Hi all,

I've been dieting since the middle of January following a regime made to me by Menno H. with one modification: I workout with weights 3X per week as opposed to 4X per week. His workouts were simply too taxing and time consuming for me. I got weaker and fatigued.

Diet:

3 meals per day on all days. I tend to eat my first meal at noon, so basically it's like a PSMF.

PSMF 4 days per week. Basically minimizing carbs and fat.

High fat, moderate carbs and protein on workout days with the bulk of food intake after workouts.

Workout:

90-120 minutes with weights 3X per week. Multi-joint movements. Deadlifts. Squats. Bench. Chins. Pull-ups. Etc.

Cardio: Brisk 45-60 minute walk on most PSMF days.

Results:

I've been able to maintain and even gain some strength initially in January, so I think I've retained most of my mass. I'm also considerably leaner.

BUT, lately my results seemed to have stalled and I feel like I'm putting in a lot of effort not really going anywhere. I used the same regime two years back and felt I reached a slightly better BF% before stalling, but still stalling.

I would estimate my BF% to be around 11-12 % now. I'm spotting my ABS in the mirror, especially in good light, but I still carry those last 4-5 pounds before being really lean.

After a slight break this Easter, I feel ready to resume my fat loss and I'm motivated to shed those last pounds, but I feel I need to make some changes.

Any advice? Any diets that might be better? Keto-diets maybe? Perhaps a more even deficit on most days without PSMF days? Considering my PSMF days, I don't feel I could eat much less anyway. I've even considered if I'm eating too little already.

More cardio?

Thanks in advance for any help!
