Up until 2 months ago i was in a weight loss plateau at 82kg and in an 800-calorie deficit. Calories per day was at 1800 and i struggled to get out of the plateau. I posted the first photo back then, asking if body recomposition was still possible considering that i am not a gym newbie. Got mixed responses saying it isn’t possible or it is, just tweak my nutrition and lifts. With that said, I decided to just try it out. I did a reverse diet increasing my calories to 2300 over the first few weeks, continued my lifts and increased my consistency to morning walks (5-10k steps). Right now i’m taking in about 2200-2300 calories daily and i have lost about 3kg after increasing my calories. It amazes me that i just had to increase my calories to break the plateau and faintly see “abs” lol.
I’ll still be sticking to my current calories of 2200-2300 until i’m satisfied, then will go for a lean bulk.
Thank you!
