How do I avoid killing myself because I hate my life
Just finished mine yesterday after 4 months on PSMF. So happy to be eating again.
>>37178148
Push through man, the end result is worth it.
>on first cut
>down about 17 pounds
>most of the fat pouch around my dick is gone
>remeasured
>7 inches
I'm still a fat fuck with gyno but that felt good.
>>37178158
Holy shit mang, how does it feel to be free again? What was the damage? Starting weight and ending weight?
I'm 8 weeks off of finishing my own PSMF - been cycling them since January. Started at 345, currently at 254, hoping to land somewhere between 210-220.
>>37178177
>nearly 100 pounds
congrats Anon
been halfassing a cut since New Year's, started at 190lbs. weighed in at 172.6lbs this morning
gonna step things up and take this seriously, want to get to 160lbs before I start eating again
started at 223lbs pushing 30% BF, the goal is to be 180lbs at about 12% BF. idk what my BF% is right now but I'm guessing 20-23% based off example pics. am I gonna make it brehs?
Going great.
Started at 260 lbs 4 weeks ago and now I'm down under 250. Clothes are starting to feel loose.
I'm sticking under 1500 cal per day which everyone told me might be too low but I'm feeling great as long as I don't go more than 5-6 right now I'm really focusing on cardio. I'm trying hard to get up to running a full mile without stopping. Right now I have to stop somewhere around the 3/4 mile mark and walk for about 30 seconds to catch my breath. I'm hoping to get that full mile mark within a week though.
I just want to get under 200 by the end of the year. I'm going to make it.
Started cutting on January 1st at 192 lbs, probably 24-25% BF. 5 months later down to 159 lbs at probably 15-16%. Aiming for 150.
It's been hell not being able to eat, but forcing yourself to wait until 2 PM to eat is really helpful. Also fuckloads of broccoli and soup.
Only thing that sucks is old clothes now look terrible.
I ALREADY SEE VASCULARITY ON MY ARMS, MY OBLIQUES AND THE RIB MUSCLES ARE LEAN BUT MY FUCKING ABS WON'T SHOW A FULL 6 PACK
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH ME
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Cutting is hell :,-(
>>37178586
I'm >>37178269, basically want to do what you've done. guessing you do intermittent fasting? so your window would be 2pm to 10pm, what's the reason to wait so long?
>discover the perfect cutting food
>you'll get mercury poisoning if you eat it more than three times a week
why
>>37178177
>>37178269
>>37178441
>>37178586
Lol it's not a "cut" if you're just starting from fatass mode and setting bodyweight goals. That term is reserved for non-DYELs
If you're dieting for more than 4 months you are/were fat as fuck
207 to 187
i don't really see any difference
>>37178733
I've eaten tinned tuna every single morning with breakfast straight from the tin for two years now and have no signs of mercury poisoning, nor any other I'll health due to it.
>>37178714
I did get it from IF, not sure if it does any of the body fat magic it claims, but I find it helpful since it's a lot more satisfying to eat two decent meals instead of 3 small ones. Cravings at night are what you need to tame, not early morning. My window is 2pm to 10pm since I lift at 7-8 pm.
What are the pros/cons for the different diets:
low carb
low fat
just staying under TDEE
?
>>37178733
Canned chicken breast + omega 3 pills is about the same price and same protein / vitamins content, with no worry of mercury
Also chickens are much more prevalent than tuna
Also if it worries you so much, you can switch to canned salmon, more expensive but 5% the mercury content, you could eat 3 cans of salmon a day and your body will piss out the mercury before a substantial amount can ever build
>>37178177
>220
what's your bf and height? You might be a huge fatass or ripped af.
>>37178710
>FUCKING ABS WON'T SHOW
ever tried training them?
>>37178158
>4 months on PSMF
you what now?
>>37178823
>canned chicken breast
wtf
>>37178823
>tfw you will never be rich enough to eat canned crab twice a day for a snack
>>37178823
Make sure to rinse canned chicken at least three times, it has a lot more salt than you think.
>>>>How long should i stay in a cut? Is six monts too much? Or do you have an other way to measure the time you stay doing it?
breh
>>37178868
Looks tasty but what is it, $8 a can?
How long should i stay in a cut? Is six monts too much? Or do you have an other way to measure the time you stay doing it?
>>37178806
>low carb
low sexdrive
>low fat
you get the hungers. Also lack of energy since fat carries twice as much calories as carbs
>just staying under TDEE
literally GOAT. Don't have any of the problems listed above and you can each a much wider variety of food.
