I need to lose another 34 lb and I work out 6 days a week gaining muscle but the weight's not losing.

Working out won't cut it. Do intermittent fasting. Last meal by 6pm. First meal at noon next day ("18/6" fasting). Recommend greek yogurt with frozen blueberries. Then gym 60-75 min later for max energy from berries. Eat high protein meal within an hour after workout, then another smaller meal by 6pm. Guaranteed results within 4-6 wks.

I do daily fasting; always a moderate breakfast but I skip lunch, then a respectable dinner. An apple (pink lady variety) and a glass of oj before bed. Blood sugar is way down and I’ve lost 30 pounds in the past 2 1/2 months.

My last meal is about 6 am and I’m happy at 120, lost almost 20 in the last 4 months on a little over 1000 cal/day (blueberries included!) in 2-3 hour window. Whatever eating window fits your schedule.

I’m diabetic...
My A1C was between 5.8 and 6.2 for years, yet I could not lose weight. Went to a dietician.
She gave me a book and talked about what I could and could not eat.
She also got me on a cam.
I use dexcom7.
Best thing that happened to me.
For the first few days, I was getting alarms at night.
Bells were ringing.
Bongs were bonging.
Lights were flashing.
Turns out my blood sugar crashed at night, resulting in my A1C being so good.

For those that don’t know, diabetes means you can’t regulate your blood sugar.
High blood sugar will kill you eventually.
Low blood sugar will kill you right now, as in you don’t survive the ambulance ride to the hospital.
Diabetics have to eat. This is what makes losing weight so hard for Diabetics.
The company gives me real time blood sugar readings. I can see what different foods do to me. And how much I need to keep my blood sugar in range.

I recommend cgm and consult with a dietician for all diabetics.
