No official cutting thread. The hell /fit/.
Cutting thread now.
Post what you eat on a cut, your recipes and calories.
>>34874744
Might try keto diet since I've read it's very good to cut fat. Still seems a bit hard since I eat a lot of pasta and musli. How high should the calories deficit be though?
Liking the filename.
I'm on a cut now, deficit for about 8 months but cutting hc for a month, at 1600kcal a day.
Its gruesome. Today I ate 100g of lean chicken and a bell pepper for lunch.
I just want the bellyfat to pls go so I can get back to progressing. Feel super weak and starting to feel like I'm not recovering fast enough, may switch one lifting day to swimming until the end of the cut to make it easier.
>>34874886
I just made my new progress pic, so here you go.
Its fucking easy with IF. Once you get used to eating only once a day, you dont want to go back.
>>34874914
Damn son, thats good progress.I've been thinking about IF but I'm not sure I could do it.
Maybe I'll try it when I'm on my next cut...
>>34874744
I started out at 103kg (6'1) and was like fuck it, went on a 1500kcal diet for 6 months and went down to 90kg and now I'm on an 1800kcal per day +100 on days I work out. I eat around 160g of protein a day and fill in the rest with carbs and fat. I'm down to 87kg and not very far off my goal which is awesome.
My breakfast is usually the same every day but lunch and dinner change a lot.
200 grams cottage cheese (2%)
72 calories 22 grams of Protein
1 can of tuna in water
109 calories 24 grams of protein
6 egg whites
102 calories 22 grams of protein
Satiating as fuck
>>34874914
What did you eat on rest days to get enough fat?
>>34874996
I dont really go for ultra low carb. I still eat rice and potatoes on low carb days. On these days I get around 100g od carbs.
For fat I eat cheese, fired stuff (yea fried chicken, fish, even french fries,...)
I dont really treat macros stict, only calories.

>>decided to take this week as a rest week, for several reasons
If you're not injured I don't see a single reason to take a week off. Now life fucked you with a flu because you skipped gym.
>>34875043
I am 175cm short.
On bulk, I ate like 3500kcal.
On cut it's around 1850kcal.
But I have days when I go out and eat shit and drink, but I always count everything. Even when I drink, and then for the next 4 days or so I have to lower my caloric intake.
I've Been cutting for a while now, but just went keto this past 2 weeks. I've Started to get super bad headaches literally all the time. No amount of water is helping
what do?
1 serving of plain cereal like bran or rice crispies
1 serving plain Greek yogurt
1 serving of chicken breast sandwich meat
Fruit
Chinese noodles/1 serving of sausages or whatever I find in the stores on the way back
>>34874744
There's never a cutting thread on /fit/ because everyone here is either fat muh powerlifter or starving skeletons.
I started my cut in July, still continuing though I've cut down 6 trainning days to 4. Lost 44lbs in the last 4 months and 11 days. 11lbs a month. Have lost some strength and size but overall happy with the results. Using second bottle of hydroxcut; shit works like a charm
>>34875063
I hadn't taken time off in 3 months, my body was tired and aching and literally screamed for some time off.
>Now life fucked you with a flu because you skipped gym.
No arguments there buddy.
What do you guys think if I just replace one meal with a glass of oliv oil (100ml, around 800 kcals). Would it be good for keto diet?
>>34875144
enjoy shitting oil, idiot
>>34875182
can't see anything bad there, no need to wipe the ass anymore
>>34875218
or controll when it comes out
all automatic mate
>>34875223
Well are you sure about that m8? That would be bad of course. What do you think if I split the amount of olive oil just over the day? Let's say 30ml at morning, noon and evening
>>34874806
Same as a regular deficit of 500, more if your fat.
>>34875100
You should work deload weeks into whatever plan you're on.
>>34875223
Some people are taking 7 tablespoon of olive oil a day and they don't have any problems.
>IF 2 hours eating
>IIFYM, about 150-160g of protein

