I've been eating fruits and vegetables but it's really difficult to get hard full with them.
With that said, oatmeal helps. I've lost around 30 pounds and I hit a wall, I'm finding it hard to lose more, I'm increasing my exercise but I'm not sure if I'm eating too little now for my metabolism to kick in and help me lose more weight or if I'm eating too much and I need to cut down more. It's all about calories in calories out, up to a certain point.
You are fighting millions of years of evolution. If you are in caloric deficit for too long, your body thinks you don't have food near you anymore and try to conserve whatever energy you have.
Take a diet break and up your calories slightly daily until you see yourself gaining a little bit of weight. Then cut back the last increase.
Keep that calorie intake for a few weeks and then start a new cut after that. Rinse and repeat until you are at your goal weight.
Ab easy rule of thumb is to do a weight cut for 6-12 weeks, and then do a maintenance weight for the same length of time you did your cut.
Not recommending chest days? I've read that a chest day every 4 days helped with that specific issue, I don't know how accurate that is, as you can find everything and it's opposite online.
you cant loose weight while your insulin is high. ever. your oatmeal gets turned into fat instead of energy. so you cant loose weight. switch to meat salt and vegtables. try it one week, see what happens. the reason you lost weight is that you were eating even more sugar and carbs before.
I think the reason why I lost so much weight is because I was eating like 3000-4000+ calories a day and didn't care about my diet at all, and now I'm eating 2000 or less calories per day.
There are tons of sites/articles/etc that say oatmeal is great for weight loss, it lowers your blood sugar, it's very filling and full of vitamins, minerals, fiber, etc. though there's always going to be conflicting information, which makes part of this more difficult.
