Forum: Advanced fat loss

Since January 1st I have lost 16 pounds. 5 pounds of that is muscle. I am eating at or above my 1 gram of protein per lbm. I know this varies from person to person and I am not looking for an absolute on anything. I am just curious as to what other people are seeing. Basically I have lost...

I'm 17 years old, I normally workout 4 days a week, I run in the morning (sunday, tuesday, thursday) and saturday I run in the afternoon. After running, I do abs (all 4 days after running) and head over to the bars after that. I've been working out ever since I am 13 and my only goal is to lose...

Hi, I am losing weight as we speak. I went from 191 to 165 eating 1500 calories, and am happy (picture isn't current) However, if I switch to low carb and then later back to low calorie... Could I screw up my diet? Idk what a normal cycle of low carbing is but I'd do that and go back to...

Hey guys, Definitely a follower of IF and IIFYM, but reading this study concerned me as far as it's statements about frequent protein feedings and their effect on LBM, body composition.. ", a study by Arciero et al.20 did show significant improvements in body composition when an...

Hi ☺. My name is Daniel, i am 16 years old almost 17. I weight about 149 lbs and im 5' 7". 8 months ago i weighed about 218 lbs and have lost a lot over the last few months. I still have a lot of fat around my belly and chest (particular my chest) and it's really bothering me, i'm too embarresed to...

I always thought that extra carbs were converted to fat but I found out that was wrong so I was wondering if anyone could give me an explanation of what actually happens. This may have already been a thread but I couldn't find it.

Hey guys! I am new to the forums, so I apologize if this question is in the wrong category. I am really dedicated to lowering my body fat percentage and live a healthy lifestyle (and not just "cutting up" for summer, but for the long term). I have a question I hope that somebody can help clarify: ...

I started back at the gym at the beginning of February and have lost about 9lbs. I am 5'2 and started at 162. I have dropped to 153 and think I can get down to 145. I can't seem to shed my little belly but I also think I am getting frustrated to quickly... It's only been about 3 months since I...

A little back story... i lost almost 100 lbs when i was 22-24, from 280 down to 188 or so over a year and a half, and kind of leveled. i was totally OK with this for a few years, all the praise was great... except i would occasionally bounce between 190-200 at 5' 11. i estimate i should be around...

Hello ladies and gents. My new job has gotten me to drop weight rather fast (very physically demanding) so I thought going to the gym while working would be a good choice. I've been doing research online and my results are inconclusive. I've read whey is better than Casien and I've read Casien is...

Ok so I've been intermittent Fasting for the past 2 months, I got to the gym 5 days a week Mon-Fri and on weekends I walk 10000 steps. I do weight training for a hour or so and a 1 hour boxing class for a hour Tues and Thur. I eat pretty healthy after my fasting period which is 5 hours eating...

So long story short, used to train mma, stopped for personal reasons. Didnt workout for 3 and half years. Now im back at it. Its been about a month and ive lost 25 lbs. I go to La fitness everyday for about 2 hours doing weights mostly, then I hit the track, and jog about 4 miles everyday. First...

A friend of mine told me a theory. Lets say two people eat the same amount of food and number 1 has more water in a day than number 2. When water (neutral ph, not base, not acid) is consumed, and then near that time you eat, you will gain more weight, because your stomach acid will be diluted...

Hi guys. So my goal is to lose fat. I weigh 63kg. 155cm. Eating 1600kcal a day. I train 1.5 - 2 hours a day, 6 days a week. Will try cutting this down so as to avoid burnout. Already lost 3kg in 2 weeks. I can already see an improvement in my body. Toner legs and firmer glutes. Slimmer tummy. Etc....

Does this type of diet work for losing fat? I'd like to pass from my actual 13% to an 8%,no matter the time,how i should organise it?

Hello, Im down to around 14% bodyfat. Veins and abs are start to show but weight loss seems to have stopped - 3 weeks and not a pound up or down. Ive so far lost a stone to give you an idea. Im thinking of carb cycling. Low days (not training at all) very low - less than 50g carbs -...

I know this seems like it is not a fat loss question, but if you read this entire post you will understand. I started my research tonight on belly wraps and have pretty well split the debate in to two sides: 1) those who see the benefits of abdominal support for those with weak backs, skin...

I'm writing to get some answers for a questions I've been wondering for a while now. I'm a 24 year old male currently 245lbs and about 25%bf. At my heaviest I was 405lbs and dropped about 60% of that and dropped to 200lbs for a short time. I was disqualified from enlisting into the marine corps...