>>37178942
set a bf goal like 12% or just do it untill you look jacked. Maintain or bulk from there
>>37178914
For jumbo lump it's at least $30/per can that size
Apparently you can get a 4.25 oz can of Bumblebee brand "fancy white" crab meat at Walmart for $2.35. At that price I can afford a few a week for a snack probably.
Cover that shit in Old Bay seasoning and that would be a pretty goddamn delicious snack.
>one month down
>from 220 to 207
How's my pace looking? I count calories and keep under 60g carbs/day. Lifting and cardio as well, of course.
>>37178945
Fat controls sex drive baka!!!
>>37178846
I have the abs lol
They just dont show the choco bar they should
>>37179027
bit over 3 pounds/week which i'd say is high but i'm sure a good portion of that is water weight if you've entered ketosis
>>37179431
I don't have keto flu and I thought you had to keep <20g to get into ketosis? The first 5 pounds raced off me so I'm pretty sure that was just water weight.
>>37179450
if you're lifting heavy and doing cardio on the regular you can enter ketosis at higher than 25g/day, every body is different as well
>>37178111
down from 81kg to 72 kg. its getting hard now. losing strength and all that shit.
175 cm
>>37179561
Huh, I did not know that. Like I said, no ketu flu and I've been doing this for a month, but I do cheat on the weekends and have some days in the 60g range. Regardless, I'm getting results so I'm just gonna keep it up.
>>37178111
Last three days I've been a greasy fuck
I just ate at least 400grams of these today. That's almost a fucking pound. I'm thinking of fasting to balance it out and.
>>37179650
one kg is 2.2 lbs
400 gr is one pound, bro.
>>37179579
>81kg
pretty much me right now. Tryna cut. How much bf did you have at that point? How many calories did you eat?
Down from 88g in December to 78kg today. Strength gains still made. Hit a PR in OHP today. Feeling good brehs.
I recently got a girl from work to start cutting too, she said she was jealous of how skinny I got. She's skinny fat but her upper body looks square, probably from eating too much at night since we work third shift.
>>37179803
24%
3 months cutting with 1200 cals a day and about 100g protein.
stopped eating lunch and breakfast. have like 500g of veggies with my dinner. i feel really full after each meal which helps me sleep.
just hungry on the day. and tired until you get used to it.
>>37180087
>1200 cals
haven't you lost a huge amount of muscle mass? I'm pretty much maintaining at 3700 right now
>>37178739
We're here to motivate, tough guy.
>>37178733
SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT FUCKING MERCURY POISONING ITS A GODDAMN MYTH. "OFFICIAL" SAID THAT TUNA, KINGFISH, AND FLOUNDER HAD IT AND IVE BEEN EATING TONS OF ALL OF THESE FOR THE LAST 18 YEARS. ITS MADE UP ABOUT 70% OF THE PROTEIN I GET. FUCK OFF WITH THE MERCURY POISONING BULLSHIT
RRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTT
>>37178868
Implying I won't just catch my own crab
>living on the gulf coast
>blue crab erry day
>>37180250
Do you use traps? Are people just allowed to set them without permits or whatever?
I just made homemade gianduja and ate a bunch of it. I'm now at my max calories for the day, but hey it's pretty late in the day so it's not too bad. Just gotta keep hydrated and occupied for the rest of the day. Boredom is the worst for a cut IMO
Warrior diet effective at all?
stopped working out for the first time since HS last summer and ballooned up to 195. Jan 1 I started a new like all the normalfags but I actually stuck through and now I'm down to 182, going to 175.
>>37180316
It's amazing how much faster it seems to gain weight and fat than it is to lose it, isn't it?
>>37180284
That's tranny abuse. Bad anon.
>moving
>can't afford nice place
>places I can afford have a 1.5 mile walk to the station
>gonna be out all day for that commute length
>can't stop in for food from kitchen
>too cheap to buy food out
>limited to what I can pack
Well, I guess that'll help me lose weight.
>>37180362
Buy a bicycle.
>>37178111
Can you run on a rest day? Is the upper body still resting 100%?
>>37180334
Well, your body can absorb and metabolize around 20.000 kcal in a 24 hour window. Eating 20.000 kcal is hard, getting a 20.000 kcal deficit is potentially lethal.
>>37180334
well for me taking if off took less time, july-dec (6 months) to gain 15 lbs and then jan-may (4.5 months) to lose it.
That is true with strength tho. Takes forever to build and leaves like an avalanche. Even though I'm back in shape now I'm only like 3/4 as strong as I used to be and that's being generous
>>37180433
I don't see a problem with it, as long as you're making up for the calories you burned. I would also make sure you don't overwork yourself and fry your CNS.
