After my a month of hard work, I’m worse off. Really bummed.

Brief as possible:

So I’ve been swimming 5 days a week and being relatively conscious of my diet before the new year. In January, I turned it all up.

I now swim 6 days a week, practice tai chi 2 days, and lift weights 4 days. I started intermittent fasting, have gone 90% vegetarian, and drink at least a gallon of water a day. Ive cut down my drinking to a couple drinks once a week from two pints of whiskey and a six pack.

So at my gym, they have an InBody machine that measures weight, fat, muscle, water etc. the last time I used it was August, when I was doing nothing for exercise and barely watching my diet at all.

Today, I take the measurements, and I’m worse off in every way. After a month of hard work, my body fat is up, muscle mass down, visceral fat unchanged. Wtf.

A month of hard work has left me worse off. I don’t know what to say. Do you? Any advice would be welcome.
