[quote=Anonymous]I think I exercise decently and eat an OK diet, yet am massively struggling to lose any weight.  Everyday I run 30 minutes at lunch for 3-4 miles, depending on howmim feeling. After work, I lift weights for about 1 hour and have been lifting for the last 2 years. I am quite strong at this point.  I think I've been eating relatively healthy for a while.  Yesterday I had one cup of yogurt and an apple for breakfast, for lunch just a 1/4 cup of nuts and a banana and then chicken soup with a tomato based broth with potatoes and carrots and a side salad.  That's a typical day of eating for me. I do not snack that often, never eat fast food, and barely drink alcohol. Yet I cannot lose weight.  My blood pressure remains high and I may have sleep apnea.  I estimate that after exercise and with my typical diet, I am living off of 1500-1800 calories per day.  I just cannot fathom that my metabolism is so slow that I need to cut even more food out so that I'd be living only off of 1000 calories or less per day.  Is this a sign of some sort of metabolic syndrome?  I'd think I'd passout if I ate less and tried to workout. It'd also significantly impact my strength training if I ate a lot less food.[/quote]
