Help I Am So Frustrated

[Jazzmin Stanley 11]

I am so mad right now. I work out atleast 3 hours a day once in the evenings and once in the morning. I am trying my best to eat when I should I can't get over 800 calories in, I am feeling more and more exhausted each day.......and I AM AT A STAND STILL! My doc says more Protein, my nutritionist says more calories, and my trainer says more carbs so I can have more energy. I need to hear from someone who has had the surgery because none of these people have. What do I need to do?

It seems like you do need more calories if you're working out that much. Your body is practically in starvation mode, trying to conserve because you are burning so much. Try increasing calories (proteins and carbs) by a couple of hundred and see if that kick starts your weight loss again

Thanks will do!

Definitely agree with more calories. Depending on where you are on the journey, I would probably resist the urge for more carbs.

Yep, more cals and more carbs (especially some complex carbs about and hour before you workout). I love a banana or some low/no sugar oatmeal before I workout.

[Jazzmin Stanley 11]

I will go buy me some bananas....and oatmeal, to eat an hour before I work out! Thanks guys

I'm very weary of bananas because they give me a lot of gas, which can be very uncomfortable. Tread cautiously with broccoli, cauliflower, bananas and cabbage, if you're sensitive to gas.

This may sound crazy, but when trying to lose working with a doctor and nut a few years back I got stuck at a certain weight. The doctor told me that I should skip working out and sleep a minimum of 10 hours for 3 days in a row...then go back to my normal routine. Worked like a charm. Used it at every stall and it always got me going again. I will be sleeved soon, so I don't know if it works with the sleeve but it sure does work with diet and exercise.

What you are doing here is confusing your system, changing things ups. When you hit a stall, this is a good thing. Increase your calories for a few days, then bring them down. This is actually a good routine to do all the time. You body can get used to doing certain things and eating a certain amount. Try the same thing with your exercise routine.

Jazzmin, I was working out twice a day for a couple of months and my body hurt! I couldn't eat enough, sleep enough, or relax enough to quit aching. I was living on Icy Hot and hurting constantly. As soon as I stopped doing the double workouts, everything lined back up for me.

I agree with changing things up. I lose when I eat more. I lose when I exercise less, then I'll lose when I do a killer workout for a few days. Once I started varying my routine, my weight loss restarted and has been steady again since.

Take a day off from work out take a nap eat every 2 hrs switch up your work out do once away for a few days then go back to what you were doing. This worked me. If your exhausted you will hurt yourself
