Well, if I just started at let's say 3,000 wouldn't I put on a lot more fat than if I sort of elevate my calories little by little?

I swear I gain like 85 lbs. if I eat a slice of pizza, so I think I might have to experiment. I'm probably going to start off at 2,400 cal. and increase it until I get where I want. I just don't want...

I suppose this is more of a fat prevention question instead of a fat loss question. However, I lost over 50 lbs. and now I'm really hesitant to bump my calories up too high to build muscle. I'm...

I was just messing around. All of that stuff is pretty common on here. I try as hard as I can to get most of my nutrients through my diet, but I realize it's impossible, so I use a multi-vitamin and...

Dude... do you own a pharmacy?

It isn't really my personal belief that it impedes fat loss. I lost weight just fine while drinking Diet Pepsi, but I think it might be causing some bloating and water retention. That's why I'm...

Most diet soda has citric acid as well, which I also heard can cause insulin spikes in certain people. I'm going to try and stick to water I think, hopefully I'll see a difference. I'll post if I...

I think Louis Dorman has some great tips and goes into a lot more detail about the psychology of cutting.

I'll post a couple of my faves in a bit, but I thought it would be cool if people could link the articles that have helped them the most.

Well, it's more the water rentention that I'm concerned about. I already see the outline of my abs, so I can't be that far off. I think drinking more water will help, but I don't want the diet soda...

I've had Diet Pepsi through most of my cutting period and I did lose weight, however I've been having problems with the last few pounds(5-6). One of my friends said that some of that could just be...

I can see where he's coming from. I don't like ectos or endos that think they're the sh!t. When I go to the gym, I'm there to improve, not to impress a bunch of f@gs that I don't even know. To be...

To be honest, it seems like you're answering your own questions. If you're in ketosis for such a long period of time, of course you're going to lose muscle. The keto guys at least give themselves...

Oh man, deep topic. I'm going through similar stuff. I keep hearing how much better I look now that I've dropped 50 lbs., but when I look in the mirror, I swear I can't tell the difference. I'm...

Well, that would mean that 749 calories came from fat and 300 calories came from protein. I would assume that means the other 600 cal. came from carbs. Assuming all of that is correct, your calorie...

Well, as long as the enchiladas weren't poisoned, you'll still have the rest of your life to make progress. While I wouldn't make it a habit, I wouldn't sweat it too bad.

I was having some motivation problems about 2 weeks ago because I'm at the end of what I need to lose. I'm soooo close, but it also feels a million miles away for some reason. However, I ran into a...

I just lost quite a bit of weight and I'm trying to gear up for a bulking phase. I'm about 6'1" and I weigh about 176 lbs. I want to get to about 190 lbs. without putting on much fat. I was thinking...

I get that same reaction from a few people, and then other people tell me how much better I look. The ones that tell me I lost too much weight are usually out of shape. You need to look in the mirror...

wheew, glad you wrote all that so I don't have to. Good post.
