He probably doesn't have much fat on him at 6'5 155lbs, i'm guessing he's under 10%bf. If he gained some fat it wouldn't be the end of the world. 10 weeks is not a lot but if you train heavy and with the newbie gains you could build some muscle mass.

We can't just look at sugar intake, because you can eat 200g of sugar a day and still be lean, that's entirely possible. The guy gained all that weight because he ate more calories. If he had decided to replace some calories with sugar while still eating the same number of calories he wouldn't have gained all that weight.

I weigh myself everyday cause I don't count calories, I use the scale, the mirror and body measurements to track my progress. It works well.

I posted this in april, i've been caffeine free for all those months and I still don't see any noticeable benefits. I think I'm going to add caffeine back, everything in moderation right?

Nope this is a myth, assuming you continue to train hard and eat right you can keep most of your gains. Scientific studies have showed this, there's a muscle memory effect after taking steroids, the same process that applies to weightlifting. It has been shown that athlete remain at an advantage years after stopping…

Larry Wheels is strong as hell and he's lean. Question is, would he be even stronger if he gained some fat?

Other than body composition, I heard that eating breakfast is good for blood sugar control, or something along those lines. I just know that I feel better when I have a good breakfast, i'm in a better mood, i'm more productive.

Yeah that's a better way to put it. I see really big dudes in the gym who aren't so strong.

I never did powerlifting, I always did 6-12 reps for 3-4 sets. I don't really think strength is correlated with size, I was once a pretty strong dude and there were guys much bigger than me at the gym who lifted lighter weights. I just started lifted again and i'm questionning if it's worth it to lift really heavy.

Food waste is a big problem, I try my hardest not to throw away food. I rarely do it, maybe once a month at most.

I've seen the stats in my country (Canada) on obesity rates among different socio-economic groups, the difference is not that great. Lower income people are more likely to suffer from obesity, but the difference is minimal, like 1-2%. I suspect it's similar in the US. I mean just look around you, there are plenty of smart…

I don't think I would've torn a bicep tendon and suffer other injuries if I got more rest and trained less frequently. I pretty much lifted heavy weights for years never taking a day off while having a physical job and low body fat on top of that. In my case "overtraining" led to injuries, that's bad enough.

I'm on the same boat as you, I just got done cutting and started lifting weights very recently. The last thing I want is to put on fat. Try a minimal calorie surplus like mentionned above, and weigh yourself frequently in the morning. You don't want to gain weight too quickly.

What is the key difference between the two? Are we talking about the number of reps? Time under tension? Because on several occasions my performance has increased while on a cut, and I wasn't a newbie. Maybe it has to do with the nervous system idk.

If we're talking about dry weight potatoes are 80-90% carbs. And that's assuming you eat the skin, most people don't

Also one of the food with the highest glycemic index and carb content, might want to say that to the low carbers. And i'm not a good exemple I used to eat 700g of steamed potatoes with chicken.

I think yes : “In the original satiety index study, boiled or baked potatoes had the highest score of 323.” “They found potato-based meals were effective at reducing appetite, relative to the other side dishes.”

In a study they found that boiled potatoes were the most satiating food. I don't think it's the first that comes to mind when talking about satiating foods. Potatoes are almost all carbs. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/324078

I started working out again shortly after the lockdown, I started at home and recently I joined a gym. I gained 4lbs of lean mass in 2-3 months. I hadn't trained in almost 6 years.

I had problematic insomnia when I used to work a job I really hated. When I quit that job and I began to sleep better. It's because I was stressed for the next day.

87 years old, that's good for a male.

Isn't satiety subjective? I was satiated eating very high carbs, and also recently with my junk food diet. It seems when i'm at a very low body weight I get less hungry.

At 50g you can still eat carbs but I notice that most people on Keto will eat vegetables only.

It's more that i've been doing nothing but arms and lower body training since I have chronic shoulder problems. But I notice that my arms are swollen constantly, I think I have no other choice but to train the rest of my upper body.

I think many people have a psychological fear of sugar. It changed my perspective when I did the calories in calories out experiment. I got lean eating 70% junk food.

How many people are on Keto for years and don't you miss eating carbs?

I'd say 80% of the time I use dumbells or I do cable movements one arm at a time. There's a lot of barbell exercises i'm unable to do cause my right arm is too weak. Yeah I get the same sensation and I don't even train that heavy. It may be because I use my right arm a lot more in everyday life, i'm trying to change that…

Assuming i'm eating 3500 calories a day because of high TDEE (that used to be me) what would be the negative effects of me drinking 500 calories of pepsi if the rest of my diet consists of nutrient dense foods? Asking all the anti-sugar folks.
