edited March 1 in Goal: Maintaining Weight
Hi,

I just got back from holidays with my friends and have been eating a lot of junk food. I would like to drop my body fat.

I usually do 4 sessions of weigth lifting per week and 2 sessions of cardio.

Which advises can you give me to loose body fat: more cardio? Stop eating fat? Reduce my calorie intake?

Thanks

    In the words of Arnold Schwarzenegger and other great body builders try a low carb/Keto, which is what lot of body builders do to drop the fat quickly. I got my BF% from 34.5% to around 16% in six months.

    This is true.
    Requires just as much work....

    Which OP doesn't seem serious about doing.....
    But hey, I could be totally wrong.

    If you don't care to eat less calories, then obviously you don't care to lose body fat. Less calories+exercise= fat loss!! That's the only way to go. You can't eat 5,000 calories a day and work out for 3 hours only to burn 1,000. You won't lose the fat. Sorry, pal!

    Ah, come on jamal - you asked all these questions when you started your bulk. Gain weight: surplus calories, lose weight: calorie deficit!!

    (Recomp: body recomposition - eat at or slightly above maintainence (while hitting the weights))

    Are you finished with your bulk? If yes, then cut or recomp. If not, though, you need to just ride it out and continue with your bulk.

    And by "professional help" I am not referring to dietary help, but mental help. You truly need and deserve it.

    As the page title on your profile says, no pain, no gain.

    You can maintain a caloric deficit without going around hungry all the time if you eat a lot of vegetables.

    There is a way to lose bodyfat without a calorie deficit. You should speak to your doc about it to see if you're a candidate. It's called liposuction.
