There is a lot of toxicity i see around weight loss i just want to address it since i see a lot of people lose hope like i did.
So i always see people online who will say they eat less for example 1600 calories when their tdee is 2200 for maint and can't lose weight.
I also see these people get told they are wrong with their calorie counting / eating too much.
Now whilst i think this is the case of most people i also think in those cases people shouldn't just be saying "well count again if its not too much then your wrong since you can't lose weight" and that kind of shit.
My reasoning behind this is i used to be the guy i ate 1500 calories a day and couldn't lose weight despite being morbidly obese....at the end of the day it wasn't the calorie counting that was wrong.
I went to the doctors and learnt not only had my body not been through puberty due to hypogonadism (lack of testosterone) i have a severe hypothyroid problem.
After i had those issues fixed through medication i started to see that even at 1800 calories a day eating more (due to the hunger from having testosterone) i was losing weight.
Im nearly out of morbid obesity due to fixing these health problem i went from having sever lack of muscle mass to actually having a healthy range of muscle now.
Calories in and calories out is the whole story in a simplified version but i think people need to remember weight loss has a lot to do with other variables.
If you are certain you are calorie counting correctly and are still not losing weight.
Goto the doctors and get reffered to a specialist it could be that you too have a health problem or two that impacts your metabolism.
