Is it possible to cut without it becoming painful?

For you.

>>42863018
Yes, considering that cutting is literally just eating below your TDEE.

For example, I'm cutting at a measly 200 kcal defecit, taking in 2800 kcal a day.

Do you think I notice that missing 200 kcal?

>>42863040
lol so you are trying to lose 1 pound every 3 weeks? this small of a deficit almost certainly will not work, if you calculate something wrong or mess up one day then you are back to square one wasting so many days

>>42863074
>if you eat slightly more on one day everything is ruined at it completely resets

Okay kid.

Enjoy your 1000 kcal deficit and all that lost muscle.

>>42863088
dude are you serious? it will take you 18 days to lose one pound this is literally the dumbest fucking thing i have ever heard

>>42863100
And your point is?

>>42863100
>can you do a cut that isn't painful
>"yes"
>omg lol how retarded i want instant results how can i cut at 1000 kcal deficit while not feeling hungry?????

>>42863116
you could just do a high protien low calorie cut though right now im ingesting 800 calories a day and 150 grams of protien

>>42863105
my point is that yea it wont be painful but it also absolutely has 0% chance of working

>>42863025
came here to post this

>1000 calorie deficit
>muscle loss unless you're already lean

No the guy is right, you literally have to weight every single thing you eat and not trust a single label.

Unless you are super lean and only have like 5 pounds to lose then there's no point in cutting that slowly.

Just cut faster so you can hurry up and get back to building muscle.

>>42863100
how is that dumb exactly?

>>42863268
takes too long too many variables too easy to fail and wastes alot of time it is beyond stupid

Just drink a glass of water and a protein shake every day and you'll be fine
You can ignore the pain after a while.

I'm at 1200-1300 a day. Cutting out dairy and gluten really helped. I don't have cravings very often anymore (I also do intermittent fasting, so even if I do sometimes I'll just have a cookie or something and that doesn't usually tip the scale). Cut out breads and most snacks (or if you have snacks cut out a meal) and you'll do fine.

According to myfitnesspal, I've got a deficit of 1000 today. I'm not sure if it was 1000 as there was one meal I couldn't fully account for, all I do know is I've been hungry quite a bit all day.

>I'm an idiot

>>42863354
Also just looking at your pic, you could easily make a 300 calorie version using a lettuce wraps or a low calorie wrap, low calorie mayo (or skip altogether), grilled chicken and less sauce. Not painful at all.

>>42863365
Yeah I'm using it to fuel my willpower. I'm worried I might crack if it gets worse though. Tired as shit all day too

>>42863040
cutting a 200 calorie deficit is just retarded unless you are a natural bodybuilder about to step on stage and are already like 8% bodyfat

you could cut at 5x the deficit with no LBM loss and be back to productive training on a surplus

>a smaller cut is magically dumber than a slightly larger one

I bet you're the same kind of retard that bulks 250+ calories over tdee since LMAO U GOTTA EAT BIG TO GET BIG

>>42863018
>Asks for painless way to cut weight
>gets told to eat at a small deficit
>calls poster retarded and tells him to fuck off

Fuck up cunt. Either eat at a significant deficit and quit your whining or eat at a small deficit and it will take longer, beyond messing around with the amount of cardio you do its literally the only way to do it, you fucking faggot.

>>42863574
This is literally my first reply.

>>42863116
You are the retarded one, you absolutely can cut on a 1000 kcal deficit and not feel hungry. I've recently finished a 3 month cut on a 1200 kcal deficit.

>>42863018
Yes.
Count your macros and avoid carbs, tard.

>avoid carbs

>>42864029
Carbs make you fat.
Fat is good for you. Natural fat, of course.

A good rule of thumb for those too autistic to understand that carbs are worse for you than fats, is to generally avoid processed shit.

I've been cutting pretty hard and I don't get hungry, it's actually a struggle for me to eat enough now. I never knew what you guys meant before. just eat a lot of protein
