Cutting thread? Anybody here cutting?
I've been on a low calorie diet for 2 years and lost a lot of weight. I have a bit more fat to lose so I went on a low carb diet. I don't know if it's working or not, I'm losing weight and feeling tired and my body temperature is going up so I'm guessing it is.
Why would you cut before thanksgiving and Christmas?? Keep riding the bulk train until free food and big clothes season is over.

I'm not that lean that I can just cut for a few months and be ripped. I have to keep it going bruh. And I have some loose skin too so I definitely can't be losing any more time.

In that case I understand. I was in that place last year. We're all gonna make it and next year you can enjoy delicious free gains.
I've been cutting for 2 years from 290lbs to 195 now
Yah Bruh. I can't wait until I can make it. Only 40-50 more lbs to go. I am 5"11 right now. Is 230-220 a good place to be?

Are you trying to get strong or ripped? If you're going for strength that's a good weight.

Ripped
I realized that I had become a bit chubby at 80kg. That was back in March.
Now I'm 69kg and I'll just keep cutting. It's really easy due to the fact that I work a very active job, which usually results in about 12-17km walked daily.
Just 3 meals - 12am
6 pm
9.30 pm
And a protein shake in the morning.
>>34957740
And as for food, I try to keep it clean. For example, today I had brown rice/turkey for lunch; chicken and vegetables for dinner and a mackrel sandwich at night, which in total shouldn't be much over 1800 kcal or so.

THAT'S NOT CUTTING THAT'S JUST LOSING WEIGHT
I've been doing cardio 35 minutes a day for the last 4 months and I've lost about 12Kgs, I was losing about 1kg/week but now this rate has decreased because I'm not so fat anymore (I weight 69kg with 1,80m), how can I improve my diet so I can decrease my fat rate even more?
I'm planning on getting to 64Kgs before starting to lift so I can get some muscles.

If he's losing weight and fat he is cutting. The fuck are you talking about?
>>34957385
Depends. What body fat? Anything above 15% is too fat. So you'd be fucking jacked at 220 sub 15%.
>>34956766
you've been cutting for two years?! holy shit bro where did you start and where are you now?
I've been cutting since August and went from 187 to 161 as of today
>>34957764
>losing weight
or... cutting weight?
>>34957385
you are probably going to want to go as low as 170.
sounds outrageous to you now, but as you approach it, you will find that you probably won't even have abs at 170.
i remember thinking i would be lean at 185, and now that i am 180 i can see i have another 20lb to go, easily.
also a little bit of "healthy" body dysmorphia (or body morphia, as i like to more accurately call it) can help.
just don't be a weak-willed anorexic bitch.
>>34956766
Been cutting for around 6 weeks now
lost 5kg, i weight 65kg right now
Im trying to get to 10% and then start putting on some substantial muscle
I think im around 16% now
>>34958197
You certainly won't have any abs with 170lbs and 5,11.
I'm about 5,11 too (1,78m) and I weight 69 and I still don't have abs. I'm just not fat.
>cutting at 2100 to 2500, 6"6 250lbs
>feel lazy as all fuck all day
>only thing i want to do is sit in my chair at work and not do anything at all
love handles pls go

I guess it's not considered cutting if I'm just losing a shit load of weight but yeah... 2 years. I was 225 and now I'm 140. I know it's spooky skellington mode but I just want some abs before doing a nice slow bulk. What's really getting me down now is this loose skin around my lower belly. I have a feeling it's always going to be there, hiding any chance of looking good.

get 1500 dollars and remove it surgically when you reach your goal physique

Try working out? Give it a few months and you'll start treating it like a game. My rest days are torture now and I wish I was like wolverine or some shit so that I could work out all the time and my muscles would just repair automatically.

I was considering that but the scar from a tummy tuck is so bad that it might just look worse. And I'm trying to convince myself that it's not so bad. It really is nowhere near as bad as the google images for loose skin. When I get into a pushup position, about 1 inch of skin hangs down. I'm hoping that if I cut down to like 8% body fat, it will be very thin and that I'll have abs up top that will distract from the skin. I don't have loose skin anywhere else, not even on my chest, so I'm hoping this area will tighten up too.

lmao. This is me at 5'10.5, 230 lbs. You have a long way to go m80.
But keep going, it'll be worth it.

>225 and now I'm 140.

>>34960001
drop calories and add some accessories.
If you're not doing pullups you're doing something wrong.
>>34960027
i forgot to mention, i have a pullup bar at home and grease the groove by doing 2 or 3 multiple times a day
>>34960056
>grease the groove by doing 2 or 3 multiple times a day
thats not good practice.Focus on doing 4xF sets twice a week until you reach 12 reps.
It will also give you a solid grip (helping with DL)
