Is steonglifts good for beginners and too lean out?
I'm new to lifting and I wanted to try strong lifts. My goal is to look and feel strong. I was really obese before and brought my weight down and I look skinny fat now. I'm not entirely satisfied with myself and exercising just feels great now. I planned on bulking + doing SL then cutting. Would it work?

Putting on muscle.

Currently I am seeing a specialist for my stomach but until we find what works for me, I'm somewhat stuck here at the place I'm at now.

Can't eat, avoiding relapse!
Hi. I recently got on some new medicine for my narcolepsy and they've ruined my appetite. I've gone from 123 to 107 in like a month and a half. I'm scared. I had an anorexia, I have body dysmorphia. This sudden weight loss makes me want to start doing it on purpose. I have fought so hard for my recovery from that nightmare…

Bulking question
I've been cutting seriously for about 4 or 5 months (note that i never bulked before). I wanted to lose the excess fat first then start a lean bulk later on. I have little to no biceps, and I want to gain muscle. My question is how much do you have to weigh to start a successful bulk? I'm a 5'5 female.

Is calorie partitioning real or a myth?
I've been cutting pretty much for 14 months now (with an odd diet break here and there) and have lost 60+lbs. I'm 5ft 10 and 166lbs. I'd guess my bodyfat is around 12%-15%. I have read that in order to maximise the proportion of muscle gained in a bulk it is recommended to get <10% bodyfat. Do you think starting BF% does…

If you feel hungry in the morning can you still be eating a surplus?
Hello, I am trying to bulk lately and put on a few lbs. I eat 2500-2600 a day. I am trying to do a slow bulk (I maintain 2200-2600). I figured if I hit 2500-2600 a day ever day I will slowly gain as throughout the week I usually have a few lower days around 2200. However, I wake up starving sometimes. I am afraid this…

Gluten free
I was diagnosed with celiac disease and have to make sure I'm eating gluten free. It seems difficult to gain weight on this diet. I'm only up to 115.6 now, which is far from my goal. I'm eating 2,300 calories a day. What should I do/try? These pounds just aren't packing on. :/
