Dont waste your money.

Id recommended taking progress pictures specifically from a side view. Ive been losing weight for awhile and my bottom abs just arent coming. Then i notice how much stomach fat ive lost looking from the side and i realized it wont be long until i start to see my lower abs.

It doesnt matter as long as you fit it into your calories.

Same and seeing good progress esp for being in a calorie deficit.

Well first off theres no such thing as cleansing tea. I drink tea and lemon water but only because i like the taste of both. Lemon water is nothing special besides having a little more flavor. Tea has caffeine which i believe can help suppress appetite but thats about all the magic that it has.

Higher then 20% its hard to tell forsure but i think 20% is a little low. By June 1st being realistic, you wont see insane changes. That being said start now, stay dedicated and you will notice some differences. Im not trying to be a jerk, just dont want you to set unreal expectations and get disappointed. Weigh all your…

Dont waste your money on bcaas they dont do anything. Your body get plenty just from protien. Protien powder i use cytosport 100% whey vanilla. Its pretty cheap and tastes good. I also take creatine monohydrate which is one of the few suppliments that is show to actually have benfits. Its really cheap too.

Eat a small calorie deficit, get enough protien, start a good lifting program and be patient.

The 1.5 pounds is your weekly weight loss goal.

There are no right foods, all thats needed is a calorie deficit. You said it yourself you know you cant spot reduce. The only way to get rid of the stomach fat is to keep losing until it comes off on its own. If you enjoy the class or program go for it. But if youre doing it only in the hopes to get rid of stomach fat dont…

Just want tho throw this out there... Keto is nothing special, deficit is all that matters. If low carb helps you keep a calorie deficit, great do low carb. But just know there is nothing wrong with carbs.

This^ Whatever is best for you.

Firstly fat intake doesnt cause you to gain fat, calorie surplus does. Your macros could pretty all come from fats and if youre in a deficit you womt put on fat. Secondly no where do you mention you weigh your food. So my guess is youre eating more calories then you think.

This post will be shut down soon but, For awhile i was eating around 1000 calories, and i was losing but i also lost a ton of muscle. Its one of my biggest regrets in my weight loss journey. Once i stopped that, i got on here and started eating appropiate calories (at least 1500 for men). Dont rush things the muscle youll…

I have never seen any study to support yhe above. Eating 1 gram per pound of body weight is fine. Unnecessary, probably, but not a max.

Ive been using cytosport 100% whey vanilla. I mix it with a cup of greek yogurt (310 calories for over 50 grams of protien). Yeah food might be better then a protien suppliment but i think in a calorie deficit protien powder can make things easier. Also im lazy ;)

Are you weighing all your food? How long has it been (sometimes weight loss stalls for a few weeks) Are you eating back exercise calories?

Get on an established program. Free weights>machines. Id recommend strong lifts 5x5

For weight loss no, it doesnt matter... For feeling full, muscle retention and yout health yes eating nutritional food is more beneficial. Feel free to include any food in your diet as long as you fit it into your calories.

Keep the protien, keep lifting, this will help you retain muscle. You probably wont add juch muscle in a calorie deficit though. If youre currently making your own program you should get on an established program. I believe strong curves has an emphasis on the glutes but im not sure ive never looked at the program. Strong…

How about just eat what ever you want and track your calories? Its simpler and more effective....

1. Make sure youre accurately (dont leave anything out) and logging using a food scale. 2. You might want to look at your weekly trend, how big is your calorie deficit for the week, is your deficit amount for the week equal to what you think you should be losing. 3. Water weight can fluctuation up to 5 pounds in a day or…

Macros arent that important in terms of weight loss. Protien is important for building and maintaining muscle. If you just make sure protien is good fats and carbs should fall into place. Typically people suggest low carb high fat because fats and protien usually keep you full for longer. You didnt give your stats but…

Just eat a balanced high protien diet (personally id recommend 1 gram per pound of lean body weight, but you can get by with less), carb cycling wont do anything magical for you. Fat loss and muscle building are kind of conflicting goals. Deficit gor fat loss surplus for muscle building. Typically you dont want to bulk…

Maybe... retaining muscle comes from not making your calorie deficit too large, weight lifting, and getting sufficent protien. I think this method is good in the sense you eat more on lifting days, so you might have more energy to lift. You might want to just do a recomp and eat at or just below maintenence calories while…

Get on a good lifting program! Maintianing muscle while losing weight will most likely make you more happy with your end aesthetic look. Stronglifts 5x5 is a fantastic one.

I noticed you had another post about this. Enjoy a sugary treat once and having a bowl of icecream once a week or a candy bar or whatever will not ruin progress, esp if youre staying within your claorie goals. I was super strict no sugar, very low carb, for a few months, then stopped because my food choices were so boring.…

Get on a compound lifting program dont make your own up. I second the stronglifts 5x5 suggestion. Honestly any rep range between 5-15 is fine, whats more important is your on a progressive overload lifting program, one with compound lifts is best (again see stronglifts suggestion). Also if you are going to try to lose fat…

Get on an established program. Stronglifts 5x5 is a good one.