>>37180120
not really. i lost 2.5 kg on my bench and ohp in that time. so the muscle loss should have been minimal.
>>37179650
Don't. That's how diets fail. Just keep on as if you didnt do it. Continue the cut.
>>37180287
oh gawd why did I eat so much gianduia? I'm trying to do situps ffs and it's not sitting well. This is the problem with being hungry during a cut: it's easier to over eat in a sitting.
My usual plan works well, which is force myself to get full first on vegetables... at least I didn't pass my TDEE praise be to allah
>>37178111
is watermelon a good snack?
>>37178868
>mfw Delaware
I'll just catch my own crabs desu
>>37178739
here's your (You). gj, now fuck off (probably back to /r9k/)
I was on some meds and it was great... suppressed my appetite and cutting was a joke... my dick stopped working and I had to switch meds.... THIS SHIT IS MAKING ME RAVENOUS. I CANT STOP EATING FUCK
>>37180493
>20.000 kcal daily deficit
worriedlaughter.jpg
>>37178733
Its a meme you tard. Have eaten tuna every day since I started lifting two years ago. No mercury poisoning here.
>>37180213
Anger is a sign of mercury poisoning.
>>37178111
Doing keto. It really does work and makes cutting a lot easier for me.
2000 cals on off days. 2500 cals on training days.
>30g net carbs
>130-150g protein. Up to 170g is pushing it.
>the rest fats
With keto, fast as this releases more ketones for energy Vs 3-5 meals. Then eat around your workouts to maintain/build muscle.
supplement potassium to 6-8g a day with "no salt"
Get 6-10g sodium.
Enough water.
>>37178739
>>37178757
>>37180161
>>37182348
What hes saying is true. This isnt a reddit hug box. You are only cutting if you bulked first. If you are just fat then you are just loosing weight.
IF works like a charm.
>>37178111
Currently trying to cut, or rather die faster.
Food yeah: vegetables, fruits, seeds, legumes
Food nay: everything else
No fizzy drink, no sugar, no alcohol (constantly want to die). Only tea, coffee, water are allowed. Work out every day. Intermittent fasting 3-4 days a week.
>>37182729
Awesome pics. Great size. Look thick. Solid. Tight. Keep us all posted on your continued progress with any new progress pics or vid clips. Show us what you got man. Wanna see how freakin' huge, solid, thick and tight you can get. Thanks for the motivation.
>>37182781
Gonna be cutting for another month, so I'll keep you posted on my final result!
>>37182729
Keep up the good work my dude
>>37182729
timeframe?
bathroom scale just broke, whats a non shitty scale to buy? Had to return a eat smart pos scale from amazon because the weight fluctuated by 5 pounds every time I got on and off.
>>37182810
Left pic was taken during Christmas, been cutting since then, but took 3 weeks off in Easter where I just ate at maintenance, had no gym so just did bodyweight stuff!
>>37182817
wow that's pretty impressive anon
>>37182729
Only if you dont have a physical job where you must eat if you want to keep it
>>37182830
Are you a competitive eater
>>37182801
Thanks man, will definitely keep going. Results really get me hooked.
>>37182830
I work out at the end of my fast just fine. The idea that you constantly need food is just a mental barrier put forth to you by years of societal conditioning "breakfast is the most important meal of the day" "fuel up!" etc etc.
>>37182855
Guy in the pics here- I workout fasted every worout as well. Strength suffered for the first week, but then I guess my body adapted to it. Honestly don't feel fatigued doing it anymore, almost gives me some weird energy high when I workout fasted for some reason.
>>37178739
don't "cut" yourself on all that fit edge neckbeard
>>37182830
kek yes that sounds very common and applicable to many people
Anyone have an infographic about how to use yohimbine?
Recovering fatass here.5'6 use to be 260 currently at 150.I think I made it.Have loose skin,not sure what to do now,stay lean lean or slow clean bulk for gains,i eventually want to look asthetic,help fit.
>salmon, kale, spinach
Fug cutting is awesome
>>37183737
my nigger
never actually cut in my life before. What are some diets that y'all recommend, or that y'all do.
>mfw 5'8 170 pounds full of fat
>>37178441
fuck the haters. I was 250lbs and now im down to a little <190 and its great. keep on keepin on anon, i believe in you.
What is a nice simple meal to eat every day ? Is rice and chicken good
>>37183949
Try adding some veggies there, like broccoli.
just had a big burger and a red bull for lunch
wew intermittent fasting
still got 1200 cals left
>>37182815
Something mechanical, that way if it's shitty and off by whatever amount it's at least consistently shitty.
