I'm trying to cut, should I do a refeed day?
I've been cutting at a 500-600 calorie deficit for a few months, and my 1lb/week weight loss has come to a grinding halt. I don't know myBF%, but it's not THAT low, so I'd be surprised if I really needed a re-feed, but... I wonder if eating at maintenance for a day would kick stuff into gear again?
My face has also become kinda gaunt, almost unhealthy looking... again, BF is not super low, so I don't know why. Again, I wonder if a brief re-feed would get me looking a bit healthier again.
What...

Re feed is stupid. Body makes changes based on averages over the course of weeks/months. Just dip the calories a bit more or try to up the intensity of workouts to spike metabolism

well i already dropped cals by 100-200 since the start (depends on the day), but why is my face looking gaunt even though i'm not losing any weight?
that's my main problem...
I have found that one day of refeed won't do much for your metabolism and leptin.I recommend eating at maintenance calories for 7-12 days focus mainly on carbs and protein to balance all your hormones.You can start refeeding once a week when you get between 12-15% bodyfat or just carb cycle if you want to
Signing up for Planet Fitness today; it's the only gym in my area. How bad is it really
bump i guess
It's awful. The money spent on buying used gym equipment in craigslist is worth it after being there. But if you're a stone cold beginner fatty then go for it I guess.

why 10 pounds, that's a very specific number.
>>36674937
Thought a 25 on each was 85 bc a plate and a 25 on each is 185. Total brainfart. All the other weights were fucked too. 25 and a 5? 95 pounds. Had to rewrite everythinf

Hey /fit/, I've got a mysterious bruce on my bicep / tricep area, and I am wondering if it were an actual injury would I feel more or is it just the discoloration that indicates it?
>bruce
lol
Don't be a pussy.
does it look anything like this?
give me three good reasons why i need anything more than the leg press to develop good-looking, sturdy legs
>>36673718
your height
your max squat
your shit genes
>>36673802
>>36673802
that doesnt even make sense, and i dont care about "max squat" i just want to have legs that look good
>>36673824
>legs that look good
the leg press is for the quads mainly.
Calves, and hamstrings barely fit in this exercise.

How the fuck did i gain 10 lbs in five days of eating at a 300 surplus?
I'm eating 250 carbs 80 fat 165 protein at 2550, i'm 5'11 160-165 lbs (Was five days ago when i last check my weight)
I never read the sticky, but I'm pretty sure it discusses water weight somewhere. Regardless, how new to bodybuilding are you, if you haven't learned that your weight fluctuates depending on water retention and other things then you are too new to post on my Scandinavian fishing forum. REEEEEEEEE
>>36673683
water and poop, my man. my weight fluctuates +-8lbs during the course of a week.
>>36673731
average person has 1.8 litres of glycogen in their muscle & liver.
1.8 L = 1.8kg = 4lb.
thats if you start completely carb depleted.
So what do you think of this lady's dietary advice, looks and prose style?

I know they removed the "health" part from fitness, but this is the board i think i can give the best help and where i can met people who have overcome this problem.
I'm addicted to picking my skin on my fingers around the nails and my acne in the face. Its freaking gross but i cant seem to stop it, feels like a trance-like state where i will only feel good until its done. Most time i start to bleed on my fingers. I guess its anxiety related to some part but my mental health is becoming much better, quit hard drugs, started working out and got a job and...

Therapy time
next time slap yourself in the face
Keep your nails filed short to minimize the damage you can do. Find another socially acceptable way to occupy your hands, like keeping a worry stone in your pocket and rubbing it instead of picking.
I have a similar issue, where I bite the inside of my cheeks and lip skin. Chewing gum really helps because it occupies the time I would otherwise spend biting.

Oh look it's going to be another thread full of horrible nasty body shamers who are all closet misogynists.
You are contributing to eating disorders and UNREALISTIC body expectations in young women

Don't worry, alcohol withdrawal isn't dangerous but your body can hold on a to a lot of excess water after a long binge. Try to only drink about 200-500 mL of water a day for a week or so, good luck brah we're all gonna make it.
>>36674960
alcohol withdrawal is legitimately one of the only withdrawals that can kill you.

I think he meant at my length of intake. I haven't been doing this for a decade, or even a year, so I don't think I'll die.
