Weight Loss / Cutting General

Finally broke a plateau of 2 weeks, stuck at 196 and scale today said 194.6.

measured my bodyfat yesterday using bb's calculator with the caliper and i got 16%. Trying to lose ~10-15 more pound of fat by summer. Going to see if I can get some of that Yohimbine for when I walk for an hour, hopefully it does help since my body decided to store most of its fat around my waist which pisses me off.

I've been eating between 900 and 1200 calories a day. I'm 5'2, male and 165 lb. Is this too low? I don't feel starving or anything.

Sounds like you're a good candidate, but you would see better results at a lower BF%. It will still do the same thing regardless of your BF, but it will appear to be more effective in the lower range. Not much to lose, it's cheap and safe as long as you follow the recommendations and DO. NOT. GET. YOHIMBE. Yohimbine and Yohimbe are completely different, Yohimbe causes a lot more trouble.

Good luck, anon!

Ate a whole large pizza last night, but it was the only meal of the day and my first cheat in two weeks.

Shit was delicious, and I look forward to another in two weeks time.

I got my act together last february and lost 50lbs from feb to july. (265-215) i've since gone back up to 240 but made some pretty decent gains as i've been weight training consistently since the first cut started.

Last time around I used EC stack to kill hunger so i'm just wondering, other than Yohimbine, what supplements I should try on top of that.
>inb4 diet, exercise
Both are on point, I just really wanna make a push for 9%BF this year.

Should I keep cutting? I'm still at ~16% body fat but I feel ducking scrawny, I'm not used to this body. Even my family has started saying I look too small but I want to have good defenition. Should I start a bulk?
Thoughts?

>>40043059
I'm male

>>40043099

i'd say keep going desu

once those love handles are gone, start bulking.

Not sure of the answer to your question, but I have a question for you. Did you have achy balls when you were on the EC stack?

>>40043099
You're probably closer to 20% IMO, but keep up the good work. Keep cutting until your love handles and man tits are gone, then do a clean bulk.

Great progress so far, you're gonna make it.

>>40043123

No man. I didn't get any sides from the EC stack. I was taking 24/200 twice a day though. Were you taking more?

What's a good low calorie protein powder for someone cutting on a low TDEE?

>>40043020

check your TDEE and see if 900-1200 is within at least 750 cals short of it. You don't want to overdo it senpai

It's sunburn lol

So let's be honest cutting itself is easy as shit, any tips for loose skin?

>>40043323

If you have loose skin that's not cutting it's just weight loss

>>40043323
Have you considered lifting?

Started cutting about month ago. Was going good now seem to be stuck at 195. Should I try cutting more cal or see what happens next week.

>>40043335

fine tune your food measuring. You may be eating more than you think. Was the case for one of my plateaus at least

>>40043335
What's your stats? Did you calculate your TDEE

>>40043330
You're right dude I'll just lift my way into fitting into 295 pounds worth of skin.

>>40043328
there's a difference? Pretty sure there's no difference.

So i'm down 50ish pounds now but I can't seem to get rid of my love handles. Why are they so fucking hard to get rid of?

6' tdee around 3100. Work construction and weight train and run once a week. Cut at 2000 just to be safe. I'm pretty lazy on weekends just play video games so figured it would bring that down a little

>>40043366
Weight loss is being fat and losing weight.

Cutting is having already lost weight, gotten muscle, and simply reducing bf% after a bulk.

>>40043451
If you're going to be stupid, don't bother posting. Fat people don't cut, they lose weight. Fit people cut.

Cutting is getting stage ready

Getting dry

Getting shredded

I am too accustomed to my weight to lose it
psychologically its become such an integral part of my sense of myself I think I am afraid to lose it.

>>40043561
That's retarded

>>40043561
Why are you on this board?

>>40043586
I put a lot of effort and expense into this fat.. its a sign of my accomplishments..

Anyone have the beat on how accurate the apple watch 2 is at calorie tracking?

>>40043799
i started to bulk too late, so i bulked harder.
when should i start to cut?

>>40043149
Was taking the same amount, my balls would just ache on days I took it. I don't know if it's due to increased blood flow or what.

How important is .8g/1g per lb of protein. Thinking of cutting my after work protein shake or meat out. It would put me at about .5 gram per lb

Just ate a whole chocolate. Without it i would be 1000 kcal under my TDEE. I did good r-right?

Green veggies are my savior. I am not hungry at all. If you're cutting, buy veggies.

Can i get a body fat estimate without showing my chest? I'm sensitive about my gyno.

If you know your weight and measurements you can get an estimate through one of the dozen or so bodyfat calculators online.

I've had meals that are that big.

>>40045456
It's too high, it'll cut off real quick. I recommend lowering it a bit to maintain your weight loss

>>40045462
You must be a big guy.

>>40045358
Do you actually have gyno or do you just have fat mantits? If the latter, yohimbine could help, but it sounds like you're still on the bigger side and your standard weight loss might be enough to get rid of it.

>>40045734
Actual gyno, I've seen a doctor and have surgery booked for May. That's why I'm cutting right now so I can be nice and trim for the surgeon.