>>37183999
I never ate broccoli before . Not sure the best way to eat it.
>>37184170
steamed and smothered in hot sauce
Going good. I typically eat the same things.
Breakfast is usually some raisin bran cereal for healthy shits.
Lunch is soup or something equally light.
Dinner is some kind of protein with mixed greens salad.
Only eating about 1200 calories a day.
>>37181677
It's mostly water so yes, also melon or papaya
>>37180316
Fucking sameee. Was a Varsity wrestler for three years in HS, state champ at 220 for my senior year. Never gave a thought of what I ate, and ate fucking everything. Ended up gaining 100lbs.
GF broke up with me a while ago and broke my fucking heart. Been cutting and lifting for a few months now and have lost 35lbs. I wanna get back to the golden days.
>>37183831
Not dieting, track calories and start lifting and doing cardio.
Myfitnesspal app will help you.
>>37182830
Lol what
Started at 84kg, cut down to 62kg, moved to a new country and while setting everything back up "stabilized" at 65kg. Not bad.
Since at 62 I still had huge blobby thighs, pretty much where all the remaining fat stuck to, I'm back on a 1100-1200kcal cut.
It sucks and I sort of wonder how I managed that in the first place. It basically leaves no room for any kind of fun, otherwise the hunger pangs are too much.
>>37178111
>current cut is 1800kcal
>Ate an average of 2174 calories/day two weeks ago
> lost 1.8 pounds
> Ate an average of 1678 calories/day last week

Wut?
5'10 fatty on the road to recovery. Was 315 in September, now at 273.
I want to get down to 265 by mid-July for my family's beach trip, and ultimately get to below 200 at least.
>>37185495
are you 2 foot 10?
>>37185585
169, so close enough
186cm and 121kg currently, 620kg total, wanna cut down about 12kg to be at least under 20%bf. Good thing summer is coming and there will be plenty seasonal veggies, fruit and greens. Starting today, so wish me luck. Also does anyone have good recipes for cottage cheese based smoothies? Its the best protein source if you take 1g/$ ratio.
>>37185790
>620kg
explain
Not well at all.
I've gotten drunk four nights in a row now and have eaten absolutely terribly.
I seriously need to stay away from alcohol.
>>37185837
620kg total for big three: 240kg squat, 140kg bench, 240kg deadlift, 240+140+240=620. Included that cause I'm planning to compete in powerlifting once I'm under 110kg.
>>37179763
Imperial pound is 453g
Metric pound is 500g
What now, faggot?
>>37185981
>Metric pound
Is this real life?
I have about four diet sodas a day
And only eat bit of arugula, green onions and hummus
>>37185999
welcome to civilisation
>>37186003
Civilisation uses gramms and killos.
What should I change about my cutting meals?
Breakfast: 1/2c rolled oats + mixed berries
L: Skip lunch on non lifting days, lifting days I'll have 4 poached eggs
D: 150g chicken breast, 1c brown rice with 1c broccoli and carrot
>>37186016
Do you have anything else besides 4 eggs? Might wanna switch it up tbqh
>>37185543
How's the weather?
How's the creatine?
How's the salt intake?
How's the water intake?
Don't underestimate water weight.
>>37186029
I'll eat more eggs and some vegetables when I'm eating a 500 deficit but when I'm on a 1000 deficit I'll only eat 4 eggs
>>37186010
and 500g pounds and 25g ounces
>>37185543
Watch your sodium intake, also water intake, and the time when you measured yourself. If you just pissed out / shat out 0,5-1 kilos before, etc..
>>37186034
Nope, thats just probably a refference for ameritards, noone in civilised worl uses "metric pounds".
Going from 194 to 150. At 185.
Started at 225 last summer. Taking it a bit slow and so far my skin has kept up shrinking.
>>37186049
Most European countries use some derivatives of their old units in e.g. grocery shopping.
Metric is pretty young senpai.
>>37186001
PROTIP: Don't drink diet soda, or consume anything with aspartame for that matter.
I was fat when I was around 10 and I started drinking only Diet Coke for years.
I now have epilepsy, which started around age 12, but was diagnosed at 16 after a grand-mal seizure.
Too tired to post the medical journals associating aspartame with seizures in mice, but look that shit up.
Started at 70kg
Now at 54kg
Goal is 50 or maybe less, we'll see how the body looks then
>>37186058
>Most European countries use some derivatives of their old units
Been to Czech Rep, Germany, Poland, Italy and all eastern european countries, I never saw anything other thal kilos, gramms and liters when it came to groceries.
>>37186062
okay mom
>>37186066
A-are you a grill?