Yup, for now (2 months cutting) im feeling good, we will see after december.
Keto or Intermittent Fasting? I need to lose 20 pounds.
>>34874914
Did you take any supps that aid cutting?
I've been counting calories for a month and haven't noticed a change in my looks. I took 500 cals off my BMR. Is this correct? Or was I supposed to do it to my TDEE?
Tfw Diwali, Indians across my house make amazing sweets. It's all over bros
cutting at 1800/day
breakfast 2/3 cup steel cut oats, 1 apple, cinnamon, scoop of vanilla whey.
lunch 2 cups homemade vegetarian chili or homemade fresh vegetable salsa, 5oz chicken breast either baked w/spices or slow cooked and shredded.
supper 8oz shredded beef or a huge salad, fill out the rest of the day with sugar snap peas and 0% mf yogurt.
6 weeks left. feels good bros. cutting has made me a pretty adequate cook with chicken and vegetable dishes.
>>34874744
I'm currently cutting and I've a doubt about my calorie breakdown posted here
>>34875151
What do you guys think?
Hello fellas. Im trying to lose weight.
Ive been eating at 1200cals/day for about 2 months and i feel pretty great.
Im 6' 3" , 340 lbs.
Is eating at such a deficit dangerous for my size?
>>34876480
Well you are supposed to decrease calories by small amounts. Anyways the only thing that'll happen is your metabolism would tank making it harder to lose weight but nothing major that can't be fixed
>>34876829
So once i get to my ideal weight and eat at maintenance, my metabolism should go back to normal?
>>34876480
Never go under your bmr
>>34875072

thank you guys for getting me into IF
>falling for the keto meme
My issue is that althought I know exactly how much to eat, I cannot watch netflix or any of my tv-shows without making a nice small meal. So i'm experimenting with 500 calorie meals, 4xday.
Also i've started taking fish oil 500mg epa/dha pharma grade and its helping desu

Dobry progres, skadial si?
IF works like a charm to lose weight.
Lost about 5kg in 4 months but feel like I am now in a state (78kg 180cm) where I can't loose anymore without seriously decreasing my lunch.
So I will try to slowbulk (with IF) my way up to more muscle-weight
>>34876990
>its long-term effects on various physical and biochemical parameters are not known.
All this article showed is that obese fucks can loose weight by eating less.
What a shocker!
Doing IF 1800 cals per day.
170cm 78kg 22-25% bf. I will be a fucking skeleton when Im down to 12% but I just dont care anymore.
After the cut I will have 2-3 months to build some muscle for summer. I hope everything goes well.
>>34877083
Well what do you recommend then to maximize bf loss and minimize muscle loss?
>>34876294
Off your TDEE. Keep track of your weight and bf%. When I cut I don't tend to judge myself based on weight, just bf% as that's more important
Today I've eaten the following:
Lunch:
- 1 cup of shredded lettuce
- 1 cup of tomatoes
- 1 cup of cucumber
- 5 slices of deli turkey
- 150g of couscous
- 2 eggs
- Apple
Dinner:
- 2 eggs
- 200g of pesto tortellinis
- 5 more slices of turkey
>Already at 1600 kcal according to myfitnesspal and daily goal is 1850
>Already starving
wat do
>>34877220
Drink water and eat celery
>>34877220
Cardio and eat another meal. That's what I do on my cuts
>>34877220
I do drink tons of water, but never found that I was able to satisfy hunger with watery vegetables. If anything it almost makes it worse.
>>34877243
yeah I'm gonna walk to the gym and do some extra cardio while im there. Guess that'll burn enough for me to eat some oats.
>>34877220
Green tea helps with appetite.
>>34877220
how big / small are you and what is your ultimate goal? unless you're a girl: why would you set your goal at 1850kcal per day?
>>34874744
What bf % do you reckon op picture is at ?
>>34877313
6''0 191lbs. Wanna get to 175 in 5-6 weeks then slowbulk for another 15.
Regarding the kcal goal, I'm probably aiming for a higher deficit than I should, but then again I don't trust myself to count 100% correctly and would rather be on the safe side.
Been doing this for 3-4 weeks now and have only lost 4lbs-ish.. but I did start doing creatine after I started the cut, and I do eat a lot of salt.
>>34877370
Thats decent process. Any faster and youll lose muscle.
>>34877344
Maybe 15%
1500 cal a day
Why do people find this hard?
Brown rice, tons of vegetables, lean chicken and fish. Never hungry.
>>34877577
manlet detected
>>34877590
You're right, i'm 5'11 king of manlets. When will I learn
>>34877639
your stunted growth is due to malnourishment, descendent of genetics adjusted to reduce appetite to survive poverty.
Would i preserve more muscle eating in a large deficit one day, rather than eating in a small one for a few days? Either way I will be getting the same total calories for the week though, and I'm losing .5 lbs a week so muscle loss should be minimal regardless, I ask because I'm recomping and trying to eat in a surplus the day after lifting days to allow for some decent growth while I burn fat
>>34877832
I meant would I preserve more muscle the other way actually, still half asleep.
But I'm imagining it's pretty pointless to worry about losing .5 lbs a week huh?
>>34877016
5kg in four months isnt what I would call "a charm" thats a little more than a half pound a week
I could eat 3000kcal of rice in one sitting. Add chicken and fish to the equation and tell me I need to eat only 1500kcal in a whole day? fuuck
It's not hard to eat little, but it's hard to not be hungry all fucking day
>>34874744

