I am kind of happy I was still able to produce a loss this week. Because I think my calorie deficit and macronutrients composition was not optimal. As I am also going to the gym regularly, I was feeling tired and fatigued. I was focusing on a lot of protein and ignored a bit about carbs. I was having carbs but not the carbs that my body was looking for. So, I was very sure my Cortisol was going to be activated and would stall my weight loss. Somehow I got through this.
Yesterday I was reading some literature about macronutrients and people normally either look at weight loss composition or weight gain composition. So, if you were to lose weight then your protein intake should be around 1.2g per kilo body weight. On the other hand if you were to gain muscle/weight then it should be close to 2.0g per kilo body weight. 20% - 30% fat and remaining carbs should be carbs.
I was feeding more protein than required but not giving enough carbs to support recovery. In the month of May, my loss was only 2.5kgs compared to April where it was close to 5kgs. So, this week I am going to try this new information and see the results.
Again I am so happy and grateful for the weight loss and for it going in the right direction. 🫶🫶🫶🥰🥰🥰🙏
