Sorry dude...
This guy is a fuck tard!!!
Do not listen to this shit...
[MENTION=15745]uppon2[/MENTION]; do you weigh your food and count kcals/macros properly?
when you start out, it pays to do that with some dedication as you can figure out where you may be under or overestimating food portions.
but I'm assuming that you do that.
true metabolic damage takes some time and effort to achieve
(ref Layne Norton's videos on this topic, much better than the one you posted in the OP)
It is unlikely your case if you were overweight/eating more beforehand anyway. It's not about just saying "I have a slow metabolism".
Track your weight and measurements weekly for a few weeks. Based on the changes you see, you might need to increase, decrease or keep your macros the same.
Plus, some people are either fat or carb sensistive ... not most but some.
For these people having a higher portion of their intake as fats or carbs respectively, will make it harder to achieve fat loss.
What macro splits are you on?
Was initially interested in topic and vid, pressed play, listened to him talk for 30secs, dismissed the rest and closed as i imagine it would have been 48mins of fooly shick brah science.....
Was i wrong in prejudging?

Cool thanks @chocchillimango;
Hopefully Layne doesnt break out the spreadsheets and graphs to really turn you on, hahaha
uppon2: just remember that you can't reverse metabolic adaptations and lose fat at the same time. So if you really do believe that you have some then do as CCM says and up the cals for a bit. 2 week diet break never hurts. That is assuming that you are accurately measuring food as is. (even then the actual number doesn't matter, all that really matters is that you are plateauing in weight loss at your current intake and if you aren't willing to lower it (which I wouldn't at your stats) then the diet break seems like the best option)
Getting lean (and retaining LBM) is a marathon not a sprint.
@jzpowahz;
ease up on the diagrams and graphs, we want @chocchillimango; to be able to concertrate and give valued feedback, not be wisked away in to dream sequences of sexy spreadsheets, graphs and other non descript diagrams....
@uppon;
checked your log ... looks OK but hard to tell what the mix of protein, fats and carbs is as part of your diet (ie the breakdown).
It's really just a matter of making sure you get your minimum protein and fat requirements each day and the rest is carbs.
I'd say just give it some time before you freak out. Keep tracking and see if things are heading in whichever direction ... if you notice a trend and it's not right, then look at changing what you do.
It's not mathematically challenging ... it should be kept as simple as possible. The complexities really don't add very much to progress
ps it's great that you have turned your diet around to eating some good food ... it's important to get those micronutrients and fibre, not just the right kcals etc.

I thought this video was absolutely fantastic! It's a fairly long video, but is is extremely informative for everybody!
It's basically explaining and giving advice on fixing metabolic damage which has or might apply to more people then you think.
