Not losing weight - I'm not new to the weight game

[TheFinerDetails]

Hey guys, so I sort of have a problem, and I guess you could say I've had it for a long period of time, as I haven't attempted a "bulk" in about a year now. I was always a chubbier kid on the larger side of the scale, but as I got into combat sports I lost a lot, and as I began to fiddle with weight lifting, I got bigger and stronger and lost weight as a newbie does (at the same time).

But here I am, at a weight where I'm pretty much stuck, and have been stuck for I'd say a good few months. I have no clue how I'm going to lose the weight.

To give you an example of my daily diet:
1. Minimal breakfast (I have intestinal problems that can't handle big breakfasts):
- 1Litre of cold water, 2 pieces of bacon (rindless and no fat), SOMETIMES 2 eggs.
2. One steak, or chicken schnitzel or some chicken breast with salad. SOMETIMES 1 piece of fruit
3. One steak, or chicken schnitzel or some chicken breast in a sandwich (2 pieces of multigrain bread and salad on the bread), 1 piece of fruit
4. Some sort of lean meat with low fat (and fat removed if there is any), mixed vegetables (no potatoes),

Snacks - Yoghurt (low fat low carb), Almonds, Rindless bacon, egg whites, Protein shakes (low fat low carb), Fibre Booster (on my yoghurt or straight off a spoon)

And then my training routine (AS IT CURRENTLY IS):
Monday - 1hr 30min Boxing/Kickboxing, 1hr 30min BJJ, 1hr Weight Training
Tuesday - 1hr Weight Training, 30min Cardio routine
Wednesday - 1hr 30min Boxing/Kickboxing, 1hr 30min BJJ, 1hr Weight Training
Thursday - 1hr Weight Training, 30min Cardio routine
Friday - 1hr 30min Boxing/Kickboxing, 1hr Weight Training
Saturday - 1hr Weight Training
Sunday - Rest

I also perform pushups & pullups regularly whenever I feel like it (door pull up bars are sweet). The one thing I don't really want to do is RUN. I used to run for hours playing rugby and I honestly hated every second of the training.

Unless you guys could absolutely put it down to running, I'm really not willing to do it (maybe if I have a fight coming up and I have to cut some weight).

Possibly I'm not eating ENOUGH? I dunno, I really can't put it down to anything anymore, I've tried ridiculous supplements ages ago that just made me feel off the planet, I tried to use all sorts of fad trenders (lemon water, green tea all that bs, all it did was ruin my stomach, if anyone thinks it's a good idea to compound all sorts of these "cleanser foods" DON'T - If destroyed my stomach in a way that has taken me months to even have at a level where it's workable).

Maybe Swimming or something? Can someone drop some hardcore knowledge on me about weight loss because right now it seems that I'm definitely in a calorie deficit, just not losing any noticeable weight. (I use scales and the mirror).

I just started carb reloading a month ago, haven't seen any hardcore results from it yet though, just makes me happy to eat an tonne of carbs for a while . Nuts get boring hahaha.

Anyone with similar experiences or some knowledge, thanks for the help

TL;DR - I'm fat and I want to lose weight - I've tried lots and am in a calorie deficit - No it's not just patience, I've been around the same weight for almost a year.

If you're at a caloric deficit and not losing weight see a doctor, could be a hormonal issue

You're playing the guessing game and that's a sure path to frustration. I will suggest to you what I suggest to everyone trying to lose weight - get out your phone or a spreadsheet, and start tracking.

You may very well be at some ridiculous 50+% deficit that will grind your loss to a halt (but you'd know, you'd feel miserable and your performance would be shit), or maybe you're not even in a deficit at all despite your estimations. Only one way to know for sure.

By the way, the situation you're describing is more or less impossible. I am not calling you a liar, I'm simply reinforcing that you need to get tight control on your diet. There's no way you're in a big deficit, not losing fat, and still performing well. Pick two of those.

Edit: If you want to list your weight I'll help you get started.

One thing I'm going to say that I'm surprised hasn't been said, is get rid of all the "non-fat" stuff. Fat is fuel, too, and is a necessary component to having good blood-lipid profiles. Regardless of where your deficit, or lack thereof, is...it's not a good idea to cut fat intake down to pretty much nil if you want to actually be healthy, and lose body fat as a coincidence. There's plenty of reasons a body can stall in mobilizing fat, even when consuming very few calories. Your menu, regardless of it's number value, doesn't appear very healthy in general.

^ Also vital for cell/nerve signaling, cellular integrity and hormone production. Quite key to any dietary or fitness regime.

Try every day morning --------------------> Hot lime juice with honey.

 

[weaselGRM]

You didn't mention how much water you drink... I hop it's a lot.
The other thing I've noticed are almonds. They are healthy fur sure, but I think that a 100g contains somewhere around 500 calories which can put you over the top pretty quickly.

Sounds disgusting, but intriguing.

Is there anything you could possibly recommend I add in?
I left out my supplement intake but yeah my general diet isn't very healthy.

The answer to everything is always... intermittent fasting. Try it! www.leangains.com

It should work especially well for you since you say you can't handle big breakfasts anyway (most people doing IF skip breakfast) and you already train. There are several threads here touting how awesome it is.

 

[Contempt]

While you haven't given us any information about height/weight or actual caloric intake it's pretty hard to help.

Do you know what your maintenance calories are? Do you know how many calories you are eating per day?

Also, what are you eating for your carb refeeds? How much and how many calories?

 

[anaconda]

Sinister hit it on the head. You are cutting out too much fat. Fat, believe it or not, will help you burn fat. It helps with all the stuff mentioned as well as hormone regulation.

Also, how many calories are you eating/burning? You say you are in a deficit but give us the numbers.
