Default The Dreaded Plateau

I've hit it! The dreaded plateau in weight loss. My biggest fear is that I've screwed around and tanked my metabolism.

I've been cutting for about 2 months now. My weight has dropped from 203 to 187. I'm 58 (5 ft 8 inches) and was carrying a big middle. I've been training with weights and cardio for over 30 years. My body type is Endomorph so I have a real tendency to put it on around the middle.

My average daily intake is running around 1600 - 1800 calories with 15% clean fat, 44% carbs, and 41% protein. Very clean with chicken, beans, cauliflower and broccoli. I do use Reload for post-training nutritiion.

I train 3 times a week with weights and cardio pretty much every day 30 - 45 minutes. I'm definitely seeing definition improvement but my strength is in the tank.

Any ideas or suggestions will be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks! Great forum!
