I lost weight and now I'm stuck at 94kg's.
My arms etc. are getting bigger but I'm not losing any fat, despite eating a low carb diet for over a year now and working out 3-5 times a week. 1, 5 to 2 hours per workout.
I don't eat sugars, rarely any fats and minimal carbs? only oatmeal, peanut butter and bananas.
I eat 2 meals a day and rarely three.
I Drink coffee (no sugar, sweets nor cream, tea ( no sugar, sweets nor cream) water and during the weekend 1 or 2 beers or wine and not every weekend.
I don't use any supplements other than vitamins and fish oil.
My meals exist out of veggies either alone or combined out of the following: broccoli, Cauliflower, Carrots, Green Beans, peas.
Chicken breasts: 300grams.
I cook my veggies.
Than I add them to the chicken sliced in dices and bake them in olive oil after 10 minutes I add the remaining water I used to cook my veggies in as base to create some sort of sauce.
I add herbs and spices, garlic, ginger, pepper, red peppers, curry and some times 3-4 spoons of 100% peanut peanut butter.
Let it all sit on a low stove for another 5-10 minutes and dinner is served for the next 2 to 3 days.
So that's roughly 250/300 grams of chicken breast, 250/300 grams of veggies. 50/100 grams of peanut butter a meal.
And I'm still not losing weight/fat.
Must be a red flag you didn't mention!

The answer is consistency. Like everyday constancy. I tried walking everyday for like 4 years and it wasn't working. 30 min to 1 or even close to 2 hr walks. Nothing lacking on the dad bod image! Beer belly and all! I was lifting weights 3 times a week, like 30 to 45 minute sessions. I was seeing SOME progress in the first few weeks. But after that it wasn't changing much. Then in November of 2021 I started working out twice a day EVERY SINGLE DAY. Two 10-15 minute sessions of cardio, dumbbell curls, and db floor press. And ab exercises and love handle exercises. We're talking like a consistent 10 minute a day lifting, 5 minutes a day cardio (running in place and anything like that. And probly like 3 minutes doing abs and love handles.
Diet? I eat what I want when I want but I realized I was sick of feeling bloated every time I ate so I cut my portion size in half.
All of this has caused me to consistently get results, and working out everyday raises metabolic genes which help with weight loss and building muscle.

It took my body years of eating shit to finally give up on keeping me thin.
So far the worst weight I got to is 85kg - 173cm.
But that's like if I am home and pig out with cookies and similar shit.
If I stay away from that and eat here and there I can hold around 76kg.
Based on I think its bdmi calculations 68kg would be perfect for me so it's not that bad.
If I actually work and workout I can prob easily get down to the perfect weight quite easily without the need to completely cut out all junk.
Even though you say it's a red flag I do wanna be stronger and more fit and know how it's like to have abs for the first time in my life.
I used to be very into fighting and strenght when i was younger and as I was bullied in school I took it out on my brother and then one day I was just done with that cuz it was wrong.
I couldnt be the same as the person that bullied me and so over the years I prob got weaker overall due to innactivity.

I went from 285 lbs to staying at 148-155 lbs easy all year round. I first started without looking into anything, just doing the normal eating less, calorie counting and exercising. That worked great the whole way honestly, but once I got down to like 165 lbs, I wanted to be even healthier. Sure, calorie counting with TV dinners was easy and fast, but I knew for optimal health, I'd have to do better. I taught myself how to cook and bake and became a vegan. I feel better than ever, and staying lean is the easiest and most natural thing ever. It also helps I've built a passion for cooking, but mostly baking. You can be terribly unhealthy as a vegan, but I took the route of eating only whole foods that I cook myself, and pretty much nothing else besides the rare occasion of going out to eat.

Here's a thinker. I lost 60lbs just intermittent fasting in a year. 10 weeks ago I stopped eating in a window but didn't eat more then when i was fasting and started going to the gym lifting heavy for about an hour then going on an hour walk/jog in the evening 5 days a week. I've lost 5lbs in 10 weeks. that's it. I weigh 260lbs and i eat between 1700-1800 calories a day which is the same I was eating when I was just fasting. If weight lost is about being in a calorie deficit why am I not losing weight especially having 40% body fat now that I'm working out? I know some say it's because I'm building muscle but i should be losing at least 2lbs of fat a week and i doubt I have put on 20lbs of muscle. I've been taking progress pics and I barley see a difference.

I would love to know how much time is too much time in the gym. I lift on a light-heavy schedule (which works for me. On the heavy days, I'm spending two hours in the gym because heavy bench and heavy squats take so much more time. I'm assuming your answer is going to have something to do with what my goals are. My goals are to get stronger. I've been a weight-lifter for about 40 years (started at 16, and I've always lifted light-heavy. I played college football, and that is how I was trained to lift. My bench (before I hurt my shoulder last year) was 365. BUT, I'm spending two hours (sometimes) five days a week in the gym to get there. Would love to know your thoughts.

Yes, you are so right on the salad. many people make mistake thinking salad is good. yes it is good only if its without mayo dressing-
Mayo & any instant sauce like ketchup usually will hv sugar and other things like msg or preservatives in it to make it taste good.
to lose weight, first thing you need to do is cut off your sugar, sauce, mayo, ketchup, processed food. cause this thing will make your meal much high in calories.
1 tbsp of mayo = 60cal (gv or take. and restaurant usually don't just put 1 tbsp of mayo as salad dressing. imagine couple of tbsp mayo + olive oil, how much calories will it already be

I couldn't lose weight in my gut area for minute but actually i had a fatty liver! I had to take choline and inositol with milk thistle. Get your gut checked especially if you are a party animal like my self who loved to drink hard liquor when convenient. The gut is slowly going away finally after this major discovery. I hope this helps anyone who's having difficulty and it seems like the pouch is not disappearing- no alcohol at all even when it's nice out and your socializing is God awful but that 6 pack is a must.

I once lost 10kg in 2 months because of a very physically demanding job I had during that time. I was also eating exclusively deep fried schnitzel, fries and potato salad EVERY day. Somehow I've managed to keep it off. But when I eat my normal balanced diet and exercise regularly my weight never changes even when I know for a fact that I'm in a caloric deficit. Why is my body like this: ( what can I do
Edit: I didn't eat like that voluntarily. Long story but I had no other choice than to eat schnitzel and potato's.
