what was it like when you had your first real satisfying meals after finishing a long cut?
I could really use some motivation here. literally like 1-1.5kg left.
pls respond
I cut for 3 months. Literally hungry constantly. First meal when I started bulking again was a large dominos pizza with sausage, green peppers, and black olives, box of cinnastix on the side. I felt so fucking satisfied and tired afterwards. I ate the whole thing, had a huge glass of whole milk, laid down on the couch with a blanket and watched a movie. Best feeling I've had eating.

dayum. I want to know this feeling.
did you that whole "2 weeks of maintenance" thing after you finished your cut? did it help?
>>36673019
Im not sure how healthy this is but I cut down 3-5 more pounds extra than my goal weight so that way i can pig out for a week or 2 and still hit my goal cutting weight.
It feels good man

Nah. The only reason I cut is to get rid of the fat from bulking but try to maintain all the muscle mass. Don't want the fat gain to get out of control. I'm married so I don't really care too too much about how I look but still don't want to be a slob

>Not having cheat meals
Busting your calorie count by 500-600 calories once or twice a month won't ruin your cut and makes life way less miserable

If your pig for 2 weeks doesn't massively set back your progress, you must be a pussy in eating lol
I never understood the skellies who complained about how hard bulking is until now, at the end of my first blast, and despite all my usual tricks like massive amounts of milk, oil and peanut butter I'm still struggling to eat enough to gain weight.
I cannot wait to start cutting because holy fuck bulking is going to kill me
why do people think cutting is hard? i went from 30% to 20% just by cutting out weekly binge drinking and shitty processed snacks, and eating more protein. haven't tracked shit and my lifts are the same, can feel my fat mass shrinking.
i'll probably have to start looking a little more closely when i get down to like 14 or 15% but i'll cross that bridge when i come to it

>30 to 20
It's easy to cut when you can replace shit meal's with slightly less shit meals.
>>36675770
You cut from 30% to 20% you dumb fuck. I bet you're underestimating your body fat % too.
Cutting at a high body fat % is the easiest shit. Come back to me when you're cutting from 15% to 10%.

500-600 calories? What kind of gay ass cheat meals do you eat, a couple handfuls of almonds?
>>36675770
Obese to overweight. "Argh, argh, this is sooo easy".
You cut out extra junk food and partying too hard, exactly. Try cutting below 15 and come back and tell us how easy it is.

none of you hve explained anything
what black magic is at work that will prevent me from going below 15%?
when i get to 15%, i will just cut portions a little bit more and increase protein a little bit more. explain to me why that wont work if i continue to lift nd dont lose any significant strength, without memes or ad hominem
>>36675770
im hoping this is bait
>>36673019
I have real satisfying meals every single day during my cut.
Ony 7 pounds to go I'll be good for summer

as i expected, kek
fitness autists on suicide watch because they don't know how to eat without plugging everything into a smartphone

Hormones motherfucker. Your hormones, which regulate metabolism (weight gain / weight loss) , act fucking screwy the longer you're on a cut and the thinner you are. Going from 30-20% is easy because at 30% you are such a fat fucking mess that your hormones aren't really affected. The leaner you become the harder it is to lose weight and variations to dieting, that seemed minuscule when you were heavier, become much more pronounced.

>stall on weight loss
>eat less
why is it more complicated than this?
>>36677233
Holy fuck, how can you be this dumb?

like really do you think sandow and the like, old timey aesthetic as fuck guys counted every fucking calorie and macro?
>>36677233
what are diminishing returns?
>>36673019
Everything is much MUCH more intense.
Sugar tastes sweeter, its really easy to perceive salt and grease.
Basically, the holy trinity of fast food is mildly abhorrent to you.
>didnt stop me from eating it, though.
>just slightly disappointed, afterward
