weight loss is 90% diet you goonsquad
>>35115912
and diet is 100% planning your meals ahead of time.
>>35116000
no it is not.
i plan precisely none of my meals ahead of time, and am down to 181 from ~255
don't even track calories or macros anymore (only because i have a relatively good idea of what i am eating nowadays)
/intermittentfasting/ masterrace.
>>35116020
I will look into that.
Eating the same amount but increasing cardio?
>>35116020
This. Try IF OP.
>>35115810
YES IT WILL
as the other fags mentionned, losing weight is all about dieting.
Cardio however, will really help. Take too fags;
>fag number 1 eats 2000kcal and isn't active
>fag number 2 eats 2000kcal and also burns 700 calories by doing cardio everyday
Now which fag will lose weight faster?
>>35116049
It will do nothing by itself. You need to limit your calories. You can't do it intuitively in your current condition. I went from 330 to 200 and nowadays I can do it without tracking because I've gone through ~2 years worth of 1400-2000kcal and 150-170g of protein per day and nowadays I can pretty much hit those thresholds with a million different combinations, but those are 2 years of habit. You HAVE to track your calories till you can get a feel of how it works at least.

>burns 700 calories by doing cardio everyday
No they fucking don't. 700kcal is a lot of cardio, normies who can't into diet will never pull that off.
You're right though, even if they only burn 50kcal on an elliptical while reading the paper, given that all other values are equal, the cardiofag will be lighter.
Normies however will just intuitively eat a bite more or two because their body demands it, thus negating the cardio.
Fix diet or bust.
>>35116185
Same rate, as fag 2s TDEE lowers to compensate
>>35116229
If you're eating good food and doing IF, it will be extremely difficult to eat too many calories. Specially if you're restricting yourself to one or two meals a day.
Still, getting a kitchen scale and counting every last thing you eat is very important, all the same.
>>35115810
No. Diet will. And 1h of cardio at good pace 3-5 days a week
>>35116185
>700 calories
Thats 40 minutes of jump rope, you nonce
>>35116260
You're correct, but IF just makes it easier to stick to a diet once you've actually planned one. If you just eat whatever the fuck you want, fasting for 20 hours will only make you gorge yourself to absolutely disgusting levels of gluttony once the eating window opens.
Yeah, if you're eating well and doing IF, it's extremely difficult to overeat, I agree. Eating well and timing your meals is exactly what a diet is though. You need a plan. Sure, it doesn't have to be as specific as "250grams of chicken and 70g of quinoa at 16:30" but if you're deciding on specific foodstuff to buy and specific hours to eat them, then you're basically meal-planning already.
Got any recommendations for diet meals, /fit/?
>>35116279
>implying someone who doesn't know how to count calories could jump rope 40 minutes
>>35116361
No. Read the sticky, you shortcut-seeking mongrel.
>>35116279
the question was, can HIIT or cardio help for weight loss? and the answer is a big YES
whoever says otherwise is a fat powerlifter or some 19 y-o dyel punk that has been lifting for less than a year
how long does it take to lose actual bodyfat?
I know you cant spot reduce but if you lose 2 lbs a week how much of that is fat and how much is muscle?
>>35116497
depends how much you weight in the 1st place
>>35116259
False

Actually the question was "Will doing HIIT three times a week get rid of belly fat?"
>been eating 2500 calories a day
>burning no less than 3000
>all lean shit like chicken, brown rice, and greens
>lower belly still has fat that won't go away after two months
>>35116583
>iktfb
>tfw was a fatty fat fat at 290
>6'4 205 now
>everyone says I'm skinny
>still got lower ab fat pouch thingy that I want gone(slowly shrinking)
>tfw don't even want abs just a flat stomach
>tell people at gym I'm dropping weigh still
>why anon you're lean look at the veins in your arm and runing up your bicep
>tfw they don't know about my lower ab fat
>I'm cutting hard this month hopefully it will flatten out by New Years.
>wanting to get down to 190-195ish then maintain for a month and lean bulk.
>>35116756
I was never a fatty, I was skinny fat though, and now that I've been working out abs, my stomach looks bigger than my pecs through my shirt, which pisses me off because I have abs, except for that same little pouch of fat. I can't tell if it's going away or not.
>>35116756
>>35116583
iktfbrehs. im ultra cutting rn with a sub 1000 cal/day diet at 6'0 it's not so bad though.
it doesn't ever feel like the pouch will go away until im like 140 (171 this morning)

What are those?
>>35115810
It will increase your testosterone and assist burning fat so you should do it no matter what. Also listen to the intermittent fasting bros. Also you can't burn fat from the stomach alone goddamnit read the sticky god damnit. God. Damn.
Posture. Anterior pelvic tilt will make it look like you've got a gut when you don't really.
>>35116583
Belly fat is always the last to go.
>>35116833
the muscle you use to suck in. which i do constantly anyways so it's not really any different for me. if you want to exercise it (for whatever reason) you can just lean forward and release your normal sucking in and then clench it back in as far as you can for about 10 seconds. i don't think it has any benefits to aesthetics though
>>35116790
Ohh see I neglected isolations for abs when I was a fatty so everyday is ab day
>>35116825
Keep at it anon I know I am
>>35116901
this, unless you're extremely genetically blessed the belly always gets sucked away last. I was losing weight all over on my last cut but my belly only shrank in the last month before I stopped. Feels bad man.
>>35116185
you do realize people have jobs and life that we don't want to spare 30 mins doing boring ass stupid cardio, right?
holy shit running and looking at around treadmill 5 mins would already bore me to death I can't imagine how people can enjoy cardio
>>35117265
>Running on the treadmill is boring
No shit. Ever tried going outside instead? 30 min of HIIT is the furthest thing from 'boring' I can imagine.
>>35116185
>wasting your time on cardio instead of just eating a tiny bit less or taking gear
seriously, do you pick up 2 cent coins from the streets as well?
>>35117265
get up earlier and run
>>35117265
>Cardio is boring!
You clearly have never done HIIT.
>>35116756
Know that feel bro. At 195 at 5'11, still have a decent amount of fat on stomach. Not a gut but goddammit I want it to go away so damn bad. Still cutting now and plan to through spring to hopefully get down to 180
>>35117399
It's the fucking worst bro and since I was a fat fuck throughout my childhood hood it's like that soft fat idk how to put it but I don't have a pot belly just fat shit is pissing me off
>>35117717
keep at it, i'm basically ripped but have a tiny bit of lower ab fat left.
love handles are gone, that is all that is left. but it will go, just train hard and eat well.
>>35115810
>will working out get me in better shape?
I don't know op, you should try it.
>>35117361
weight loss is just one of the benefit from cardio. You will also experience:
>better erections/better sex
>better cardiovascular system leads to better muscle gains
>better mood
>better looking skin
Should i try IF to maintain/gain muscle but lose fat? At the moment im eating at a -500 deficit, cardio and strength training 4 times a week, stick with what im doing or IF?
