Richmond, VA! Lived in VA most of my life

Yes, it was the calorie deficit, but that does not mean IF did not accelerate the fat loss. You can lose 5lbs, but that 5lbs can be configured in 100 different ways, maybe 1lb of it was fat, or 2lbs, or 3lbs, etc. I could give 100 scenarios and breakdown numbers but I will not waste my time. I have done the eat every 2…

As mostly everyone else has said, seeing abs is all about body fat %. Basically, you want your body to use stored fat for energy. There are a number of ways to do this. I would suggest looking into Intermittent Fasting (NO it is not a diet!). You will still eat your normal calorie intake, just in a smaller eating window. I…

IF has been my ticket to sustaining a healthy lifestyle as well as losing my second 20 lbs. I am no longer a "slave" to food. Tried the eat every 2-3 hours, and while i did have some results, this is 10x better. Read up on it and learn as much as you can!

M/F? Male Age? 24 Height? 6'1 Start weight? 198 Goal weight? 155 Time it took? 1 year Aloted daily calories? Started around 2200 for the beginning of the year, eventually worked down to 1,600. Also switched to a very sedentary job and had to cut working out back to 3 days a week. Did your aloted calories change with loss?…

Agreed with the past few posters about eating when you want. I switched to intermittent fasting last year (from eat every 2-3 hours) to lose my 2nd 20 lbs. Yes, that does work for some, and it worked for me for a while but i got tired of feeling like a slave to food and watching the clock all day. I eat between noon and…

I have one cup most mornings with some creamer. My eating window is from noon-7 (intermittent fasting), so it helps keep me full through the morning!

As Schnell117 said, 1lb per week is great! The results will happen and when that day comes you will realize how fast time flys :)

Also note that if you had an extra amount of sodium one day it can cause an increase in water retention. I have a cheat day every weekend and when I eat the extra sodium, I can gain up to an extra 3-5 lbs, but it is from water retention. I didn't actually eat an extra 10,000-16,000 calories. After a couple or few days I am…
