Cutting sucks

[54cheese]

Just thought i would complain to the internet about it.

I just ate spinach, it was awful.

Going to bed hungry, again

Holidays are the worst time for this, so much good food everywhere.

And im not losing weight.

Thanks for listening to my rant

Cutting does suck, I just tough it out for most of the day and get full at night when I down 1000+ calories in one sitting. It's all preference really, I'm typically not hungry after I train, so if I train around 3pm, I can easily hold off until later.

tldr: Find what works for you and figure it out soon.

If cutting was that easy then everyone would be <15% body fat.

You're not gonna lose weight in a day just because you gave up good food for spinach lol.

I ate very little 2 days ago. I went into the city yesterday to do some shopping and I was in agony. I felt out of it and didnt get any shopping done. I drank a litre of milk and I didnt feel any better. I came home and ate a full pizza and now I am better.

Yo, I've been cutting for about a month now and when I either eat more than I usually do or eat junk, I feel like **** afterwards. You'll get used to eating less. Anyways just think long term. I would give almost anything to be at my goal bf %. Feeling hungry all the time is nothing.

Cutting is easy if you have the willpower.

BRB cutting on pizza

[MrZombieSteve]

Just get used to doing IF(intermittent fasting) with either 16-18 hour daily fasts within an 8-6 hour feeding period. Overall bigger/better meals, and an always more satisfied feeling of fullness.

I guess it depends on the person, however six small meals are only superior to three larger ones because it's seemingly easier to count calories and plan meals on imo. Assuming you plan ahead and do it/count it right it makes absolutely no difference in regards to your metabolism or cut. Just stay in deficit, get your fat and protein needs and you're golden.

Six small meals throughout the day never seem to satisfy me. It's much easier for me to plan meals that satiate when I'm allowed to plan over 300-400 calories.

Well I'm eating chicken breast and oatmeal while my dad is next to me eating pizza and I'm feeling pretty proud of being able to resist

[Hummina]

you just need to learn how to work the system.

If I added up all the months of my life I've spent cutting, I would wager it's in the 40s. I've become so used to it that I just look forward to the times I do get to eat, make the most of it, and try my best to ignore the hunger. Focus on the positives, because if you're always thinking "this sucks", you're just going to enhance the difficulty.

Brb been cutting for last 4 months, going to bed absolutely stuffed!

IF is the way to go

[intenseza]

It sucks big time in the beginning, but after awhile your body becomes accustomed to the feeling. (At least that's what I've found in the past.)
When you feel like pigging out, just remember those abs you'll have if you stay on track!

[wallmandummy]

i do if when i cut im ok being being hungry all day but i cant go to bed hungry!

[birdlegs]

Anytime I eat too much, I just jump on the treadmill that night and do extra cardio. Not sure how much it helps, but I feel better about it.

[Seigard94]

Well we all got aims and we all need to sacrifice stuff for them, they indeed sucks and they suck big time
especially its harder to cut with friends around, social life with drinks and stuff, mostly the advertisements of damn bastards eating snack bars get me

[PaulRivers]

I've found that some foods are definitely better for cutting than others.

Not saying this is for everyone, but I could cut while eating a hamburger or chicken sandwhich, even smaller portions of them, and end up hungry but not starving. Cutting eating the same calories with pizza - going to bed hungry and starving.

It's all about the raspberries (for me anyhow). Less than 250 cals in 1 lb of raspberries. Taste good fresh or frozen, and lots of fiber to boot. They also blend well.

Downside: Expensive, but I consider them an investment towards my sanity.

"Nothing works unless you do"

[gregorymcm]

think of the end results my friend. How proud you will be of yourself when you get those ripped abs and all your friends are jelly of your progress.

Stick to it and you won't regret it.

cutting does suck... and can, even on IF. Yesterday I didn't start eating till 2:00PM and was still hungry at 10. Not sure how, didn't seem like I ate 2300 cal, but I did. Your body gets used to IF too, at least mine does. I find it easier to cycle calories than cut straight up. Maybe try PSMFing one or two days a week? That's what I do, it's helped considerably by making the other 6 days have an extra 200-300 cal available.