>>40043254
>Do I keep cutting?

The answer to this question is almost always yes.

Can you guys give me the rundown on Yohimbine? Never heard of it until now.

>>40046073
Helps with blood flow to your cock, gives you tremors when overdosed in a preworkout, recreational fat burner

I've lost 10Kg since mid November, that's 1.25Kg/week. Is this good? I started at 135 and am now 125Kg but also been lifting too so my whole chest and arm feel much denser.

>>40046073
Helps your body burn stubborn fat at a faster rate than normal. The fat is considered "stubborn" due to your body trying to hold on to that fat to keep itself safe. This is why you see a lot of people that aren't fat, but have a thicker midsection.

There's tons of info at the site in the infopic and the links from there. It's been around for awhile, I'm surprised you haven't seen it here yet.

>>40046392
2 lbs per week (~0.9 kgs) is the recommended "max"

Not sure when you started in Nov, but you can do the math from that.

>>40043020
Perfect if you are going skelly mode.

>>40043006
Nice. I'm 5'9 and been stuck between 184-187 (male) for past few months. Tried switching my diet from keto to a regular high protien one but fuck I don't feel full anymore (although being able to eat bread again is godly) and I seem to be slightly heaver despite increased cardio.

Going back to keto in Feb and focus on getting rid of cheat meals on weekends. Thinking I can reach 175 or less by summer if I just have 1 cheat meal + sweet a month.

>>40046782
Sweet! Ausfag here. Yohombine is a restricted substance. What's an equivalent far burner? I need to have this gut gone by May.

>>40046418
is it good for girls?

also is it ok for more major weightloss (>50lbs) or is it only meant for smaller cuts?

It might be silly to ask but here goes,
I'm a fat fag (232 5'10) and Today I had protein shake before work (construction) and I felt amazing. I didn't eat a big lunch like I would normally do because of it I had a chicken salad and a soup and when I got home I had another shake and I don't feel hungry anymore.

My question is: Is this good to lose weight or will I suffer a side effect or something?

>>40047026
nvm sorry for the stupid question, some quick research made me realize I'm over thinking this shit. My weight loss so far has been pretty good and I'm realizing for a female "stubborn fat" is mainly in the tits and ass so fuck it.

I am at 67 kg 1.70 meters. TDEE says 1800 but cutting at 1600. Sometimes eat even less. Am I doing okay?

>>40047067
As long as you get your other macros in I think you'll be fine. Insulin from the protein might spike though I think?

>tfw i mostly lost weight by dieting
>tfw still high bf%
>sagcitysagcitysagcuty

>>40047310
But you ate the appropriate macros r-right?

>>40047347
hahahah no not really.
When you lose a lot of weight you will have loose skin, i really need to lower my BF% and work out again.

>>40047396
I eat at below deficit. Idk if it really hinders weight loss because of the starvation meme but really want to lose at least 2 lbs a week. I am getting kinda bored of keto.

Is there any backup to the momscience that you shouldn't eat late at night for fatloss?

I've lost 30lbs so far and I find it easy to eat a protein smoothie or some protein heavy snack before bed because it leaves me feeling full and without hunger pains at night to sleep better.

>>40043366
And that's why you'll never make it.

>>40043196
I use this cheap one from walmart, tastes decent, texture isnt weird and I don't have to bother ordering it online. Only 140 calories for 30g protein

HOW DO I FIGHT THE HUNGER.
it hurts

>>40047498
I know that feel anon;-; water and a tin of tuna salad with a lil bit of mayo and a shit ton of spinach

drink a glass of water

>>40043660
Dude, if you're overweight, losing weight requires no effort, no knowledge, no thinking, nothing! You just wait. While if you're fit, but want to get a bit more shredder and cut that last 2% of bf to get to single digits, doing nothing is not enough, there's a lot of planing, diet, cardio involved. If you'll just reduce calorie intake and sit on your ass (which is perfect way to lose weight if you're fat), you'll lose more muscle than fat.

That's actually not any cheaper then large name brand. Get some optimum nutrition. It actually tastes like heaven when mixed with milk. And price per gram of protein it is actually cheaper. At least in the 5lb tub

>>40044175
don't do it bro, you will lose muss mass. find low cal protein shake or turkey breast to have.

>>40047551
Maybe my dream of fucking a qt trap will come true if I look like one as well right??

>>40047614
Duh fuck. I use it as its intended. As a supplement for if I don't have enough left overs for lunch or if I forgot to set out my after work meat from the freezer. Or if I fall short that day I will have a shake that night. Why would a protein shake make you lose muscle mass?

>>40047498
protein, fiber, food that's got volume but little calories, water, watch my600lblife

December was 28% bodyfat now I'm 17% and still look ugly and gross. WTF do I even lift for? It's just become something I enjoy even though I look like shit and am a weak baby that should be shot in the head like an autistic dog.

How do I motivate myself to lose weight when I'm a depressed computer science student?

I'm extremely busy and I want to be asleep/dead all the time, but I also feel like I'd hate myself a little less if I could just lose weight

Get used to it. All your jobs are getting outsourced.

