edited February 2019 in Goal: Gaining Weight and Body Building
I am cutting and have stubborn fat around my oblique area? Recommendations for targeting that area? I’m currently doing intermittent fasting; with my workouts right at the end of my 16 hour fast. I’m below my daily and weekly calories goal so am consistently losing .2 pounds a day. Anything else I can do??

    You can't spot reduce.

    Losing that much is way too fast to retain muscle.

    It's hard to see the decimal point before the 2..at first glance I thought it said 2 Lbs per day as well.

    I agree that you can't target fat loss.

    You are just gonna have to keep cutting until you are comfortable. (Which may never happen)

    If you’re fasting, you want to weight train in your feeding window. Fasted cardio is okay, also make sure your protein intake is high, at least 1.2 grams per 1 pound of body weight. Just be in a slight caloric deficit, 1-2 pounds a week is very good, anything more you’re sacrifing muscle mass and have to up calories.
