Managing your surplus is certainly a way to minimize fat gain.

Also, leveraging something like UD2 that...

Lot of mis information here and some biased opinions.

All I can say is it works for me and it probably isn't for everyone.

I'm the kind of person that was never hungry for breakfast and really...

A doctor will immediately look to cut me open. Been there done that. Actually had an issue with my right bicep a couple years ago and rehabbed my way out of surgery.