>>37186071
Been to UK, NL, BE, FR, DE, DK, SE, PO, IT, SP, and only in SP and IT I didn't order in their customary units, but only because I don't speak the language.
Now it's anecdote vs anecdote. :^)
>>37178111
why cutting decrease my strength. should i decrease a bit my lift weight?
>>37185790
>cottage cheese smoothies
my dude,
Oats + handful of spinach (frozen or fresh) + banana + cottage cheese + icecubes + honey/PB to taste
nice satisfying texture and the banana masks the cottage cheese taste
>>37186115
Thanks, I don't really need to mask the taste of cottage cheese because I like it. Have you experimented with other fruit or veggies?
>>37186084
I live in NL and supermarkets only use metric units
The only "derived units" that are occasionally used are still metric, like 1 ons = 100g, 1 pond = 500g
You're talking out of your arse

>>37178984
The tiny cans taste like fishy ass though. Not nearly in the same quality league. Same with the little tiny shrimps in tuna-size cans.
I'm very proud of my results so far,
went from 75 to 65 kg since january.
Stopped counting calories after the first month and a half but those were very exhaustive countings and I pretty much don't need to do it anymore, just by looking at what I eat I estimate if it's okay or not.
The thing that made the difference for me was not eating any carbs besides some veggies for 10 hours before my cardio, I just started doing it 2 months ago and the progress has been way faster.
I'd like to keep on losing the fat but I just can't keep on cutting, I mean, weighing 65 kg is pretty gay I gotta start eating more and start lifting seriously
>>37186128
not yet, i like to grind chia seeds into a powder using coffee grinder and add sometimes for extra proteins + fiber tho. keeps me full longer
>>37186377
>cutting
>stops counting calories
>now he wants to stop cutting because of some dumb ass excuse
>in reality the hambeast just wants to stuff his fatass face
>>37183737
wow that looks really great.
>>37186388
when you're 65kg you're no longer a hambeast man
I'm just too skinny, I don't wanna eat unhealthy food anymore, I just need some muscle gains
Bought a barbell and a pair of weights last week
>>37178764
I see one symptom right now; being crazy enough to eat tuna every morning at breakfast
>>37183949
I agree with the other anon on broccoli. my 4 meals a day are chicken breast, brown rice, and broccoli/ green beans/ spinich/ some kind of green veggie. Steaming > boiling for nutrition but I usually boil 2lbs in some water on the stove, and it lasts me for a few days of meals
>>37178733
Medfag here, do you have any idea how much tuna you would have to consume to get Mercury poisoning? They wouldn't sell it next to baked beans if it could easily fucking kill you seriously.
The only case I've ever heard of at my work was some retard that somehow came across a shit tonne of actual real Mercury. He thought he could boil it down to get gold (????drugs), threw it on his stovetop and boiled it. He died and fuckers in hazmats had to bury his trailer.
TLDR eat tuna faggot
>>37186377
how tall are you
>>37186492
>Living next to the Mediterranean
>Fresh tuna every day if so desired
anyone here using EC(A) stack?
>>37186647
It helped me stave off the hunger and adjust to eating so little, and then I phased it out
>>37178158
> not turning your cutstyle into lifestyle
congratulations, you're gonna be fat in no time again
cut's been going pretty well but I'm about to go to a mongolian/chinese all you can eat buffet with my competitive mma-bro and his long distance runner actual-bro. all of us have a voracious appetite and fasted the last 18 hours. god have mercy on us all.
>>37178111
>233 in feb
>203 now
I'll be very happy once I hit my goal which is 187. Would like to try 176 as well.
>>37186595
1,80
>>37178111
Not only is it going well, but it's also the healthiest, most diverse food I've been eating in forever. Even when making the "boring chicken".
Complete beginner to getting fit here. Currently 25 years old at 5'10 I started lifting and cutting at the beginning of april. My beginning weight was about 185lbs/84kgs. Weighed myself this morning and I'm now at 75.8- 76kgs. Am I going at the right pace /fit/ or am I going too fast?
>>37187050
what is that, looks good
>>37187119
probably around half water weight from cutting shitty food and calories in general, so good pace i guess. could be faster could be slower.
Doing pretty well. I'm sure a lot of what I've lost is water weight, but I'm feeling good & I've def. thinned out.
>7th day in keto
>3 days doing Insanity
>2 days lifting/running
>starting to hate eggs, but whatever
My biggest issue is alcohol. I've got to stay away from it. Not because I'm getting carbs or I don't make room for the extra calories, but the hangover, on keto, is absolute Hell. I was out of commission for 24 hours. That's not how I'm trying to live my life. Not to mention the added costs. I'd much rather buy a pound of salmon than a drink or two.

