In terms of satiety and micro nutrients and insulin response, sure there is a big difference in the profile of food.
But overall, not a huge amount of difference..

Someone cutting on chicken and...

Speaketh the truth.

Surely on a deficit, 1g per lbm is more than enough? (discounting PSMF crazy bastards)

Maybe I am missing the point but >1g per lb LBM is for bulking, not cuts or maint diets..

Just to clarify, you started at a relatively high weight an high BF%, and have cut all this way down...

If so damn fine job!

I would say though, chasing those last few lbs to hit your golden...

Yeah that seems to be the case... I am seeing modest losses from the cut back in "food" calories, but will continue to ease off on the boozing, primarily because I don't feel like working out the day...

Good read. Some interesting points that seem to backup at least some of my anecdotal findings!

Cheers.. Have a rep :)

Sorry I was alluding to the increase in poor food choices and alcohol... I call it the Kebab effect... 12 beers in a club and a large Doner and Chips at 2am hence weight gain related with alcohol!!
...

Right, so cutting out booze has not affected my weight loss at all...

Before my cut, I would drink heavily at weekends, usually averaging 20+ beers. lets say 5k calories a week.

Check out the Keto section of the Nutrition forum. Absolutely LOADS of advice on Low carb cuts and refeeds.

But as a general rule, <20g carbs per day 6 days, depletion workout on the 6th day, eat...

6'3" here.. I find every lift is the same, except Deadlifts.. But I have had spinal pain since I was a teenager, so I am having to modify it to be a Sumo DL, or partials..

Good luck mate! Long hard road ahead, but will be worth it!

Bit of an echo in here, but I will add to it by saying don't push too hard on the exercise... You want to have a healthy skeleton and...

Thank you!!

I am REALLY hurting today, but its the good kinda pain... :D

My huge turning point in my life was graduating.. What were you studying when you failed twice? (I mean that as a genuine question. Not a dig..)

I managed small businesses for 10 years before...

Want a swimmers body? Go for a swim, and train like a swimmer!!
BBers have a totally different physique to Olympic swimmers. Its a different discipline.

That said, do either... they are both...

Repped and well deserved :)

That is a huge change from day 1.. I cannot wait for the results of phase 2 man! Keep it up!

Howdy!

So 9 months ago I blew up my spine... Finished a squat warm up with 60kg on the bar, and went to set it back, slightly upsetting the balance by about an inch, and whilst re-racking, felt...

Hey surely this is just utilising the equipment to its fullest!
His spotter was getting a ****ing epic leg workout partial DLing that weight to keep it off his chest...

No.. the clothes that fit nicely before are still a little tight around the middle, still a notch higher on my belt and my arse still fills my trousers more than they did.
The only improvement has...

Hey there

So I am not entirely new to this malarky, and last year dropped 24lb over 3 months doing keto and lifting hard.
Due to a herniated disc, my activity levels dropped, and that weight...
