Ive been hovering around the same weight for 4 days and was told it was probably a stall as i hadnt done anything wrong i could pinpoint. Yesterday i lost 2.2lb and thought i was out of the woods but today im the same as yesterday, no loss at all. Is this normal? Id been losing steadily until this and am a bit confused.
Thanks.
Ken.

So all the analysing i did while i was stalling is probably groundless yes? I should just carry on with my normal routine whether i lose or not? Also i think i may be losing muscle mass, im not noticing a difference in strength when im training just stamina which i suppose is to be expected but i dont want to lose a lot of muscle and i thought you were only supposed lose adipose tissue.
Ken.

ken- you'll always lose some amount of muscle with a low-cal diet, even while on hcg. and you can be losing fat, even if not losing weight- your body temporarily fills the fat cells with water until the cell wall has time to break down.

the loss in stamina is from the low amount of calories- not enough carbs to use for fuel during heavy exercise. you'd be playing around with the original protocol, but if you're concerned about too much muscle loss you might try adding sugar-free protein shakes to your program (or extra meat) so that you can tolerate a bit more exercise. your weight loss might be slower, but you'd probably lose less muscle.
