    It's hard to listen to someone who puts so little effort into what he is saying.

    I was just about to say, how can he possibly misspell "waste" again right after I just corrected him?

    @AJ_G I learned last time not to waist my time with you

    waste*. Also, when someone decides not to respond to a discussion or argument, 99% of the time it's because their argument is either flawed, weak, or nonexistent, or some combination of the three. Also, you lost weight too fast, 40lbs in 16 weeks is not optimal for muscle preservation, or metabolic capacity, especially if you're 150lbs. Just for future reference.

    There's no cookie cutter plan for anyone and everyone has different ways of getting where they want to be. You on the other hand tend to think of yourself as the be all end all of nutrition and lifting and come off pretty arogant so I'd rather not waist anymore time and risk getting banned for expressing my dislike in a non respectfull maner and spend more time listening to ppl like sixxpoint over here who has a better maners.

    There is no end all be all in the nutrition world, that is no secret, but there is optimal and sub optimal strategies. Someone can get lean in a sub optimal way and lose more muscle and more metabolic capacity than they would have if they had cut in the optimal way. In the realm of nutrition and fitness, there is good, better, and best. Make no mistake, good is better than nothing, but why not go for best? That's all I'm saying. I'm sorry if I come off as arrogant, but I really only fight fire with fire. I may be snide or arrogant to someone that has already displayed that behavior in a thread, it's hard to help it. I will never purposely be arrogant or snide to someone who is honestly ignorant of something and seeking help though. There's is nothing wrong with being ignorant and seeking the facts, but when someone is ignorant but thinks they are an expert, that's when I take exception.

    Not sure exactly what you mean...

    "cutting" simply means eating less calories than you burn. "bulking" is the opposite (eating more than you burn).

    Both are irrespective of your lifts/exercise regimen; although it's highly recommended to incorporate exercise and lifting for maximum fitness.

    I've seen articles talking about lift heavy with low reps for bulking and moderate with high reps to cut. But I would like to get an answer from a real person that is more likely to give me real answers, in case I was reading from a bad source.

    we would need to know what your goals are in order to give you the proper answer.

    However, I am always an advocate of a structured lifting regimen like strong lifts, all pro beginner, etc, etc..

    My goal is to lose fat while preserving muscle.

    I'm currently 217lbs and 49% bf (yeah, I know. It's bad). Height is 5 foot 3.5 inches.

    I would suggest that you keep cutting and get on a structured lifting program like strong lifts, all pro beginner routine, etc.

    Once you get your body fat down to the 18-22% range you can look at running a bulk, or do a recomp.

    Make sure that you get a food scale and weigh all solid foods.
