Good BMI = slower weight loss?
Posted: 07 Aug 2013, 01:21
Hello there! My weight loss seems to have stalled after a good start. After 4 weeks I have lost much less than 1 lb per week, lower than the average. Does having a lower BMI affect the speed of weight loss compared to say, a higher BMI? I recall reading this somewhere but I can't locate the thread again even after doing a search.
No change in my exercise schedule since I started this WOE. I am eating less than my TDEE on most days because this WOE has been great in curbing my cravings, and I am more aware of my hunger triggers (stress and boredom). I fast twice a week, usually on Mondays and Thursdays, taking in no more than 500 calories each time, and in fact usually much less - at around 200 to 300 calories.
My BMI is 19 plus. And no, I don't have an eating disorder. I'm just trying to shed 8-10 pounds that have crept up on me. After that I plan to move to maintenance and keeping this WOE for health benefits.
Would love to hear your thoughts on this. Many thanks!