>Using second bottle of hydroxcut; shit works like a charm
Lol. I'm losing 15lbs a month natty
>>34874914
I'm an idiot.
I'm new to lifting, and I had no idea what the fuck IF is. Apparently, for almost my whole life I was fasting (skipping breakfast) and it kept my fat ass from not growing even bigger.
Probably going to try once a day fasting and see results.
I'm on a cut. Started 6'1 270, down to 253. Do SL 3x a week and an hour on the elliptical 3x a week. Eating like 2300 cals of oats, eggs, brown rice, chicken, ground beef and veggies. Usually not hungry and feel good. Getting bretty good noob gains on SL but know I'll stall since on deficit
>>34878201
Lost that 17 pounds in a tad over a month
I'm thinking of doing 30 minutes (+5 minutes warmup/cooldown) of cardio on rest days.
RIP gains?
>>34878240
It's fine and good for your heart. If you're that worried about gains just do 20 mins of HIIT training instead (get on a bike, peddle for 1 min at a decent speed, then 45 secs at a ridiculous speed, repeat 8-10 times, if you don't feel like dying at the end you're doing it wrong).
>>34878336
Oh, right, HIIT. Forgot about that shit. I'll give it a whirl tomorrow on one of the gym's bikes.
Thanks, bro.
>>34878218
Wew amazing laddy

breakfast: oats with milk.
lunch: ~200g of pasta and 400g chicken breast
dinner: 4 eggs and about half a cup (uncooked) of rice
snack: 200g of chicken breast
ill have two cups of coffee with milk and no sugar during the day
total calories ~3000 according to MFP
cal defecit ~600 according to and average taken of about 6 online calculators
height 6'2
weight 87.5 kgs (started cut at the start of november at 92kgs 22%bf)
lifting 4 times a week, martial arts two days.
This is the second time ive tried cutting i got injured the last time. normally ill eat a few more carbs and drink squash and stuff throughout the day instead of just water. i feel like i can see a difference in the last couple of days, but i feel so clumsy all the time, is this normal?
>>34874914
How much do you weigh now anon?
>>34875072
Stop doing keto.
No, really. Keto works amazingly well for some people and terrible for others. Listen to your body, anon.
>>34876986
Mind sharing what kind of meals you make that are satisfying that are 500 calories each?
>>34877531

A little more. I'd say closer to 20 without reaching it.

>>34874744
>tfw abdomen looks the same but still droping weight.
>>34878156
It's still about calories in, calories out
>>34876480
Eating at that big of a deficit will do the reverse of what you're intending. Your body will assume there's no food around, and start storing fat as a result.
Plus you won't get enough nutrients to feed dem gains.
>>34880577
starvation mode. clinically sound. lol
any lads on the keto train?
>>34880577
But I've lost a bunch of weight and gained muscle and feel great too.
Should i up it to 1500/cals?
>>34878156
That's not what skipping breakfast does boy.
IF doesn't automatically make you lose weight or make bulk that less effective.
It makes you have less meals, which allow them to have more scrutiny than usual, usually resulting in more healthful/filling choices that have less calories.
Big thing is it reduces snacking and really helps heal your relationship with food, because you don't eat simply for pleasure but for sustenance.
>>34880695
There's a reason fat people can lose so much weight, it's because they can cut so much more.
If 1200 is working for you, and you aren't sapped of energy, I would say go for it.
Get your macros and nutrients and that should be enough.
1500 is still really good too, so if you find trouble getting the proper macros in 1200cals 1500 wouldn't be much slower.
Stay hydrated too and moisturize your skin, best luck to you.
>>34880577
Yeah but dat is only temporary.
After a while your body will feed on the stored fat and you will lose weightm
Is losing 1 pound a week better for dropping the bf than losing let's say 2 or more pounds?

