I can't find the study right now but you won't lose any extra fat by going low/no carb (if you're at the same calorie deficit). However, you will lose extra weight, but it will be water...

This, or gum or water.

Nothing is 100% accurate.

Hydrostatic tests, Dexa scans and Bod pod tests are the most accurate, usually within ~1-2%.

The most accurate at home is skin-fold calipers, the more places on your...

****totypes have been dis-proven many times. Essentially any person is capable of having abs, so stop thinking like that.

A former fatass, who's less fat now, who occasionally posts in LF.

I think that's the best way to put it.

The dirt is good for you! Builds your immune system.

It depends how overweight you are, the more overweight you are, the more weight you can lose.

A general rule for the average person is about 1lb a week, after the initial water weight loss.

You're a hell of a lot fatter than you think you are and it will take you a lot longer then expected to reach your goal.

It's worth it in the end though, so don't give up. Your life will forever...

Use sedentary for the days you don't exercise and use light/moderate for the days you do and average it over the week. You can either have a few days where you eat more because you're exercising...

That's not 100% true. If OP is a beginner lifter, it's possible for him to build a bit of muscle while eating at a deficit. That will stall out though.
