…as the world turns
greetings all. i am still training hard. i’m about a month in on stevep78’s psychotic fat destruction….and it seems i am back to square one. the worklout plan is great. as usual, i can feel myself getting stronger. but, my body is still working against me. after the 1st 2 weeks, i lost about 3% body fat. that’s about the norm for me on any program, then everything just stops.
i’ve been training seriously for about 2 years now…weights 3-5 times a week and cardio 4-5 times a week. i’ve tried many, many diets (including ones supervised by physicians). yet, nothing seems to work. i’m still…for lack of a better word…fat. i haven’t been able to take metformin, which was prescribed to me for insulin resistance because it makes me so sick, i can barely function. and diet and exercise alone have not worked for me. it only maintains my current weight…and i need to cut. my body is still basically the same and i don’t understand how that can be so with all the work i’ve done.
i’m sooooo frustrated, but it’s doubtful that i will stop training. even as i write this, i’m getting ready to walk my dogs and go work out. it’s become part of my routine - the break that i need to focus on me and no one else.
but, i do need some answers. my doctors have not been able to help me so far…my blood results are always a bit off but close to normal so they didn’t think anything was wrong with me until i insisted they do further blood work. basically, i web md’ed myself. with the research that i’ve done, it seems that my body is still converting whatever i eat to fat…yes, back to my nemesis - body fat. there has to be some solution for this. but, what is it?

Have you checked with an endocronologist? You may have hormonal imbalances. Also you should get an allergy screening. Sometimes we can be allergic to certain foods which may lead to weight gain. Voice your concerns to your Dr. and ask for a full blood panel. If you’re dieting and exercising with no results there must be something else going on with your body.
Hope this helps chica
