Weight loss stalled after being 8kg down

Hi, I've been on the slow carb diet a few years ago. That time I got rid of 7kg of fat in one month. Now I wanted to try it out again since it was so good, but it is not the going the same route.

I started in february with 82kgs and I've reached 74,5kgs at the beginning of the month. Since then, I have been stalling for weeks.

What my everyday diet looks like:

  • Breakfast: 4 medium eggs with 2-3 tomatoes, around 1 tbsp of olive oil
  • Lunch: 125g 7% fat pork, 250g of canned kidney beans, 66g of canned corn and half a packet of mexican chili seasoning, around 1/4 tbsp of olive oil
  • Dinner: Same as lunch

If I don't have time for breakfast, I substitute it for a whey protein+creatine shake. (I take creatine almost every day)

I drink a lot of water and green tea so that shouldn't be a problem (I also pee almost every hour)

I train 3 times a week by the same principles as in the 4 hour body, maximum 1 hour per session.

I put a bag of frozen vegetables on my neck for half an hour before bed, 5 times a week (for cold exposure as mentioned in 4 hour body).

It has happened multiple times that I didn't go to the bathroom for 3 days. I started taking probioitics to help it, but that didn't solve my problem.

I thought that maybe the cheat days are screwing my progress so I left it out a week ago but it didn't do anything. I also thought that too much fiber might be why I don't go to the bathroom so I only ate meat, vegetables and yogurt this week but I'm still roughly at the same spot.

I have no idea what I am doing wrong. My daily intake is around 1700-1800 kcal with my basal metabolism being 1700 kcal. I am also usually taking around 4-8 thousand steps a day depending on the day.

Please help me lose the last few kgs before summer.

My info:

  • Age: 23
  • Sex: Male
  • Height: 184 cm
  • Weight: 74.5kg
  • Body Fat: ~16%
