Hey everyone,
I'm looking for some advice.
Back in October last year, I started a strict low-calorie, high-protein diet to lose body fat and improve my physique. Here are my stats:
Height: 188 cm (6'2")
Starting weight: 106 kg (233.7 lbs)
Starting body fat: ~27%
Currently, I weigh 94.5 kg (208.3 lbs), and I believe my body fat percentage is lower now, although it's hard to measure accurately.
My Diet:
For the past several months, I’ve been eating:
Calories: ~1900 kcal/day
Protein: 180–190g
Carbs: 150g
Fats: ~40g
The diet definitely worked—I’ve lost 11.5 kg (25.3 lbs) so far, which I’m proud of. But I’ve hit a plateau. I’ve been stuck at 94.5 kg for weeks now with no noticeable changes in weight or physique, even though I’m still sticking to my 1900 kcal diet.
I tried reducing calories further, but I noticed it started affecting me mentally and physically—I felt drained and moody. My goal is to get down to 90 kg (198.4 lbs) to finish the cut before starting a lean bulk.
Training:
I follow a consistent Push/Pull/Legs split with progressive overload. However, I’ve been struggling to add 20–30 minutes of cardio after workouts due to low energy levels. I also average around 7,000–8,000 steps per day. I've tried adding a picture to show my physique but I can't, probably because of low karma (5). To give you an idea about my build: I'm muscular, and my bodyfat is concentrated around my lower belly.
What’s the best move from here? Should I push myself to add cardio, even if I feel low on energy? Or would it be smarter to take a short diet break to reset and recharge before finishing the cut?
Any insights or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
