You are probably eating too much on the weekends thus negating what you worked hard for during the weekdays. I would try to work on that first, and if possible, track calories at least once for a weekday to see exactly what you are eating. Diet is breaking you from your goals my friend
I concur with BMJ. This is something I see with clients frequently when I give them a free meal or cheat day. Their progress, if any, is slow. I end up pulling their free meal or cheat day and the next thing you know they are back to losing 2 lbs a week until it slows down around 10% for guys and 14% for gals.Hate to admit it but you are right, if Im gonna add the Var and DNP I might as well make a go for it. Thanks.
My recommendation would be to have low, medium and high days. Non-training or non-lifting days are low days with less than 50 grams of carbs, medium days are lifting days where you take in anywhere from 150-250 grams of carbs depending size, insulin sensitivity, how hard you train, etc... and make one lifting day a high day where you replenish your glycogen stores with 400+ grams of carbs. Every one of my clients is on a similar program. They have carbs when they need them and can maximize fat loss on days they don't. Keep fats between 50-75 g a day and protein is dependent on your bodyweight, but I tend to shoot for around 1.25 to 1.5 grams per/lbs of bodyweight. You can get down to 7-8% BF even at 50+ years old without any drugs (endocrine system dependent) doing this. If you still struggle, you need to look at your training intensity (you are likely training like a pussy) or your recovery sucks ass (get some damn sleep).
