Cutting general

Pretty good, IF is based

That guy in the pic doesn't even need to cut since is roided as fuck

>>35779738
Good OP. I've been cutting 3 months now and lost 10kg so far. From next week I may cut out cheat meals altogether. Are cheat meals such a bad thing if you still lose weight at the end of the week/don't exceed a weekly caloric deficit?

slow as shit. had a second acl replacement and my knee is fucked. my cuts used to be just controlling portions and cutting out the shit but still eating a lot. I'd add in some light jogging and then run sprints 3 times a week and was golden. now my cardio is just a bike and that doesn't compare to sprints.

Pretty good, lost 3kg in 3 weeks already, from 68kg to 65kg. Goal is about 63-62.

>>35779738
I'm having a hard time with sleeping, so i drink some beers. Can't smoke weed. Are there any other solutions?

>>35779839
switch to a clear liquor. no mixers. alcohol is my devil too. if i can't sleep, i'll take a couple of benedryl and if need be, a shot. gets me over the hump after a couple days. sober up for the week and hit friday for my cheat drink. no cheat meal. just cheat drink

Tilapia is a miracle.

No fat, no carbs, just protein.

100 cals, 20g protein per fillet.

What the fuck.

>>35779839
Melatonin. Eating late and getting into bed when your blood sugar spikes a little later makes it easy to fall asleep. Fixing your rhythm in general, wake up lights and light therapy. Manually adjusting your breathing, breathe in for 4 seconds, hold it for 7 and breathe out in 8. ASMR helps a lot of people to sleep.

Yohimbine is great

>>35780056
Thought so too last year, bulking was great and I ended up starting to cut in February/March, of course way too late.
Started in December this year

>>35780126
So you obviously dont know how to cut or are a fatass, or both.

Why?

>>35780116
Yohimbine HCL?
How about Yohimbe, is it any good?

>>35780170
No it isnt.
Just buy Yohimbine HCL.

Struggling. I was doing really well, then went to a week long music festival which fucked me, came home for a week and was back on track, then went on a beach trip for a week which re-fucked me

Back on track now and no more holidays. I'm gonna make it

pretty confusing, I've upped my cals from 1,000 to 1700 and lifted consistently but cut my cardio out and so far the excess skinny fat has distributed across my body nicely giving me a more even and swole look but i'm starting to feel a little fat. Since i plan on raising my calories to 2400 eventually i'm just taking this week slow and maybe the next too. Gonna keep it at 1700 and see where the fat goes. I'm hoping i'm just bloated and need to take a shit since this is respectively the most food i've eaten in awhile so i popped 3 laxatives yesterday and i'm just waiting for the magic to happen. Does anyone know these ex-disorder eating feels? Can anyone vouch for me that it does get better?
5'9 145ish lbs 19yo

>>35780005
True. At low bf, I guess you'd have to eat much less for the days following the cheat to compensate. Sounds like potential hell and misery. But once you reach 10% bf refeed are recommended right? For metabolism or something. Anyone know how to use these exactly? Will be searching myself too at some point

Lost 9kgs in 4 weeks. Stalling at 111 kgs this week, idk what to make of it.
I'm supposed to lose bout 2kg a week, but since this sunday i'm at 111, ain't budgin. Haven't cheated, don't even have cheat meals or such. Anyone else experience stalling while still really fat?

>>35780546
Either go lower on kcals or actually add some activity

>>35780556
Doing SS, liftan 3 times per week. Eating 1200 calories a day.
Cardio bores the fuck outta me, but i suppose i'll have to get it in.

>>35780579
>1200kcals
Way too low, go calculate your TDEE and take -500 from that.

>>35780587
That would have me eating almost 2800 cals a day, lose bout a pound weekly. Fuck that shit.

>>35780605
>what is consistent weight loss
As I said 1200kcals is doing you more harm than it helps you, eat more. At least 2500kcals at your weight.

>>35780630
Weight loss has been consistent, this week only it wasn't. I really don't mean to sound like an asshat, but eat more to lose weight really doesn't sound like a smart idea. Why would eating more help me lose fat?

