Forum: Losing Fat

Hi guys! New guy here. I started working out August 2020 and when a good friend found out, he gave me a fantastic upper/lower 4 day split with one day of intense cardio. This completely changed my life. I'm extremely happy with the results I've been seeing. I have confidence to now...

Let me start by saying I am not seeking any advice or opinions on fasting as a whole. I have done extensive research and know everything I need to know on that front. Now, there is one thing that I'm having trouble finding an answer for and I'm hoping maybe someone here is knowledgeable....

Last year I was around 5'-9" and weighed close to 230 lbs. The easiest thing I did was called intermate fasting. What you do is you stop eating right after dinner loses the night snacks, so say your done dinner at 6 pm. Then you wouldn't eat until 10-11 o'clock the next morning. This allows around...

I live in coastal Mediterranean city and I'm obese. Few months back I turned 26 and I been trying to loose weight, but somehow failing that. Most of my life, since 7 years old, I was taking medicament to monitor my illness, and many of them (I changed just a few types of drugs) have side effect of...

Hi to all Thank you for accepting me in this forum. First of all, excuse any flaws in writing, english is not my mother tongue. I need some help/advice. I am 41 years old, 180 cm, 76 kg. I workout 3-4 times per week. I use my protein impact Whey, and I am moderately watching my diet. It means,...

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 lower than 1200 is extremely hard. I also work a sedentary job and dont go to the gym but i walk about 6000 steps...

Hello all. I am seeking advice on the best course of action in quickly losing weight. I am in my mid 30s, 6"2' and weigh about 510lbs. I have always been big but it really got away from me sitting at home all year this year. It is like I've been on autopilot and just realized what happened to me. ...

Hi all! Never posted before so I'll keep it short. I gained 50 plus pounds after spinal surgery 5 years ago and have become a complete mess. I returned to work too early after surgery and I'm a police/fire dispatcher so I'm stuck in a chair 12 hours... definitely did not help my healing process....

Hello! is it fine to lose 2 lbs per week as a beginner to lifting? I am completely new to lifting and I am 5'10 and 191 lbs (bad I know). Considering I havent been working out prior I am gonna assume that my body fat level is currently between 25-30%. I have read a lot online saying that 1-2 lbs...

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,...

Overall I’m in good shape...was thinking of going on a water cleanse to see what happens around my stomach area...

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...

What are ways to make you feel less hungrly? Is it possible to go on a calorie deficit diet (500c deficit) and feel full everyday. Maybe I'm just weak minded. Current weight: 145kg, 5'10

hello, I think my bodyfat is between 20-23% and I want to get to 9% before starting bulk. I am too lazy to lift. especially because my goal is to cut and it feels pointless to lift just for losing fat can I get lean with just good diet? I will take some walks in the forest or mountains, but I...

Hey guys, I am currently 258lbs 6’1 probably about 23-25% BF. I have competed in strongman and am pretty strong.