you haven't got a fucking clue what you're talking about you broscience cunt
>>34881362
Its scientic proof.
When ur body goes in starvation mode it stores fat.
After about a month or two of this your body goes into emergency mode and has no choice but to use up the stored fat.
Its basic science dude
>>34881431
How does the body defeat the laws of thermodynamics though?

>>34881431
Doesn't it start eating the muscle as well?
Still though. I'm 240 and eating at a deficit is about 2900 for me. I would be miserable if I had to stick to 1200. I'm losing weight at a reasonable pace, feeling good, and gaining muscle. This is all without cardio and only lifting 3 days a week.

So on a scale from 1-10 how bad is this? This is an example taken from today but majority of my days fallow a similar meal plan.
Breakfast- 1/4 cup oats 152 kcal
Snack- 2 med size carrots 60 kcal
Lunch- 3 drumsticks oven cooked. 330 kcal
Snack- 3 scoops protein 270kcal
Dinner- Turkey pita with veggies- 280 kcal
I got about 120g of protien.
1092 calories all together today and I am not hungry at all. I calculated everything using caloriecount and pitapits website.
1500 calorie deficit.
Im 6ft0 at 192 pounds.
I swam laps for an hour, lifted for 45 minutes and than ran 1.5 miles
I lift 3 times a week, do cardio 6 times a week with 3 of those being more intense and rest on sundays.
Ive so far lost 50 pounds since mid august and I have been on a E/C stack for about 4 weeks.
>>34882373
This doesn't sound bad at all. It looks like you could thrown in a protein bar or whatever if you're feeling hungry after a workout.
I wish I had the stamina to do cardio like you.
>>34881848
iktfb
>>34882437
I usually just have either a cup of green tea or oolong tea after my work out.
I was thinking of starting IF and just take my stack during my shift (6am-2:30pm) and eat from 3-9pm but im still not sure if I can eat that many calories in such a short amount of time. Only reason I got fat was due to me drinking over 70 tall cans of beer a week.
My stamina comes from having a physical job. I work in a steel factory repairing the coke ovens so I am always subjected to high heat which increases my heart rate quite a bit and on top of that I do a lot of jack hammering, bricklaying and other labourus tasks through my shift.
>>34882373
as long as you don't feel awful you should be fine. looks kinda similar to a PSMF kind of diet. just make sure to get in enough protein and don't kill yourself in the gym too much
Not included in this pic is that I did 2 Clenbuterol cycles (80mcg/day), I biked over 1800miles this season (thats not a lot), and I have a very active job where I have to walk 10-12miles per day on non lifting days and about 5-7miles per day on lifting days. I also swim laps for 30-45mins after my lifting M/W/F lifting sessions.

The reason I started steron was first and foremost for recovery, optimization of my nutrient partitioning, and optimization of my protein synthesis were secondary considerations... dont care about "getting big" at all.
I am very pleased with the results and the way I feel, my athletic performance is way way up, and I feel great.
My diet is dialed the fuck in. I eat in IF pattern shooting for ~2500Cal / day totals for the day (split over 2 meals):
>120g Isolated protein
>~1-1.5lb meat
>~3oz Almonds
>~3oz Peanuts
>4 Bananas
>1/2 of a large Cantaloupe
>3oz of Berries (Black, Rasp, Blue)
Occasionally I will add a salad consisting of Spinach, Kale, and Spring green mix with some Cesar dressing; Although I plan to make this more routine starting next week.
I am rarely ever hungry outside of my scheduled meal times; and I attribute that to the immense amount of fiber, fat, vitamins and minerals my diet contains. In fact I keep 4 fun size Snickers bars right next to my desk at home in sight as a mental strength exercise... been doing it for 4 weeks and havent eaten them yet :)
been cutting for 8 months now. counted calories and stuff for awhile until i got used to the numbers, now i just estimate it all in my head and undershoot a bit. no processed sugars, no junk food and no liquids besides water. have lost 100lbs since march but still look skinnyfat because i didn't lift much, only did cardio
just a little longer to lose the love handles and i can finally start bulking and go back to eating

