This is interesting. I always thought that a % of the cardio sessions includes fat burning for fuel. Can you explain the basis of your statement for my understanding?

I am a male 5'9" at 186# at 18% body fat. I started following a calorie deficit plan about 10 weeks ago I was 200# 21% body fat.

Calculators tell me that TDEE is about 2200.

Dude, awesome stats! Would you mind sharing some lessons learned how you achieved such a low BF%?

What the 2 before me said, + to make it more effective consume more proteins than carbs or fat. Try a ratio of P=60%, Carbs 20-25%, Fat = 15-20%.

What is this a math, fractions, class? Totally useless, takes more time looking for your weight than using a calculator.

Hi ev0765, thank for your note. No, nothing against working .to cut first, but I am against getting small, and am not a big fan of low calorie diets. I am aware of the difficulty of gaining mass...

Hi Bl4ckFl4g, thank you for your note. This is what I am thinking.

At 200# and 20% BF the body has about 40# of fat. I will start my program with a caloric deficiency of 2# a week. Lets say 2000...

Dear all, I am writing to ask for validation of my Fat Loss goals. I am a 54 yo male, work out 5-6 a week with weights, and 4/5 times HITT a week. I have always struggle with Body Fat, but I have...

Hi Lead, thank you for following up. I think its a great tool, but for reasons of adaptation I went back to a regular diet. I miss my (Phil's Own) KETO coffee. LOL. Best wishes and good luck!!

Dear all, this is my first post in this forum. I was looking for an alternative to reduce body fat, I tried the KETO diet for a month. I loved, loved, loved the high fat diet, but did have...

Well said, I tried one month and loved the food I was eating. I am back eating more carbs again back to a normal diet (250 gm p, 250 gm carb , 60 g Fat) for totally different reasons. I felt that...

Thank you every for the support! I was a bit concern that I'd be spinning my wheels and wasting my time.

Regards!!

I previously asked this question on the wrong forum.

Is it imperative to reach a state of Ketosis? Or can you still use fat as fuel without Ketosis? I ask because I have reduced my % of body fat...

[QUOTE=WonderPug;908213953]It's totally irrelevant.

A delta in body fat is induced by sustained energy imbalance (eating less than you burn = loss of body fat, eating more than you burn = gain of...

Thank you!

So just let the mirror and body composition be your guides ? What about if you want to accelerate the fat loss, more exercise/less food while keeping protein intake constant?