Cuts going shit anon, have been losing motivation and am staying at my parents for the last week and a bit where the food isn't cut friendly, thankfully not putting on any extra weight at the moment its staying pretty static.

>>35780641
It's not helping you lose more fat. It's helping you to not lose as much muscle.
1200cals is gonna cause you to lose weight but probably take away any muscle you've built up.

>>35780653
I'll worry about muscle when i actually look like a human being and not an amorphous blob with appendages. But i'll consider your advice, gonna see how the rest of the week plays out, if it's the same, i'll up the calories. Thanks for your time anon

Is it safe to cut for as long as you want/until you reach your goal, no matter how long it takes? Eg: 12 week cut vs 1 year cut

>>35780665
Oh okay, I mean if it's working for you go for it.
Also if you're fat fat don't starve yourself. Lose weight too quick and you'll get stuck with loose skin.

Been going great on an ECY stack while doing Keto. Lost 6 pounds in 2 weeks hopefully I can lose another 5 and then lean/clean bulk to summer keeping my abs and vascularity.

>>35779738
amazing
based doctor prescribed my gf vyvanse and she's giving me 20mg a day. already lost 3lbs this week

>>35780665
I'm an amorphous blob as well, but the common consensus around here is that being a skeltal is just as bad. Keep the muscle up anon.

>>35780686
Nah, never starving. I eat when i feel hungry, got all my meals predetermined, no fucking about.
Loose skin is an possibly issue, but i'm a rich fag and surgery is an option, if all else fails.

Lifts are progressing properly by SS standards, so i don't really feel as if I've lost muscle. If anything i feel stronger. Any theoretical gains i made are hidden behind the fat tho

Not sure if good or bad. Obviously it's going alright but pic related is 6 months. I was pretty focused for about the first 4 months. Then I got lazy and just guesstimated the calories. And I've gotten even lazier now and gotten into IF. Only lost about 5-6kg since July.

question: how much protein should I eat when cutting? 84kg/185 lbs

>>35780896
should I follow
Cutting Diet:
Calories: TDEE - 500 calories
Protein: 1.5+ grams per lb. bodyweight
?

What bodyfat level is the best for doing Yohimbine?
Should I take it now at 15-16% or save it for the last 9-10%?

Is cutting worth it?

Is the strength loss worth it for a few weeks on the beach?

I can't really think of any reason for me to cut since I'm not a contestant and don't really care about having visible abs. I do about 15-20 minutes of cardio after training 4 days a week and my nutrition is alright.

Opinions?

Very shitty. First week went well, then I got heavy ill and layed down for two weeks. Lost alot of weight but I think the most was muscles duo to my lack of appetite in that time. Probably I ate around 500 Cals per day.

>tfw cutting and not losing strength for some reason

I gave up actually. I got sick of slow fat loss, zero gains, and virtually no visible progress. Now that I have to eat university food again due to some life issues, I can't even count calories anymore, which was the final straw. Even though I'm probably 20% body fat I'm gonna just bulk this year and revisit cutting after I have some strength and more muscle. I don't care if I'm strong fat.

Bretty gud. Just finished my exams so I can focus on my diet for the next three weeks.

>>35781350
I agree with that. So would you say that at some point down the line, maybe as you reach a much lower bf percentage, that it's necessary to cut them out? At that point (Eg after 6months) I reckon your body would be well introduced into the fit lifestyle

I'm breddy shit with diet, so I'm cutting solely with estimating calories.

Like today, I had a meal that was 1000 calories for breakfast before work, then at work I had a 400 calorie Huel shake, and once I got back home, I had two strips of bacon, and two eggs scrambled with a diced mushroom, which added up to about 300 calories, I reckon. Then as I was about to go to the gym, I had a small handful of blueberries, half a banana, 175ml semi skimmed milk, and a scoop of MyProtein isolate. Not sure exactly how many calories that added up to though, as I didn't weigh any of it, besides the protein powder.

I just hope I cut better than I bulked, because I didn't know there was a maximum I should bulk per month, and I believed the 'eat big to get big', and put on 6kg in a month.