Ive been doing IF for a while and just recently added keto and pescetarian to my list of meme cutting diets.
Im not super strict with my pescetarianism, i still eat jello (sugar free, of course) and i still eat eggs but as far as meat goes it's only seafood for me
need some tips for stuff to snack on during my eating period though. I keep getting cravings for carbs and ive caved a couple of times, unfortunately, and i really dont just want to eat fish ALL the time. Its nice for my "dinner" meal but i dont want to get tired of it too quickly

2 cups of milk, 4 scoops of whey, and a ton of spinach is like 90 grams of proton, and about 700 calories. Also, a slice of turkey bacon is 6 grams of proton and 40 calories. Those two foods are my go tos when cutting.
>>34874995

Thats incredible. I didnt know such protein density existed.
218 lbs 5"11

will this hurt me in the long run? What should i change?
>>34883868
That means that your body is running on 800 calories a day. That is not alright unless you care nothing for your health and just want to see fat loss results that could mean loose skin if you're particularly big for your height.
>mfw when cutting
>lost 2kgs

what the fuck guys,
is it because I'm getting more protein even though my deficit is around 650 calories and <40 grams of carbs
>>34884012

I always thought I've been lactose intolerant.
Milk shoots through me but other dairy products, other than cottage cheese sometimes, don't bother unless I eat them in quantities that would bother anyone.

Can anyone link some good info about IF? Google has me on sites saying it will cure cancer which is the kind of stuff my mum reads
>>34875063
If you don't lift like a bitch a week off is good every 2 to 3 months as your CNS needs time to heal.
What do
I need to cut and I have been and it's super easy.
But nofap is tenfold harder
>>34885715
Wear a chastity belt
>>34875072
You might lack electrolytes.
Get your multivitamins and magnesium and shit.
And dont forget to salt stuff properly.
>>34874806

Not gonna make it brah
For anyone cutting, there's a utility on teh web to get the amount of sugar for any food in easy to understand teaspoons

