Is keto a must for losing love handles and belly fat? I've

It'll make it much easier but you don't really have to if all you want to get rid of is love handles. Just up your cardio time and keep at it a couple more months, the last ten pounds take forever.

Ok. I'm at 201lbs now at 6ft. I'm hoping by the time I get to around 180 they'll be gone for the most part. Then I can start bulking. Lifting on a cut sucks.

Starvation mode or 2/3 times as long on keto

You wont get rid of gut without work

Even then you need to tone your abs to look good or your stomach will still look pretty bad. Blocky, flaby or just plain skelly.

Also remember to focus on your glutes AFTER you've lost enough weight, they shape your sides to look less flabby.

>bulking maymay

SS type fags will moan but it all you really need is enough protein and lots of nitrogens from natural sources. The only time you ever encounter significant muscle loss from lack of calories(if you are eating at maintenance) is during sleep fast.

It does cut your gains by a bit but not enough to warrant looking like a fat fuck all winter.

Well I'm at like a 500 deficit now. When I bulk I would only eat at a 200-300 surplus. Nothing insane like 500 or higher lol.

If you're male, your gut and love handles are typically the last to go. There is a genetic component, but it's typically around 12-14% bodyfat that they finally leave.

Don't be disheartened.

Your gut and lower back fat will still diminish as you lose weight. It's just that your body still likes to hang onto it more than the rest of your body, so while it's harder to get rid of it, it's only really a little bit behind the rest of your body in terms of fat loss. Your gut/handles are shrinking, but you can't really tell since they always lag a little bit behind the rest of your physique.

This is why most people hate bulking beyond 14%. That midsection fat is unaesthetic as shit.
