Combined with an 1800 calorie diet, that means I'm only taking in 467 net calories per day, which seems like it's far lower than what the average humans BMR is.
Going to talk to my doctor about this later this month when I have my next appointment, but I'm getting disillusioned about my lack of progress lately. I lost 3 pounds a month steadily for the first 9 months of this program, and the weight loss has steadily slowed down to nothing.
Have you ever had your thyroxine level checked? A while ago, I was over 380 working out 3 nights a week with a personal trainer and eating so little I was having low blood sugar issues. My doctor did a blood test and found I had hypothyroidism. He gave me a prescription and over the next sixth months, I exercised less, ate healthy and lost 45 pounds. Now, if I forget to take the pill even one day, I'll have gained at least a half pound no matter what I did that day.