Try pre-med with an inkling of seriousness and get back to me about depression.

I was pre med and switched to CS because orgo 2 killed my soul

plus I realized I'd be a terrible doctor because I don't actually care about people at all

>>40047865
nah, I go to a great school and I'm sure I can get a job when I graduate. I just feel like I have only enough energy to barely get my assignments in on time, so idk how I'm gonna start a fitness regimen. But I want to.

>>40047934
my nigga, similar spot here. Orgo 2 actually stressed me to the point where I inflicted bodily harm to myself as a form of stress relief (trichtillomania and dermatillomania)

Also whatever free time you have, prioritize the gym. After a while you start to look forward to it, even working out can relax the mind; this is how I feel anyway as I'm typically alone in my small community gym.

>>40048012
I feel ya dude. Sometimes after orgo 2 exams I'd go sit in a stairwell and cry for an hour. What a horrendous class.

& thanks for the advice; it'll take a lot of effort to drag myself to the gym for the first time since last year, but I'll figure it out somehow.

Myprotein isolate. Get it on sale and it's the same price as the concentrate. 90cal and 21g protein per scoop, and literally nothing else. No carbs, no fat. Every flavor except vanilla I've tried tastes acceptable in water, too.

I need advice brahs

I was /fit/ as all hell back in 2012-2015 (was captain of my wrestling team) but then my dad died and I got fat

how do I get my motivation back? I have so much knowledge and experience from way back, but some days im just too depressed. I know I have to break out of this though

>>40050236
Motivation only gets you a day or two into it. Don't be motivated. Be dedicated. Just start doing it and don't stop.

Need help guys

Sometimes when I'm cutting I eat something bad and literally a minute later i realize what I just did, it's like my brain sees bad food and completely shuts off.. like what the fuck

>>40050259
its hard anon im broke and I have no weights

I still retained a lot of my muscle from years of training, but im fat. Im basically just using bodyweight and trying not to eat like a fat fuck .. Idk man. sorry, i guess im just whining. I'm too broke for a gym membership.

>>40047468
Due to my job I don't start cooking till about 10:30 at night which means I'm eating past 11.

Lost 52lbs in six months using a healthy diet and exercise. So no, it doesn't matter.

Also, I've read that going to bed hungry can raise stress hormones which fucks up your sleep and leaves you tired all the time, whereas even on my low calorie shit, I feel fine, have a good sleep and wake up after 6.5 hours feeling refreshed and ready to go.

>>40043099
if you start a bulk now ur gonna just become fat, keep cutting

>>40047793
Keep going dude. I'm similar, lost loads of weight but nowhere near my goal yet. You just have to keep at it though. YOU WILL MAKE IT.

Running my first EC stack. Keep having to remind myself to eat at least 1000 calories.

Yea broskis I did it, made the first step this year. Started my cut 14 days ago, was 115 kg morning weight, now 111,5 kg. Lets say around 2 kg of that was water weight, but I definitely lost some fat as well. Lifts havent gone down yet in intensity, endurance only.

Gonna measure again in 2 weeks, hoping to be around 110 kg by then. I'm cutting at 2k kcal a day, tryinna get around 200 g of protein a day.

Fat fuck checking in 5'10" 196lb. Been working out for the year and have successfully cut down 33lbs. s/b/d 315/185/375. Can somebody estimate my body fat and let me know if I'm progressing too slowly or not?

Can I lift heavy on YC stack?

>>40052972
you should probably decide whether you care about aesthetics or strength more. YC is good for looking good since it brings you down to such a low BF but at the same time I have a feeling most people will sacrifice at least a little strength from losing that extra fat

>>40053080
I only want to get down to about 11%. I care about both equally. Besides, I thought strength training helps to mitigate muscle loss whole cutting?

I'm so sorry Anon

Starving myself is easy as fuck for me so I'm trying to do a gradual cut but I'm nervous as fuck about losing muscle. Rn my macros are pretty balanced. Is protein a meme or do I need to get 1g/lb body weight to not lose all my gains from a year of bulking

>>40043099
how is it you look so much fatter than i was at 225, and so mush skinnier than i am at 180

wtf

Im doing the slightly modified psmf diet right now really strict on it.along with IF

I eat bone broth,salmon,talapia,chicken breast,lean beef,oysters,crab,eggs,protein shakes.

For my veggies I have spinach kale seaweed steamed veggies

Im eating under 1000 cal of basically just pure protein alot of water at least a gallon a day.Also alot of salt because youre going to need it

I started at 244 at 6' 25 % body fat exactly last week I weighed at 234 today with 24% bodyfat.I know for the next few weeks It will be mainly bodyfat.My goal is 180 at 10% bodyfat by april I know I can do it but its going to be a tough road

My lifting program is upper/lower
XULULUL
Cardio is done on an empty stomach for an hour in the morning and an hour at night.When I get to around 15% I am going to take yohimbine becaise last time I took it my man tits and love handles went away in a month no other diet,calorie restriction has done that for me.I recommend it