>>35781375
I stopped cheat meals after my first 2 months

Been cutting for 6 months am down to 180 lbs/81kg from 235lbs/106kg. Feels pretty good am only 5lbs away from my latest goal.

>>35780694
Hey bud, your determination is awesome. I'm not an expert but the other guy is right to be concerned. I recommend you read Jade Teta's T-Nation post about fat loss. I ran into a wall while doing what you're doing and this helped a lot

https://www.t-nation.com/diet-fat-loss/truth-about-metabolic-damage

>>35779738

Going alright. 2000 calories low carb with 200g protein a day at least.

With 25mcg daily t3, 2g of equipoise and 500mg test a week I'm pretty much immune to any muscle loss, I can still probably build muscle and lose 1.5-2 lbs of fat a week with this much calories.

Need some advice here, Currently eating 500-1000 calories on a 2400-1900 deficit daily for a week now, starting to get dizzy when I stand up but im starting uni on Monday and dont want to feint or whatever, problem is im a recovering fatty from 220lbs currently 178lbs so I dont want to eat maintenance yet.

>>35781597
That's a horrible diet plan dude wtf! You don't want to go below a 1000 calorie deficit are you crazy? Especially if you going to school, how do you expect to focus if you are staving your body?

>>35781597
Read the thread.

>>35781203

Can prepackaged food calorie counts be really off? I've been eating well below my tdee, but I'm not losing much at all. Should I just reduce portions until I start getting hunger pains or something and gradually adjust from there?

How low is too low? I'm an obese guy and I've been maintaining for a couple weeks now on like 700-800 calories a day. I have no idea how many I was eating before but a lot of it was complete garbage. I already feel better although I can't go to sleep at night sometimes because I'm hungry.

You should reduce daily calories by 300 and see if you lose weight within a week.
If not, eat 300 less than that.

bigass deficits are viable as long as 1) you get enough protons, 2) you get enough rest 3) they arent big enough to make you fail miserably, personally I do 1000+ deficits when I cut and I do fine, sure I have to deal with hunger and my strength takes a toll but it's all worthy in the end

>>35783148
just deal with it, make up your mind as to what is more important to you at the moment, strength or aesthetics, your strength would only be shit momentarily, once you begin eating maintenance/surplus again your lifts will go up.

Won't you be gaining 5-6kg when you start bulking anyway?
So why not start now?
The sooner you start bulking the sooner you'll get swole af.
Most people cut when theyr'e trying to become beachbody ready, but you're going to bulk trough summer, so you might as well bulk up now and start making those muscle gains son.

A little more protein would make it perfect for the 20/20/40 ratio. Do you not drink protein shakes?

Ok, cutting since December 1 and just now starting to feel the hunger get real. I did take 2 weeks off over the holidays (didn't eat like a total retard though, gained no weight back, mostly just alcohol binging) so maybe that contributed to prolonging the hunger.

Is this normal? I stopped counting my calories because I'm only giving myself a 7 hour feeding window. I've lost 2 lbs, but fuck, it seems like I should have lost more by now.

>>35785955
Shit, should have said I started Intermittent fasting at the beginning of January (this month)

>>35785955
7 is a bit much imo, I usually aim for 4

>>35785992
4 hour feeding window?

Hmm...guess I could make that work. I've just been a little paranoid about not getting ENOUGH calories and passing out at the gym or something.

I've done a crash diet before and had that happen.

Is there a downside to having shakes only?
Will my teeth fall? I could chew bubble gum.
I'm not a fatty, I just made such a good blender recipe that I'd rather drink my calories than eat the oats.

>>35779738
2 kgs more to go. Gonna bulk through summer like a champ

An ECY stack for me would be approx. £150 for 30 days (Ephedrine is 3.5p/mg and Yohimbine 8p/mg, both from Century Supplements)

Worth?

how long will I need to cut until I'm considerably lean? abs and obliques showing but not shredded.
lower body is the only place I don't really seem to store fat, all the fat is in my lower core region.

