AboutLea Expertise I can help people who want to eat CARBS and still lose weight. A balanced approach to weight loss (all food groups). Also I can recommend calorie levels for weight loss based on weight, height, age and gender. I am also hear to remind you WAIT to get on that scale, the weight loss doesn't always show up after 3 days. Stick with it!

Education/Credentials none
Awards and Honors for 2.5 years (very recently) I was THE top weight loss consultant at an Internationally recognized organization.
I'm a 33-year-old man, I weigh 125kg and am 186cm. My body type is endo-mesomorph. My body composition is muscular but with ~25-30% bodyfat.
In the past year I've been tracking my caloric intake and it averages about 2300kcal a day, less than 10kcal/lb of mass (which I've read is very low). My exercise for the week is as follows: 40 minutes of brisk walking per day, 1-hour weights 5/week, 3-5x30-minute bike rides/week (I benchpress 335lbs to give you an idea of musculature).
Even with all that exercise, I can't really lose weight. I was a fat child but I've always consumed less than others around me. I don't live a gluttonous lifestyle and I get full easily. Overeating doesn't feel like the problem and I don't eat starches/carbs at dinner.
I don't have a low body temperature or many things that would suggest hypothyroidism (except for the extra weight and possibly some form of insulin resistance). I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Any help you can give me would be very appreciated. Thank you very much.

Answer Hi Matt,
Your calorie intake and activity sound fine. How many times a day do you eat? I would recommend a minimum of six times. Don't eat more, just break up your meals into smaller bits which gives the body more time to digest and speeds metabolism. Also, I would recommend to not eat past 8 or 9 pm (or 3 hours prior to bedtime).
Best of luck, please ask a follow up question if required,
Lea
