Well, I'm 5'7 and I weigh 152 pounds. My body fat percentage is 21%. I want to reduce to 14% – 15%. There are about 2 years I have been really heavy. So I started training, essentially exactly the elliptical and then I reached 160 pounds. After that, I worked constantly for about 5 days per week. However, within 4 months, but I work constantly, I am not able to lose body fat at all. I burn the fat feed muscle program and I do not know what I'm struggling to keep this program.
My training consists of 35 minutes or elliptical, treadmill or bicycle.
My BMR is 1558, then from the book, I eat about 1650 calories per day, divided into 4-5 meals.
I really need help to know why I leveled fat loss?
Or is there something I am doing wrong? I wondered if my body has adapted to the elliptical because I have done for so long?
Any information / corrections would certainly help.

Getting down to a low body fat level is not a linear process. At times you have to take one step backward to begin to make progress again. When you lose weight, you will inevitably reach a sticking point. You can cut the calories further or increase the cardio, but that isn’t always the best strategy. What if you are already eating low calories and doing a ton of cardio? I will discuss a very important eating strategy that will help you break through a fat loss plateau without killing yourself in the process.http://fitnessblackbook.com/dieting_for_…
You need to add weight lifting. Tom Venuto’s system is based on solid science and he advocates lifting weights.
What is happening is that you are starting to burn off muscle instead of fat (by only doing cardio). This has lowered your resting metabolic rate and has stopped your fat loss.
Lifting weights will correct this.
Here is a link that uses a similar philosophy to Tom Venuto’s:http://www.spartafit.com/main/fat%20loss…
I hope that this helps.