Not too good senpai and I just started.
I can maintain an autistic level of commitment to my diet but i'm on week 3 of Couch to 5k and me knees are fucking killing me. Squats don't seem to bother them that much so i'm guessing it's some sort of impact pain. I already land on the pads of my feet while running, I don't know what to do senpai. I want to be a runner but will use the bike machine things If I have to for cardio.

Ugh guys. I think I'm dying or have. Some sort of eating disorder. I started tracking calories, and in realize I eat a lot. I was 220 when I started counting , and now I lost 10lbs. Its been 10 days Like. Myfitnesspal says I'll be 170 lbs in 5 weeks but I just don't have it in me to eat food. I literally tried eating at all times in the day. Oats. Fish. Chicken pasta. But I eat 1000-1400 calories a day. Fuck. Am I dying?

>>35779738
Horrible, how do I stop eating sugary bullshit every day? Sometimes I manage to go one or two days without it and then I relapse eating 1700-something calories in junk food. I would be down to 70kg already if it wasn't for all the sugary bullshit I eat.

>>35787645
Fill up on a shit-ton of vegetables and make sure you never go hungry

>>35787688
I do that already and even then I still get cravings. When I manage to not to stuff my face with junk food for a few days I just get irritated, aggressive and mildly depressed. How do I cope with this?

>>35783132
>Also, recovering fatass, was 280 in June...

I have no advice but congrats on the weight loss.

>>35787739
>irritated, aggressive and mildly depressed
Nigga that just comes with being on a cut.

>>35787739
Eat soup
Eat greek yogurt
Eat bananas
Do not eat breads
Do not ingest grains that aren't oatmeal
Eat fruits
Eat salads

How are people on a cut doing cardio after lifting heavy?

I'm on a cut and after I'm done with my routine I can't feel my head and my legs are weak

>>35785955
Count your fucking calories baka senpai

3 weeks already, lost 3 kg.
Is 1kg per week too fast?

194cm @ 112kg btw

>>35787944
I take aspirin and shia lebeouf.

>>35788157
Where you're at if you aren't losing more than 1.5KG per week you should be fine. For comparison I cut and lose about 0.75KG at around 80KG and I feel fine and am not losing strength in the gym.

Do u guys each -500 cal of your TDEE? Or <(your weight) x 10?
My TDEE is like 3k, 177lb currently. Should I eat 2,500 cal or less than 1770 cal?

>>35788188
>i take Shia labeouf

Top kek

Probably gets asked always, but when do you see your abs?

I went from 20%+ to 12.7% in the last months. I'm continuing to lose weight (not sure about my bf) and I still don't see shit. It's like if it didn't matter how small my waist is, abs simply refuce to show.

Not great. It was solid for about 2 weeks, but I've really lost sight of what I'm doing this for. I have a 2,560 calorie limit but the highest I've ever hit was 1,800 up until yesterday. Hit 2,440 and I felt like shit after it, mentally. Didn't do much physically, if anything. Mostly just me being anal and proud of never going over 2k before then I guess. Lost 3.4 pounds in the first 10 days though so that's good. I could be doing a lot better but I keep on neglecting my cardio. Just can't bring myself to do it. It's like I don't even wanna make it.

>>35783366
I dress it up in a little suit and tie, or sometimes in a boy scout uniform

>>35785955
>i stopped counting my calories
There's your fucking problem

>>35788253
Determine what your TDEE is. Subtract 1000 from it. Is it a number above 1200? Then you can safely eat that little each day and lose two pounds per week.

One pound of fat = 3500 calories.

500 calorie deficit X 7 Days = 3500 calories burned. (Minimum one pound loss per week)

So you can lose weight just by calculating your TDEE and logging your calories properly with tools like MyFitnessPal.

It's not enough to just eat better food and exercise more. If you eat healthy food and exceed your caloric intake you're going to gain weight regardless.

Recovering fatty reporting in. Should I keep cutting or bulk?

Currently 178lbs, 5'11.

Pretty good.

I'm on 2000 calories at 6'2" 190, thinking of bumping it up possibly but maybe not. Seems to be doing the trick.

