Thanks for the advice Harriet, I'm not that obsessed though. I do have a plan for this low carb diet, may be with some tweaks according to Defining advice but anyways my plan ends next Monday and I will definitely reward myself afterwards leading to regain the 1KG that I have been struggling to lose for a month 😁

Thank you all for your thoughtful contributions. I will certainly try them. However, I have another question. As I mentioned earlier, I do weigh myself when I wake up in the morning, but it seems that I'm becoming obsessed so I occasionally weigh again during the day when I feel hungry or after going to the toilet etc. at that time, I can see that I weigh around 70.5 but my trainer says that during the day doesn't count at all. He says that since I have been eating, drinking, exercising, going to toilet etc, a lot of factors are affecting the weight and that makes it not a perfect measure. I think of it in another way, I do add weight through eating & drinking and I think that it's much more the weight I lose while exercising or after going to the toilet and yet I weigh lower than in the morning. So could my theory be a valid one ?

Thank you elastigirl for the hint. I already had my body measures 3 weeks ago and will try to compare very soon.

Hello, thank you all for your replies. Harriet, indeed I’ve been tracking my calories for the last 220 days 😀 and I’m already below my target calories (1780) that I’m supposed to have in order to lose 0.5KG a week, though I’m not really losing what I expected...that’s why I tried the low carb diet. Now even with low carb, I’m not getting what I wanted. Now, answering your question regarding If i really need to lose weight, I believe i do. I have a few pounds around my belly that I need to shed.

Hello, Well it has been almost 4 months now since I started low carb diet but with almost 1KG only of weight loss. I used calculator.net to know my carb intake while keeping the minimum % recommended by different health organizations, so I diced to go with the 40% carb only which represents around 175g of carb each day to lose 0.5KG per week. 3 weeks ago I started to consult certified trainer (I was 71.9KG back then) who reduced my carb intake further. again, with no noticeable impact. The trainer also advised to eat 4 meals instead of 3 (details mentioned down) I used to practice soccer 2 to 3 times a week, each for 90 to 120 minutes. The trainer advised me to start going to the gym for 3 times a week, but due to the COVID-19 outbreak, they gyms were closed after I went only for one session. Later on, the trainer sent me videos for HIIT/Strength training to do at home and I have been practicing it for 2 to 3 times a week, each for 30 to 45 minutes. Lately I started seeing a strange weight loss and regain pattern. So one day I weigh 70.4 and the next day or two I weigh around 72 noting that I regularly weigh myself right after I wake up. I'm not sure why it's taking me that long to lose those extra pounds although I'm relatively active and I weigh my food and log it. For the past 3 weeks, I haven't exceeded my daily calorie intake even once!
