New low of 210.4lbs today which puts me at 14lbs down from December 31st. Don't think I've been this light (or un-fat) for over 6 years, which is nice! Looking forward to a massive 48hr refeed and 10 days at maintenance before the next dieting phase.

If you are "properly" injured, eat at or above maintenance to facilitate recovery
-
I feel great when fully in ketosis. Hunger is minimal and I don't get that afternoon "carb crash". But I do love carbs and don't think a fully ketogenic diet is compatible with real life.
-
Why vegan? Why raw?
-
Set protein and fats as absolutes,increase carbs with activity.
-
You stopped losing weight because you are not in a calorie deficit anymore ( because you are lighter, your TDEE has decreased and you probably have some metabolic adaptations due to prolonged dieting). Blood glucose levels are not to blame.
-
I’m not sure how this is a sacrifice. You get to eat more!
-
No carbs for bulking is a terrible idea.
-
If you pay me I’ll pretend to coach you if you need validation *jk
-
As a male at 20% I would eat in a caloric deficit to get leaner before deciding to “recomp”. It’ll be far more effective when you’re a moderate bodyfat
-
From the outset this seems remarkably unhelpful................................... But yes google this.
-
lol ok
-
Cons - The build quality is terrible and they fall apart. I've been through 3 Fitbit Charge HR's in 12 months. Great shame as the idea of an activity tracker is brilliant for adherence, in my opinion
-
This is absurd!! Just because a website says you can maintain on more, do you think that really affects where your true maintenance level is? Pick one, eat the calories, see if you maintain weight. If you do, great. If you lose weight, eat more. If you gain weight, eat less.

What is not real about cream? or cheese?

Black coffee with a shot of sugar free syrup

The ultimate question is: Do you really want to change your body? If you continually make excuses then you obviously don't want it enough. Losing weight or changing your body composition takes effort, time and consistency.
-
1) you are over 22% bodyfat 2) You need consistency and patience Keep up what you’re doing for 12-20 more weeks and report back.

PSMF is a great tool, unfortunately used at the worst time by most as a quick counter measure for over eating.
-
4 weeks in: SW - 224lbs CW - 217.6lbs Fairly severe deficit and using a CKD style protocol. Another 3 weeks before I take a diet break.
-
As someone who has used RFL, UD2.0 and SFP from him with great success, I am inclined to say that he knows what he is doing.
-
Low carb and Crossfit is a terrible idea
-
140lb woman and 200g protein. Lol the guy is clueless
-
If you’re not in a surplus, you aren’t building Muscle. You might be getting leaner and showing definition.
-
It depends how lean you are. If you’re obese it could be 4 weeks, if your extremely lean you may want to make it 12-16 weeks.
-
A few questions and pointers: Why keto? Why 6 months? Will you take any diet breaks? You can’t build muscle without fat! 6 months to lose 12lbs sounds like a long time. Gaining 20lbs of lean muscle mass will take years!
-
Eat what you want, in portions that fit your calorie and/or macronutrient goals.
-
Eat more.
-
You as well as everyone else who lifts. Reality is, you can't!
-
Yep, I’ve run quite a few of them with great success. Helps you drop some water and excess fluff if your bulk has been a bit too “successful”. Highly recommend reading the Revive Stronger article on them and considering 6 weeks as 4 is just a bit too short in my opinion.
