You should have labeled your post correctly, the real statement is "I'm worried about losing muscle if I CUT."

When you cut, you're taking in less calories than your body needs to maintain itself....

I'll answer the second part of your question first. It depends. The effect your cardio has on actual fat levels in your body, is related to the glycogen stores in your body, and to some extent...

My suggestion would be to monitor your calories.

If you can't be bothered to do that, at the very least keep a food journal. This way, if after a few weeks, you're not losing weight, you'll know...

Here's the bad news kid, you gotta live with it for a bit.

I had it in high school, and it SUCKED. Basically, I wore really tight wifebeaters under my shirts to try to keep it held back and less...

Well, the real question is, what do you like to eat?

I guarantee you, if there's a meal that you enjoy, there's a healthy way to prepare it.

Like burgers? Eat turkey burgers on whole wheat...

Just switched from my daily eliptical routine over to the treadmill.

I hit a plateau around 230 lbs and decided to switch things up in the gym a bit. Anyway, my usual eliptical routine was 4...

Hey man,

I'm 26 and I was around your size when I started, saw almost no drop on the scale the first few weeks. Then i started losing a pound or two every week. Then I'd have one week where the...

First off, great jobs dropping the weight.

Secondly, I know exactly where you're coming from. I went from 250 down to 230 in 2 months. My goal was to be below 230 by this weekend, but I find the...

Ok, my usual cardio workout that I do 4 days a week is a 30 minute eliptical routine. I use the pre-programmed "Interval" setting. It allows me to automatically change the resistance every 2 minutes....

Thanks so much for the comments guys, can't wait to post next months progress pic.

I can definitely see a bit of a difference, what do you guys think?

Ok, as a bartender who is currently cutting, I'd be happy to give you some advice.

First things first, I wouldn't necessarily recommend combining drinking with your "cheat day". It's easy to let...

One, what makes you think this? If you're burning 1k calories, I would assume you're doing at least an hour of this at high intensity.

Two, your diet seems to be alright, my question for you would...

The formula is simple, a calorie deficit of 3500 will burn one pound of fat.

So if you can create a calorie deficit of 1000 calories per day, you will lose approximately 2 pounds per week.

You...

Look, in theory if you're at a deficit, your body is going to be using some stored energy (fat) to run itself. Now, if you're taking in a good amount of protein, some of that is going to go towards...

I've got some great news for you:

You can continue being a foodie, and still eat healthy! It just takes a little more effort. Let me give you some examples:

1. Italian - Chicken Parmigian and...

Definitely won't make a difference when it comes to fat loss . . .

HOWEVER, it is well known that boxers will go months without "relieving" themselves before a big fight. The theory is that it...

Hey man,

You're 25 years old. If you didn't have gyno growing up, there's a decent chance that you don't have it now. Keep cutting, work those pecks, and see what happens.

You can check my back...

Ok, it's good that you're going to the gym. Just getting yourself there can be half the battle. But if you want to drop the fat, you need to incorporate cardio into your gym routine. My...

Relax buddy, it's water weight. Putting on 6 pounds in a week, be it fat or muscle, you'd have to go over your caloric maintenance by like, 15,000 calories. If you're working out and doing what you...
