What are your thoughts on KETO?
He thinks that ultimately only calories matter. He does recommend a minimum fat and protein intake per day based on your weight. Carb grams can fill your extra calories if you have room for them.0 -

While I'm not OP, that seems like a grossly oversimplified statement of his position.0 -

Why am I not qualified? Because of what I look like in my avatar?0 -

Oh wait......I am sure.
It seems to me as a very good summary of what vismal has said over and over again on this thread. Great job Mr. Great Depression0 -

If your washing machine breaks can you just do your laundry on your abs?0

While you are correct in that you do not build lean mass while losing fat, you can however preserve it. Also I could have spent those early days building more strength and perfecting form.
While I don't want to debate your expertise or experience, I don't think the above statement is completely accurate. It would be better to say that building muscle while losing fat is very difficult, but it is not impossible. The phrasing "very difficult" might even understate just how difficult it is, but it can be done.

This is just one article on the subject, there are many, with many different points of view and experience.
I myself have done it to an extent. What you say above is mostly true, in that for the most part I have maintained lean mass rather than adding it. Maintaining your LBM and dropping fat is certainly easier. But I have sometimes made progress in both, provided I stay disciplined, eat right and do everything I should.
And of course congrats on your transformation! I'm pleased to see that you did it with lifting and a compound routine, which is for the most part what I'm doing. I started with lifting however, haven't done much cardio, and continue to make progress. I think you're right that you would've been better overall if you had started with lifting, its good advice. I hope others are paying attention to your experience it sounds like you really figured it out!0 -

Hello Vismal! Congratulations once more on your transformation !
I have a question . I added hit Kickboxing to my routine couple of months ago. It is pretty intense . I am doing it to get healthier (i am 47 yo female at 130 lb). For last three years i walk between 10 and 16 miles 7 days a week. Plus some hiking , jogging , push ups, etc. I do Kickboxing 2-4 times a week
My question is do i have to take rest days like some people suggest ? If i go 2 or 3 days in a row, does it make a good impact ?
Thank you I'm advance for your time and willingness to help!0 -

Even for people who do pull off a successful recomp, their net results will still likely be inferior to someone who did a bulk cut cycle.3 -
You said in one of your videos that intermittent fasting was something you found helpful. How much caloric deficiency was there in those 'fasting' days and how often did you do it?0