Why does healthy food have to taste bad? Is it just a coincidence that good food has to taste like vomit? And the delicious ones give you cancer?
Why
Tell me why
>>37187376
what are you even talking about
i have had the greasy ass cancer shit that you fatasses love and it is complete shit compared to actual home cooked food.
>>37186016
up the protein m8
>>37186295
Don't feel like I could specifically speed up the fat loss in certain areas, it just eventually all gradually went away. I'm still holdin on to quite a bit of lower back fat though, gonna be the last part that disappears i feel.
>>37187443
I mean broccoli, leaves, etc.
It has no flavor and it's hard to eat
Compared to real delicious food

We are programmed to like the most calorie dense foods
>>37187276
Chicken breast and squash noodles. 275kcal, 50g proteins, 12g carbs.
I buy small bags of fresh spices and grind/make my own mixes. Easiest thing in the world, night and day compared to the crappy jars you find in stores, and makes everything amazing.
>>37186273
Guess I always had the frame for it, but I just had tons of excessive fat there in the first pic
>>37187511
Sheet son, if you find broc difficult then try cutting just the florets, sprinkle with salt, pepper, lemon juice and olive oil, and bake it. It's amazing.
>>37187572
>>37187518
well at least banana and potato tastes good
And those are healthy so I can eat a lot of those

I am, just taking ephedrine and caffeine.
I take 8mg in the morning + 200 mg caffeine, then sometimes take 8mg in the afternoon.
I can't take anymore than that otherwise I get very uncomfortable. (I took 2 + a caffeine pill once and had to do deep breathing techniques to lower my heart rate. I felt like I couldn't breathe enough oxygen.) It's okay though because it works like a god send and the bottles will last a long time.

I'm doing the dosage scheme from this link:
http://ephedrinewheretobuy.com/ephedrine-where-to-buy-eca-stacks/ec-stack-with-8mg-ephedrine-per-tab
My main reason for taking EC stack is to suppress my appetite. I'm on day 7 now (16/200 - 8/100 - 8/100) and it isn't doing much for me. I'm still pretty hungry.
I'm cutting on a 500 kcal deficit by the way. Hope it will get better once the dosage increases.
>>37187899

this is a basic human function, why does no one know how to do it
I just bought some canned crab meat, and it has:
33cal
8g prot
0 fat

For only 100yens a can.
Good snack mate
>>37188293
Protip: that ain't real crab
>>37188326
Meh, I don't really care, it is tasty, cheap and helps me with the cut. Mix 2 cans and some greek yog and you get a 160 cal snack with 36g of prot and 0 carbs
is it possible cutting too hard can kill your metabolism?
was cutting at 1500 felt meh, trying 1850 now which is about a 400-500 deficit given my TDEE on a regular day.

Is there anything with low everything value that I can eat just for the psychological effect of it? I swear I'm going nuclear over here. These cravings are gonna kill me. I don't even know how I managed to go through two weeks without any chocolate.
>>37188624
baby carrots, celery, roasted broccoli

What about cucumbers?
>>37188656
Cucumbers with lemon and some tajin is pretty good
>>37188624
Gelatin
>>37188624
Watermelon. Helps when I crave sweet stuff.
>>37188624
Caffeine and nicotine blunts my appetite. But then again, don't start hopping onto cigs and nicotine just to cut. I just live in Norway and have access to 'snus', which I only use at home for cutting purposes.
>>37188624
Try intermittent fasting. Get into the mindset of just not eating anything until your eating window, knowing that at that point you'll have enough calories to work with to be able to eat chocolate if you want to. Its all about portion control, eat a few pieces, not the entire bar.
>>37178111
Yesterday morning.. 168.8 lbs. Barely ate since, went on a few hour crosscountry/hill trails hike. Had some water. Woke up feeling dehydrated today. Took an enormous dump. A log size of an arm.. then stepped on scales.
171 lbs. Wtf.
>>37189278
Any good guides on how to do that?
>>37178111
This is my progress from the beginning of February to a few days ago. I've gone from 92kg (dreamer bulk, my bad) to 78kg since then. I experimented with keto at the beginning but now just IF at around 1800-2000 cal, and have one cheat day a week where I'll hit 3000-3500 cal. For macros I just make sure to hit 120-150g protein and then eat whatever until I hit my goal calories.
Right now my libido is almost non-existent, which I attribute to the cut – any tips to get my dick back? Also, BF estimate? My last 2 or 3 kgs I haven't really noticed any visual progress, but I think I'm right at the cusp of losing my lower ab fat and will keep cutting for a month or so.