best way to cut?
>>34886264
what's wrong about keto?
>>34876286
Keto if you can handle it
I'm 5'10" and 64 kg, 6.5% body fat and eat around 3500 calories a day, I mainly do weight lifting about 4 times a week and do judo on a Tuesday to be my cardio, I don't have a particular diet I just eat as much as possible but it's always healthy food.
>>34874744
I've been dieting for 3 months now and progressed really well so far, I didn't put anything other than fruits or vegetables in my mouth, I'm thinking on getting a slice of cheese pizza the end of the month, can I do it without hating myself for 5 days?
What is the deal with proteins?
Some says for cutting you need something like 0.6 grams per bodyweight, others say you need 1 gram which is a big difference.
What is it?
>>34884309
I use cheese, cream or nuts.
Hey /fit/ would it be possible for me to drop 60 pounds in 4 months?
>>34888263
It may be possible but 30 pounds is more realistic
How strong should I be before I even consider cutting to end up looking like this guy??
>>34888337
depends, how tall are you? i'd think you'd need to be at most 4 ft tall to look like that guy
>>34888337
Idk, maybe sub 400 squat and 315 bench?
>>34888323
How would I go about doing this? I have lost 32-35 pounds already. And I had started in September
>>34886978
nothing dont listen to him, there's a ton of research backing up its benefits and effectiveness to burn fat
he's just a fat fuck that doesnt want to give up
>muh pasta and pizza
>>34888263
i dropped 50lb in 13 weeks
1000calories a day running 4 times a week walking 1 hour a day
>>34888405
Alright, thanks boss
I want to start Muay Thai and I want to be smaller before starting plus its for a girl
>>34888430
depends on starting weight i was 113kg
heavier tend to loose more weight fast
>>34888456
Damn, right now I am 281.7
Probably going to get around 270-260 by the end of December, Thats how things have been going so far. Started at 315 on September 1st
>>34888471
pounds I mean
On a 500kc deficit for 2 1/2 months now.
>Banana for breakfast
>Just ate Tuna, 2 eggs, carrots and peas for lunch.
Got chicken, spinach, peas and baby tomatoes for dinner. Can't wait for this shit to be over. Got christmas day earmarked as the day I'll be at 15% so I can start dat winter bulk.
I don't eat much so I feel like cutting would be easy for me.
I eat 2400 calories a day when I can and I work out 3-4 times a week.
I fear getting fat while bulking because I really like how my face looks.
I'm not sure if I can do this guys.
>>34888471
>>34888481
i started 17th august 88 days 53lb
sounds like we have had similar results i should be arround 75 kg by christmas 165lb
do u use mfp? do you run?
>>34888529
Also eating 2400 calories is hard for me, my stomach feels like it's going to explode.
>>34888531
I don't use fitness pal, but I think I should
And I cycle, but I am going to start incorporating runs instead because its better for you.
>>34888535
mfp is real good can be a pain in the ass logging every day but usually i do the whole week in one go then alter it if my food changes
http://www.myfitnesspal.com/Steve4239
my diary is open
i just found running suited me better
>>34876865
Yeah but try reverse dieting. Instead of going from 1200 to 2500 you increase by 100-200 calories a week. This allows your metabolism time to handle the extra intake again.
>>34888405
>This
That feel when myfitnesspal won't accept your entries because you are only eat about 75% of your tdee.
>>34888531
What did you eat to fill yourself?
My weight loss has completely stopped, and it's driving me crazy. I'm following the same regimen (with adjusted calorie goals, obviously), but for some reason I'm not losing any more weight. I've tried multiple different TDEE calculators, and they all give pretty consistent results. I know the answer must obviously be that I'm somehow underestimating food calories/over estimating exercise calories, but as I focus on it more and more, I'm not seeing where the error is. It's driving me nuts.
>>34889859
You hit a plateau you need to change out your workout plan almost 100% to shock your body. That should get things going again
So Im at 22-25% bf is it better to cut down to 12-15% and then slow bulk? I just fear if I bulk now I will become a fucking lardass.
>>34889917
Yeah. How much do you weigh currently?
>>34888551
Dude your gonna fuck up your hormones and metabolism eating that low.
>>34889885
Change in what way? A week off, or completely change which workouts I'm doing?
>>34889859
Have you adjusted your caloric intake as you lost weight?
If so how long have you been on your cut?
If its been a while then eat at maintenance for like a week or 2 but maintain your normal workout routine.
Then go back on your cut.
>>34890041
Completely change your workouts. Like for example. If you do machines, you can do the same workout but with free weights. It doesn't have the same support as the machinese do and you are in a different position. Gravity will affect it more and cause your muscles to react differently to this new force thats acting against it. But I would suggest change the movements completely
