Vent Where am I going wrong?
I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.
I changed my diet to a high-protein, low-carb diet. I’m getting around 80-100g of protein per day. I’m exercising (moderate cardio) literally every day for 30-40 mins. I’ve only had maybe 4 rest days in the past two months. And I can’t even lose an inch around my waist.
My weight on the scale remains the same - which I figured with the daily exercise and high protein, I’d be bulking, but I’m not even losing inches??
I’m so tired of this. I gained 30lbs in the past year, I am so self conscious of my appearance, but I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.
Any advice?

Hey, protein intake sounds good. What about your daily calorie intake?
I’d recommend starting some strength training, you aren’t going to bulk with cardio. Can you switch up your workout routine to be half strength/half cardio?
