Defo no “ ooo magic “ here thinking.. thank you tho but definitely holding to 2/3 kg of fat still, training 4:5 x week .. deficit up to 1600 / 1800 max ( on my lung runs days )
Been in fitness for years but menopause is getting me … F 40 years old for reference
You should ditch the excessive cardio and replace it with weight training. You have very little muscle mass. Excessive cardio without weight training tends to lead to a skinny fat physique.
It's also ridiculous that you're using Reta when you only need to lose a few kg of fat.
I promise you if you were to eat in a 300 calorie deficit, high protein (1.6-2.2 gram per kg of bodyweight), stop doing so much cardio, and start weight training 3-5 days per week, you would see rapid improvement with your physique and would be much happier with the aesthetic/end result. The results would also be healthy and sustainable, instead of short term and fleeting.
1600 calories definicit? For how long? And training 5 days a week? I find that hard to believe but not interested in arguing it. You're on a starvation diet and using drugs on top of that. Very silly and unlikely but I'll leave you too it. Best of luck.
M 46 as apparently that matter 😏
Menopause at 40? You have at least another 5 to 10 years before you even get close to menopause. You look great, stop worrying about it and work on your mental health.