>>34874744
Ops pic is my goal body. Is it delusional to think that he doesn't have a strict diet? He seems like he has lifted heavy a few years and doesn't care about being "cut"
>>34889917
This might bother you but I honestly would maintain (obviously change diet to a healthy one) for 5-6 months and just go on SS or SL to put on as big of numbers as possible then I would start cutting.
But choice is yours my man.
>>34874744
>cutting in November
It's prime bulking season...
>>34874806
Why not switch to vegetables for carbs before trying keto?
>>34889941
78kg/170lbs and about 11kg to lose.
>>34890128
I'll think about it. Just once would I like to look good during the summer. Even if it means I'll be a skelly by /fit/ standards.
>>34874914
how long between 1>2>3?
>>34890226
It's written on the picture goofy
>>34890245
try again faggot
Anyone done PSMF? Experiences? Tips? How often refeed?
>>34879547
20 kg in 2 months?????????????????????????????????????????????????????
>>34890470
I did it for a week with decent results 1-2kg. Dont do anymore than 2 weeks. Also I think you should have atleast a month between doing PSMF. Read Mcdonalds rapid fat loss book. Its in the PLG dropbox
>>34883702
I'm 6'1 and cutting on 1650...
>>34890544
I read the book fast and it said if youre sub 15% you should do 2weeks and 15-25% you can do upto 6weeks with 2 refeeds a week. So im going to probably aim for 3weeks im approx 15%. Going to refeed once a week i think.
6' and cutting on 1800 kcal and adding about 500kcal of cardio to my workout. Lots of protein.
Seriously considered DNP cheatcodes, but I like my eyes and their lack of cateracts.
>>34890620
What's your bodyfat?
This has been my diet for the last month.
Im scared to dip below 2000kcals at this point because i dont want to lose my progress in my lifts.
Ive also become addicted to malt loaf because its now my only source of sugar as well as diet fizzy drinks.
At the moment im around 183lbs 16-18%bf.
Aiming for around 170 by jan-feb time.
Will i have to re-adjust my calories majorly to hit that goal or am i just better off doing consistent cardio?
guys i really wanna eat something tasty, i have about 1k cals left in the day and im ok with spending it on one meal. what should i eat?
>>34890709
sweet potatoes
man i love cutting
i really need to start bulking, but i just like being a skeleton so much
>>34890701
No idea my bf percentage, but I went from 6'0 at 190 to 173 in about a month and a half.
Has anyone here tried an EC stack? Has it worked fairly well? How long were you on it?
>>34891782
to be honest, if you don't know how to diet properly then it wont really do anything for you except give you a higher hr.
but if you know how to diet then it's a nice little cutting accelerator.
>>34891244
You don't look like you lift.
>>34891244
You should start lifting first..
>>34886288
this is pretty nice, actually. you can look up anything
>>34891782
>Has anyone here tried an EC stack?
Clenbuterol is vastly superior to Ephedrine in every way possible and they have the exact same mechanism of action. Clenbuterol + Yohimbine HCL stack also superior to EC stack, but I have found that its not really necessary. Clen works just fine by itself.
Doing Clenbuterol (80mcg/day) for a month, then T3 (100mcg/day) for a month, repeat as necessary is going to be the easiest, least painful, most effective way to supplement fat loss for the average /fit/ user. Clen and T3 are pharm grade shit that just werks, anything else is either not approved for human consumption or lmao tier results.
>>34883350
You did steroids all of that shit and I've been lifting 5 months natty and look 100x better. Please be trolling.
>>34893798
Grats to (You), nice pic btw
>>34877767
It's funny cause I'm manlet and poor. Whenever I learn I will probably an hero.
>>34893186
Doesn't clen melt your brain or some shit?
I wanna fug some chick in like 10 days and I'm wondering if cutting carbs will actually do anything. I'm assuming it will make me lose a bunch of water weight and make me look pseudo-cut. Does it actually work? I've never done this kind of fad diet shit so IDK. I'm not a fatass, I have a visible 4 pack when exhaling so I'm hoping losing some water weight will make me nice and ripped temporarily.
>>34891244
Are you intending on becoming a trap?
>>34890708
>Coco pops
>cutting
Replace that confectionery with a real breakfast ASAP
>>34874744
debating whether i should add 2 hours of walking tomorrow or go to bed hungry
>>34883658
Are you retarded
Did you not see his picture?
I weigh about 70kg. I try to eat around a 300 calorie meals and I skip lunch, I also cook my meals. I also do 100-200, and sometimes 300 push-ups, knee to elbows when I'm doing mountain climber, squats, sit-ups and dips almost everyday. My goal is to get rid of my belly fat.
Speaking of cutting, I have a decent amount of loose skin from when I weighed 240 and I lost a lot of weight fast and now I'm worried I'll never be rid of it. I weigh around 153 right now and I'm wondering what I should do to reduce the skin. Is it too late for me?
