolt your body into burning more.

Answer

Are you sure of your calories. I would check this. Portion size can affect calories more than you think

Also you are doing a lot of exercise so will be converting fat to muscle. As muscle weighs more than fat you should track your measurements because you are likely losing cm/in. I find it hard to see these changes and am often surprised at what the tape measure is showing

Weight loss is never linear. Some weeks you will lose more than others. You need to look at the trend over a longer time

You have a very low calorie diet. It may have triggered starvation mode, which is a thing where your body will change hormone levels and metabolism to try hold onto weight. Healthline.com has a great in-depth article on this https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/starvation-mode
