Eating less and moving more no loss

So I eat roughly between 800 to 1200 a day. My drinks are raw milk or water. My exercise is walking and any farm work I do feeding watering etc. I take the stairs at work ( work on the third floor) park in the farthest area of the parking lot. All foods I cook are from home, chicken, fresh pasture eggs, etc. Rabbit when it comes in season. If I do a "cheat" day I eat nothing else but that meal for the whole day and drink plenty of water.

Made a goal in May to lose 20lbs in 3 months needless to say it didn't happen. I'm a female 5'3" and weigh 163 - 166.00. My goal is to be in the 130's again.

I tried looking at the TDEE but found it confusing the MFP calculator stated 1200 cals for me to lose? Yet nothing but my patience.

no fruit? no veg? just protein........ maybe u should speak with a dietician.

I tried fruit but it just made me crave sugar I actually feel better without it. Veggies to me are rabbit food. The only veggie I've cooked has been Broccoli (sp) but it always causes inflammation. Plus I'm a carnivore at heart.

By inflammation, do you mean that the fiber made your stomach feel bloated? I will say, i know several people who get crazy gas with broccoli. Might be worth trying other veggies.

YES that's it! And it lasts for like a day or so. I'm trying spinach but I like to watch the chickens eat it.

Well if you don't eat a lot of fiber and the all of a sudden, start to eat fiber, your stomach will be slightly upset. It was no different when I went from 15g to 30-50g of fiber a day. Please understand though, that fiber helps with colon and GI health. So while you think it's for the animals, it's very beneficial to you.

and OP... Flagging posts for abuse that aren't actually abusive is kind of pointless.

How am I promoting an unhealthy diet? This is what I eat. Again assumptions is all that is to be made here.

I figured 2 months was enough to see something move in the right direction. Hence why I came here to the"experts" now I understand its a mistake.

A mod can close this thread I'm done here.

You asked for advice. Were given advice and still argued that your way is best.

You're not losing weight. So crack on. If you think how you eat is best.

I think I upset OP by saying that humans cannot live on meat alone. Meh.

Again how am I arguing? I answered the questions being asked at the best of my ability, yet you for some reason feel superior to add your "suggestions". No I'm not losing weight hence the post? However I understand its just how theme is around here.

Magnesium Citrate can be overdone. You can develop a dependency.

Are you logging all your butter?

Considering your highly unusual diet, this scale would be well-worth the investment.

Your are right there are some WONDERFUL people in the thread trying to help and I thank them for it. However there are some for whatever reason that feel the need to be I guess what they are. If it makes them feel good fine I'd wish they rather not troll the thread.

Where did you get that?! Wow!!!

And yes Kerrygold made it easy to measure out their butter

You realize you are neither lion or rabbit, but an omnivore? You are a bear.

Other bears wouldn't have much to do with a bear who only eats chicken.

I'm not superior. I've been where you are. Eating a rubbish diet and wondering why I wasn't losing weight. I came here and listened and now I'm losing. Simples.

I'm not trolling. I'm a jokey person by nature and if you aren't I do apologise but listen to what people are saying here. They have great advice and you CAN lose if you take it.

this thread was crazy!

Thanks for the apology.

According to the various replies it seems I need to eat more? That just doesn't seem plausible or logical but I will do it.

I can only expect you're referring to me, since you seem to have flagged some of my posts.

I've explained, without being too verbose - though I can be if you'd prefer, that your unvaried diet is unhealthy.

Personally, and frankly, I wouldn't bother trying to pinpoint the inaccuracies in your calorie counting until you acknowledge that a highly restrictive diet is unhealthy, and agree that it needs to be rectified in a controlled manner.

Otherwise, talking about calorie counting is futile. You'll lose weight if you get it right, sure, but unless you're blessed with the innards of a leopard it won't be healthy & you'll spend just as much time trying to undo the fruits of your overly, unnecessarily restrictive weight-loss labours.
Why not take the advice that helps you get it right first time?

@FarmingCozy You should read this thread, no offense but you need a little help on this weight loss journey

If you enjoy your eggs... Make an omelette. Throw some cheese in and your bacon. Seriously good and will help increase your calories. Make sure to weigh and log the cheese and bacon

I think your biggest bang for your buck will be to start weighing your food so that you have an accurate calorie count. Then, if that calorie count is consistently below 1200, definitely increase how much you are eating. If you are eating quite a bit more than you thought, it would make sense to gradually bring your calories down until you are losing steadily.
