I'm having this issue more frequently than I'd like: When doing long sessions of low intensity steady state cardio (either walking or recumbent bike), I'll feel my blood sugar really nosedive somewhere around 35-45 minutes in. I start to feel shaky and it's like all the strength goes out of my...

Hey, finally hit my goal weight, and I’m going to transition into a cut. I’ve scaled back the calories and I figured out what my current maintenance calories are. My question is if I should stay at maintenance calories for a few weeks to a month, or if I should just jump right into a cut.

Tracking my body composition using the Tanita scale it keeps showing me losing more muscle than fat. I've been doing IF and hitting the gym regularly on a calorie restricted diet. I eat mostly protein and vegetables. Is it possible that the muscle loss is actually just water loss? Any tips...

A year ago I weighed 150lbs at 5'3". I restricted my calories to 1200 per day and within 5 months I lost 30lbs. I currently am trying to lose 10-15 more and it seems impossible.

Going to start dieting, I tested myself to see if I could eat 2000 calories for at least 4 days and I did. I just broke it however to enjoy some holiday feasting with family. We don't celebrate New years really so that's when I'm starting, also seems good to have fresh year to start in. So yeah,...

I recently completed 3 months of a "Bro Split" routine - 4 days a week, one body part a day -- and all of a sudden I've realised that I actually have made some appreciable muscle gains. It's motivating me to carry on. But I've also realised after reading and listening to experienced lifters that...