>>37186639
haha ok that's nice and I'm jealous, but he was saying that he was eating tinned tuna every morning
>>37189392
Try start off with a 16 hour fast and 8 hour eating window. Basically you want to fit all your calories in your cut into that eating window. So you could potentially eat between 12 at noon until 8pm at night, and the rest of the time, make sure you eat nothing, except things with no calories such as water, coffee or tea. You'll find out that if you're not constantly snacking on stuff throughout the day, you'll have more room to have more filling meals in your eating window.
Once that gets comfortable, you can try decrease your eating window to 6 hours, or even 4. Just make sure its something you can comfortably do in the long term.
>>37189397
Dude, fuck, my libidos down too. Not sure if its cuz of the cut or lack of a particular nutrient or whatever. Help pls.
>>37182792
that was copypasta
>>37187822
do you do keto or zerocarb?
>>37189515
Natural stuff I find works; If my libido is down its always because of lack of sleep, i.e. not enough. You're right though, fat has an important role testosterone production.
1. tribulus terrestris is shit. Doesn't work.
2. Gaba is good for a really deeper, refreshing sleep, but one study also shows it naturally increases growth hormone by 500% if taken BEFORE working out. Safe as houses.
3. D-Aspartic acid. Works. Science says so. Also I noticed the difference personally.
Good luck OP.
Been cutting for months. I definitely have visible abs, the caliper measurement says I am around 8% bf. However, my core doesn't seem as cut as others.
Is it genetics? Do I need to cut even more? I still have retained the majority of muscle, but I'm afraid if I go any lower in calories I will just eat my body.
Doing >/keto/ right now.
Losing 2kg a week and am on plan right now even tho I i haven't been able to time my meals and work out for half of the time. Going 3-4 more weeks and then back to low cal. So far I don't think I've lost much strenght. Lifts are at ~80%, but I think that's from the caloric deficit.
It's going fucking amazing, every week I can see huge changes in my body and it's like the fat is just melting off.
Kinda concidering doing normal cut because keto foods suck, but I really think it's what works the best for me.
>inb4 falling for the meme
>>37189818
Belly fat pincher? How much have you worked core?
>>37189964
I measured in the 3 - 4 areas it recommended and I used to work core out a lot, but I slowed down. I just maintain now, but besides squats/deadlifts, I do decline weighted crunches and weighted planks(45lbs) for 2 minutes.
Started 170kg year ago, fork putdowns/plate pushaways + half-assed cardio got me to 143kg in 6 months. Resumed shitty eating habits back to 150kg over 3.5 months. Started watching intake again the last 2.5 months. Currently 135kg. Benched bodyweight last night, feels good.
>>37189492
I guess that's incompatible with doing exercise early in the morning though?
On gym days I usually wake up at 6am, have a protein shake, 6:30 I start my workout.
>>37190062
I workout in a fasted state every time, but I supplement with BCAA before my workouts. Its hardly any calories and helps prevent muscle breakdown. Personally, I haven't felt a difference in when I take my protein shakes as long as I hit my protein numbers by the end of the day. If you can maintain your strength over a period of time on a cut, its a good indication that you've kept most of your muscle mass. Try it out. If you start losing strength, then you can readjust, but personally I haven't felt it- even gained strength on some lifts.
>>37189871
Teach me your ways
low carb, high protein, feel miserable
higher carb, slightly less protein, feel better
same deficit
explain
>>37190110
Also, try use caffeine. It helps blunt appetite in my experience.
>>37190110
I'll give that a try, somehow I was pretty certain that working out on an empty stomach was bad.
>>37190256
I'm the guy in >>37182729, I think I maintained most of my muscle mass. It might hurt your energy levels in the very beginning when you're not used to it, but I felt I adapted to it pretty quick.
>>37190131
Im doing 1000kcal deficit and eating under 20g of carbs a day and not eating large meals. Nothing to teach here.
Also HIIT cardio.

You ate ten thousand eight hundred calories in one weekend? My cheatiest cheat day never broke 3k all day.
Fatass manlet at 5'8, 175 lb looking to cut at 1900 calories per day (500 from my TDEE which is 2400).
How do these macros look? Can anyone give me any pointers?
>>37189871
What are your meals?
>>37190671
Intermittent Fasting. Basically a fancy way of saying you skip breakfast and eat all your meals in a 4-6 hour window. Your body adapts and you can basically cut hard without feeling hunger.
I have a litre of coffee throughout the morning (stimulant and appetite suppressant), eat a 1200-1500 calorie meal around 3 in the afternoon, and then a smaller 400-700 calorie meal at 9.
