Why aren't you tracking your food intake on MyFitnessPal with a food scale?

You just have to keep at it and it will eventually go. I'm 5'11 and have been lifting for years, and when I was at 155 I still had a belly and love handles. You need to get under 10% BF to show abs.

Maybe have "fun" one day a week and stay disciplined the rest of the time?

I'd be interested to hear people's opinion on this. My understanding is that true muscle growth requires being in a caloric surplus...

Thanks. Fortunately I am very good at managing hunger. My tricks are chewing gum (Trident layers seems best) and swabbing my mouth with toothpaste. When I eat, I usually drink a lot of liquid with it...

Hi all,
I lost 9 pounds in three weeks, but this week I've been stuck for the past three days with little or no weight loss. Is it possible to plateau so quickly?

I'm 5'11 33 years old, started...

Lifting while cutting is about MAINTAINING muscle mass. Since you haven't been lifting, you don't have much to maintain. Accordingly, you can do bodyweight exercises - pushups, pullups (get an iron...

Suggest chewing sugarless gum. I find Trident Layers suppresses my appetite for about an hour. Also, sometimes I just swish a bit of toothpaste; kills appetite for ~40+ min.

Tell those "professionals" to get lost. They don't understand the approach of weighing your food, counting calories in/out, and don't think people are capable of doing it. For the past few years I've...

I have a big sweet tooth as well but use it to my advantage. To kill my appetite I find that a little toothpaste (spit it out) or chewing gum (Trident Layers is my fav, flavor lasts an hour) or tea...

Eating clean helps, but you will definitely succeed if you strictly count your calories on myfitnesspal - both incoming food and outgoing exercise, and eat a caloric deficit. I weigh all my foods and...

Thanks. My rationale for bulking would be to take advantage of the caloric surplus I'll be in to restore my strength and maybe build more muscle so I'm in a better position when I resume cutting...

Greetings,
If you were in my situation, would you cut or bulk? I'm torn. This week I returned a 21 day honeymoon where I did pigged out and did some cardio but no strength training. I think I gained...

Cool. back to 2K calories then

Duh. The question is about how sharply to transition to avoid messing up metabolism or other side effects.

Greetings,
What's the best way to transition from eating a lot of garbage (4K+ calories/day) to a solid cutting phase? The past few weeks I've done virtually no cardio (recovering from tendinitis in...

Hi all,
This week my LCL has been tender/painful. I am chalking it up to overuse. In addition to my 4x/week 40 minute weight-lifting routine (3 sets for each major muscle group 2X/week), I've been...

Sadly I'm not very handy; I need a quick fix.

Starting to see some cracks/damage on my door frame from my Iron Gym pullup bar. I'm about 165#s and I usually do ~30 pullups a day. I've uploaded pics. Any advice for how to reinforce the frame? I'm...