Stopped smoking weed to get a job so i'm never hungry, biggest thing is to not get drunk on sundays.

I want to start running again but my knee is fucked and the doctors can't help so I guess i'll just lift and yoga more.

>>35780674
Yes but your progress will likely decline over time, once you start to hit hard plateaus you might have to eat at maintenance for a week to let your body recover.

How much chicken is in this picture (in oz)? The grocery store near me sells them chicken in bulk cut like this.

I've just started seriously counting calories recently but don't have a scale. I am really worried I'm not getting enough protein eating so little per day

>>35789110

A palm-full of meat is about 3 ounces. That looks like 5-7 ounces of chicken right there.

Definitely invest in a food scale, brah. They're invaluable tools for cooking - especially if you want to do your own baking.

You hitting the beach in april? I won't start cutting till April. That leave a solid couple months of being shredded right in the middle of the hot summer. Right before I start bulking again right around fall time.

Trust me Iv cut to early and then your lean as fuck and have to maintain that for twice as long, losing muscle mass because of lack of calories and desu the chick's aren't even out until end of may June July august in my neck of the woods anyway.

What is Recomp?
Is that like eating surplus on lift days and eating deficit on cardio days?

Does gum fuck up the process oh Yohimbine? I looked at the calories on gum and it says there's 2 carbs in it

>>35787619
WATER
WEIGHT

Also yes, you're dying.

>>35789172
Maintenance, keep progressing on your lifts until you have a bit more mass.

>>35789110
>>35789149
Three tendies raw is about 6-8 oz, based on what I've been eating and weighing for the past few months. Better to overestimate if you're on a cut.

>>35789172
Recomp is just staying at maintenance calories until your body changes to fit your fitness level.

So you lift daily and eventually your muscle will grow and bf will drop in theory.

It takes longer to get anywhere doing it this way.

Bulking is the way to better gains. Clean bulk is slower then dirty bulk but easier to cut later and helps maintain a half way decent physique.

This season Iv personally adopted dirty bulk to really put on size as clean bulk takes fucking forever to get anywhere and desu i like the line backer physique when iv gotta wear alot of clothing. Its winter so nobody sees abs they just see either a big dude or a skinny dude and bulking up you look big and when cutting I look small as fuck wit clothing on.

carb cycle for cutting. Possibly hitting keto if you really wanna lean the Fuck out.

Don't Recomp it'll take you years.

I'm a 6' tall and 220 lbs fatass. My tdee is about 3000-3100 kcal. If I cut at 2200-2300 I'll lose a lot of muscle?

I think that cutting 500 under maintenance is too slow. Could I pull this 700-800 deficit without turning into a Auschwitzfag when I'm done?

Been lifting for three months now, but I work as a carpenter apprentice for a few years already.

great!

followed an anon's suggestion here on eating low carb for 3 days then high carb on 4th day, then 2 days low carb then last day high carb. Lost a lot of flab on my back and I'm at my best proportions compared to when I was taking in fatburners which made me look like a starving skeleton.

Not yet on on my ideal bf%, I think I'm currently at 13 or 14%. But with the pace I'm goin, probably beach ready for our summer (March). Oh yah, supplements is mostly multis, fish oil, whey and apple cider vinegar.

a couple of months in and ive lost 36 pounds...but I look exactly the fucking same, tis the punishment for being a ham planet for 18 years.

Built-fat, former fatty manlet here.

5'4 290+ lbs when i was 14

5'8 204lbs 18yrs old


I've been lifting for a year and have made significant strength gains. I'm currently at 285 bench, 415 squat atg, 475 deadlift (played 3 sports consecutively throughout high school so no e-stats).

I've never been lean in my life but now i think it's time to make the leap, seeing as how i have an ok strength base now.

i want to go into a 1k cal deficit... is this fine assuming i keep my protein high and reduce volume, keep lifting heavy? i'd like to aim for 170-175 then re-asses from there and i want to get this done with rather quickly

This summer will be the first summer I'll see all of my abs, I pray that I have good abs genetics.

I need some help figuring out a food high in healthy fat. As in, the most kcal/fat efficient.