No keto, because I'm diabetic.
>>34890708
>Sugar for breakfast
>Bread
>Expecting to lose 10+ pounds in 2 months
>Will i have to re-adjust my calories majorly to hit that goal or am i just better off doing consistent cardio?
We have no idea what your TDEE or body weight is, but eating shit cereal and expecting to lose weight fast is top kek.
>>34880098
Cycling kills some of that belly fat if you are prioritizing getting that gone over GETTING BEEEEG as soon as possible.
>>34895286
>Speaking of cutting, I have a decent amount of loose skin from when I weighed 240 and I lost a lot of weight fast and now I'm worried I'll never be rid of it. I weigh around 153 right now and I'm wondering what I should do to reduce the skin. Is it too late for me?
Either fill it in with muscle or grab a scalpel.
>>34895122
>My goal is to get rid of my belly fat
>spot reducing
I take it you haven't read the sticky?
Either way, if you're having trouble losing that last bit of belly fat then do intermittent fasting and take yohimbine (and remain in a deficit)
>>34883658
clen actually is a steroid. and not the catabolic kind. read up on it
>>34895336
Muscle is my plan, but I've seen people who still have the excess skin even after getting fit. I just don't want to look like a freak every time I take my shirt off.
So next week I'm taking 3 wisdom teeth out, and when I removed one I ate a little icecream to help with pain, but now I'm doing keto, is icecream even ok for me for at least 2 days?
>lose a shitload of weight
>some loose skin
>hit 67kg
>still a bit log love handles.
Do I just keep cutting? I'm afraid of losing muscle at this point.
>>34895435
Why ice cream? Why not shaved ice and painkillers?
>>34895443
Bruh you look fine. It's all in your head.
>>34895443
Also, currently lifting heavy 3 times a week, running 15-25 km, eating 1400kcal 4 days a week, fasting the rest.
>>34895457
I don't breh. Another angle. this picture is a bit old.
>>34895458
Bump, do I carry on cutting?
>>34895482
Just seems like loose skin, not really fatty.
You could try to get to very low BF and get rid of it, but most people don't want to be sub 10% all their life.
I would suggest keep lifting and be positive.
You have a good body now and it could be much worse.
Some people have terrible stretch marks, some people have scars all over their body (like mine).
Just own that shit and keep lifting, things not in your control say nothing about your current self, so they don't matter at all.
>>34881431
It cannibalizes muscle way before it starts eating at fat
Did you even read the fucking sticky?
if you do a lot of cardio do you still aim for your original deficit? or can it compensate for say, having 100 calories more?
I am eating shit, but having whey (30ish grams daily) and a multivitamin (adams multi), and omega 3's.
Just staying under cal is hard enough, if I try to fully modify what I eat I wont make it, I have my more "paleo-ish" days. Veggies and fruits give me the shits actually..
I am 217lb, 5'7" male and eating 1760kcal a day.
Will I make it bros? Also lifting 4 times a week for 1-1.5 hours, not doing a prescribed routine, but hitting body parts 3x a week.
Goal is to be a meaty 160 lb manlet, 12% BF would be nice.
>>34896538
pick healthy foods that taste good: like steak, chicken breast, eggs, oatmeal, etc. you seem to be on track, just eat well and train hard. remember, you cant drop the weight overnight but every week you will get better and better if you stick with it. if your nutrition is good and you train regularly, your body will show the progress.
you'll make it as long as you stay dedicated. dont be like these new years resolution tards that give up after a week. if you want something bad enough (and I did too, I was tired of being ignored or out of shape), you can get there. eat well, and train hard. don't ever say "dont wanna train this week, i'll do it later", make that progress now. once you are in a routine, it's no problem.
>>34896621
Yeah I was 240 in may, I took a two month break between now and then and now am hoping to be sub 200 by end of january at latest. Wasn't even lifting until a month ago, and I statted creatine, weight loss has been erattic but maybe the creatine causing some weird water flux initially
>>34895445
that actually sounds better, thanks
Question: Do doctors ever give anabolic steroids in a carefully monitored setting with a cycling taper off? I know it has risks but so does men staying fat and muscle-less.
Besides drinking a ton of water, what can I do to keep water retension low? Frustrating fluctuations but I know my count is right and I am losing weight.
Just started creatine also so maybe that is why.
>>34889792
take a look
http://www.myfitnesspal.com/Steve4239
i also drink a gallon of water a day
>>34897245
just reduce your sodium to nothing
>>34874995
>72 cal, 22 grams protein
isn't a gram of protein 4 cals
and how did you only loose 10 kg in 6 months with that deficit??
I'm calling bullshit on your "estimations"
