[QUOTE="FeelingLost, post: 87535, member: 15131"] I started back in January at 208# I just don't seem to be getting anywhere. I have been trying to lose belly fat and increase my overall core strength for the last 10 months. I cleaned up my diet a lot and got off the couch. No more fast food (pizza, burgers, tacos, etc) no processed foods like chips, white bread, etc. Raised protein intake(steak/chicken breast) from ~35 grams a day to 170-200 grams per day. I eat 5-7 cups of salad everyday with 1 oz of salmon. Started out with a 1900 cal goal and over 5 months I lost 16# and could lose no more. Moved to a 1650 cal limit and increase time in the Gym to 2 hours 4 days a week. I ride a mtn bike the other 3 days 14-20 easy miles. @ this caloric lvl I do experience Hypoglycemia episodes often and have to stop and do a hammer gel or something similar. With the increased gym time I have improved my core strength but also gained 2 # to 192 and have been stuck here for the last 2 months. I can explain some of the weight body fat is lighter than muscle. But the belly fat persists. This slow to no gains has really hit my overall mood and I have to really force myself to go exersize. It probably hasn't help that I don't think my current TRT protocol is not cutting it. 2 months ago my T dose was doubled but I felt no improvement in any of the areas T is suppost to help. I ordered bloods a month early(60 days instead of 90) to see if something can be done there. So have you guys ever tried to do both lose weight from dieting and build muscle? Did you have any luck? thanks [/QUOTE]
