I have been trying to lose fat recently because I have cholesterol issues, but I’ve always found it hard. I’m well in to nutrition and have also tried all of the common risky diets under the sun to no avail.
I’m not really fat, I’ve got a BMI of 28 but I’m built for rugby and I’m 6ft 4in.
For the last 3 months I’ve eaten a daily calorie intake of no more than 2000cal on a low fat diet, and on rare occasion that I had some biscuits, a chocolate bar etc I had a smaller meal to compensate. According to a nutritionist because of my muscle mass and frame size I would naturally burn at least 3500cal per day without exercise (average male 2500cal)
On the low calorie & fat diet it was difficult to do exercise as I didn’t have enough energy, but i still should have lost fat as 3500-2000 = 1500 calories had to come from somewhere right?!!!
One thing I’ve learned is that fat loss is not as simple as it I wish it was. {If it was then 1g of fat contains 9 calories, so in a day I would burn 167g of fat and lose a kilo in 6 days! Without going to the gym and doing more}
I didn’t lose any weight when I went for my checkup last week so I’ve been put on orilstat! Fat pills that stop me absorbing so much fat in my gut. I hardly eat any fatty foods, so not sure if that’ll work either.
I’m aware that most people jump straight to metabolism as their problem when they’re just in denial about stuffing their faces. THIS PERSON IS NOT ME! So I’m not ruling about metabolism as there seems to be no other way to explain why I never lose fat. When I rowed for uni 12 times a week i still maintained fat levels, just put on more muscle so I appeared slimmer.
Sorry this is so long, I’m hoping to attract a few nutritionists and medical experts, not to say anyone’s view isn’t welcome!!! Any tips from anyone would be very helpful.
Thanks

I’ve got 2 weeks until i’m going on holiday with my friends, we plan on doing lots of swimming diving, beach activities etc, there will be girls going with us too so i want to get a nice ripped beach body.
So here’s the details:
i’m 6ft, 135 lbs (65kg) and already pretty strong from martial arts. but the problem is i’m a naturally lean guy and i cant seem to build muscle mass. The biggest problem i’m facing is my abs. I can feel them and they feel really ripped but they’re covered by a thin layer of fat, (maybe 1cm thick) and i just cant seem to get rid of it! I’ve been reading a lot about dieting but its so confusing-high carbs, low carbs, protiens, low fat, high fat?! Also i cant find any diet plans on the internet that will build muscle and burn fat, without excercising like crazy, btw my job occupies a lot of my time so i dont have much time to excercise, i try to get in a 30 minute session of push ups, crunches, weights every day.
So can somebody please suggest to me a diet plan, (it’d be great if i could get a list of foods that would help, when people say "eat carbs" or "eat protien" i get confused)
Thanks so much

I’ve been following a low calorie diet and lost 25 lbs, but now I want to bulk up. I know in order to increase muscle mass, you need to eat a lot, more than my weight maintenance level, and workout intensely. I will gain weight, but will I look like I did 25 lbs ago? I heard you can’t lose weight and gain mass at the same time, but instead of losing lbs, will I lose fat?