>>37189964
Mouthfulls of meat and cheese like 10 times a day. It's fucking disgusting.
Okay /fit/ I need some advice here on my cut.
>6' tall
>started cutting from 240 lbs. in June 2014
>ended at 180 around November 2014
>got as low as 170 Spring 2015
>gained weight Summer 2015 to 190 from eating absolute shit in Europe
>started working out (but no cut or real diet) beginning Spring 2016
>ended Spring 2016 at 200 lbs. exact
It scares me being back at 200 lbs. so I decided to do a cut over summer, 3 months total, that started last Monday. I'm doing the same 2 lbs./week cut I did when I was 240, but this time I'm going to the gym 6 days a week, doing strength training 5 days a week, and 30 minutes of cardio 5 days a week. My cut back in 2014 involved no working out whatsoever.
So in theory I'm trying to see MASSIVE losses in fat with little to no loss in muscle mass, hence the strength training. I'm watching macros by the way, so I'm trying my best to get in as much protein as possible. Also doing pre-workout and protein powder post-workout.
Weighed myself this morning and I was at 191 lbs. Hoping to get to an ambitious 160 lbs. by mid-August. 170 lbs. would be nice too but when I was 170 lbs. I still didn't look that amazing, but then again I didn't work out at all then.
>>37190850
Whats your current amount of muscle mass like? A current pic of your body could be helpful in determining the right approach.
Started last week at 17% 81kg 176cm
Plan is to reach 76 or 77 depending on how I look.
First 4 or 5 weeks cut with lgd4033 at 5mg ed.
After that 2 weeks off then after I did my exams start up yohimbine hcl in the mornings while fasting for the last few kg.
I need to be done by end of July when I travel to China to see my gf again and fuck like rabbits and also get lots of mires from chinamen and chinachicks everywhere.
>>37190686
Well, I don't usually bother cheating, the idea of undoing my work just makes me feel more depressed, but as I said, I was drunk and started eating loads, then the depression kicked in after I sobered up.
>>37190716
Fat looks a little low, you shouldn't go below 0.35 g/lb unless you're on the juice, since caloric deficit nukes your hormonal balance and dietary fat is required for proper function in general. Takes long to recover too, not as simple as increasing fats overnight, so by the time you suspect something it's too late.
>looking to cut at 1900 calories per day (500 from my TDEE which is 2400)
You haven't started your cut but you already know your TDEE? Calculators I tried predicted my TDEE at 2300, but I'm losing 0.9-1 lb per week averaged on 2800. 1900 seems a little low unless you're completely sedentary.
>>37182729
Those v taper genetics. Mad jelly
Going too great actually as I have to bump up calories to about 2700-3000 to avoid too fast weight loss. Feels like I'm bulking honestly due all the food.
>>37190890
I don't have any pics cause I'm a big fat faggot but I can give you some specs.
>BP - 145 lbs. (or pretty much 1pl8 if I wanna do at least 3 reps)
>Squat - 155 lbs.
>Bent-over rows - 95 lbs.
>DB BP - 2 x 50 lbs. (?)
Basically my body looks like shit and that cut I did in 2014 showed just how shitty my genetics are. I lifted years ago, back in like 2011, for almost two years and I stopped due to lack of results (100% certain I did things right), which is why it took me like 4 years to even attempt to get back into it.
I'd like to get into Ottermode hence all the cardio and the goal of 160 lbs. I'm sure I gained muscle mass cause I ate like a fucking retarded pig this spring when I got back into lifting.
Thing is that I don't even know if my hips will shrink. I know a lot of people think somatotypes are bullshit but if they're real I'm definitely endomorphic.
>>37191017
Its impossible you were doing things right for 2 years with those stats. But that aside, you don't need to go crazy with the frequency in cardio and lifting. Make sure your calories are at a small deficit, focus primarily on getting your compound lifts up over a period of time, progressive overload is everything. I'm guessing you can still make some strength and muscle gain while cutting at this point, but don't be discouraged if you dont, just try and lean down and maintain strength above all else.
Whats your routine like? Is it just a bodypart split, or are you hitting some groups twice a week (PPLPPL) or?
Anyone here have tips for leaving skinnyfat mode behind? I'm 6' ~180lbs, trying to lift at least 4 times a week and eat clean. Should I throw some cardio in on my off days?
>>37192420
*psst* hey kid, ever heard of lifting?
>>37192420
Cutting is mostly diet imo. But you can try throw in some moderate cardio on your offdays, but keep track of your lifts and make sure you aren't losing strength out of nowhere.
