I started doing a mix of intermittent fasting / calorie deficit in January. I eat between roughly 12 - 8 but usually have a smaller window if i eat dinner a bit earlier so sometimes 12 - 7.

I try to eat no more than 1500 calories in that time. Usually less. Eg a 3 egg omelette for lunch (roughly 500cals with ingredients) then a dinner at roughly 800 cals. I know i have my calories quite spot on as i use gousto / hello fresh for dinners. I do no snacking in between.

This had been working great and i have lost 2 stone 9lbs so far. However, In the last month ive lost 2lb.

Any idea whats going on and how to fix?

Edited to add i started at 19 stone 9 and now at 17 stone. Only 5ft 5 so a lot to lose!

Maybe you have reached what your body considers to be an ideal weight

Change your hours around, try eating differently, your body has gotten used to the routine, hope it works for you
