Hi all, FitRican here from New Jersey, USA. I have fasted in the past, but now I have been Intermittent Fasting for a month doing 16:8 and lost 7 pounds already . My question : What are good recommendations to achieve a low fat %? I am currently 18% BF 190 LBS. I eat low carbs 25-75 grams a day, high proteins 175-200…

Poobah1972 , good for you both. If it is working for you enjoy it! Low carb diet with fasting is a healthy way of life. I have been in low carb diet for years. I do IF 2-3 weeks and do HST training. I love KETO diet too, love the roasted pork, filet mignon, shrimp, cheese, butter. I'd rather use fat as energy than sugar.…

For Me! Hypertrophy-Specific Training: (HST) is based on physiological principles of hypertrophy first discovered in the laboratory. These principles were then organized into a "method" of mechanically loading the muscle to induce hypertrophy.

Simple just consume 2-ice as many grams of protein than Carbs+Fat combnied. Work out with heavy weight 3 times a week. Do cardio 1-2 times a week. I am 63 YO, I eat 200 gms of protein a day, 100 grams of fat + less that 50 grams of crabs a day. I am 190 pounds at 15% body fat. I do heavy HST full body workouts 3 times a…

If your goal is to loose weight, I recommend Intermittent Fasting (skip breakfast every day). If you want health then do Keto. And if you want a healthy weight loss do both. Keto will not make you loose weight, a caloric deficit will make you loose weight.

2t9nty, WOW great improvement! I have been consuming egg yolks, grass feed bacon, pork chops, and I made a point to supplement with Omega 3 oil daily.

I found a few good videos on how to increase HDL. Here is one of them. https://youtu.be/FAprJVXq1fE

Thank you all! I always had low (Overall, LDL, HDL) cholesterol levels period. I have been in Keto for 6 weeks now, by coincidence. I started doing Fasting and have started Keto since June. All indications are that I need more animal fat.

Thank you!!

I ran into Keto/Fasting by destiny I guess, watching a video of Jo Elliott. Im on my forth week with fasting and second week of Keto. Is a like miracle. from 35 waist to 32. Have lost a bit of strength, but I take the look. Six pack starting to show nicely. July 7, 2019 - 197# July 14, 2019 - 190# July 21, 2019 - 183 July…

I just started using IF for fat loss. I have lost so far 13 pounds of weight and 2% bodyfat in 10 days. I do one meal a day 16 hours of fast and 8 of feeding period every day. I consume 800 calories/day (150 gm of protein, 10 gm fat 25 gm carbs). I can't believe this really took place. Started at 197# down to 184# have not…

I am at 195 LBS. Currently I eat between 1200-1300 calories / day between Monday thru Thursday and about 2500 Frida-Sunday, Very low fat, about 200 GM protein daily.

I recently started a cycle of the Ultimate Diet 2.0 using Lyle's book as reference. I am 2 weeks into it and what I like is that I am actually enjoining it.

This is my nutrition for today:

Calories Matter: Calories in vs calories out overtime determines your weight loss.

Agree, but no one has dedicated as much time in addition to bring it front and center as a tool for Dieter and health enthusiasts around the globe.

Calories Matter: Calories in vs. calories out overtime determines your weight loss.

I always look for new friends.

I am not under eating that is what the cycle call for. 1400 is my goal but I tried not to go below 1200. Thursday and Friday I consume a huge amount of carbs while keeping Protein and Fats at the same level. Saturday and Sunday is normal Carbs with Low Fat and normal Protein. The only variables are calories and carbs…

Most effective and efficient way to a Nice and Tight butt? Simple: Squats, Dead Lifts and laying down Hamstring Curls.

My goal is 20 LBS. The challenge? I want to lose Fat only. It is not easy but possible. I am using the Ultimate Diet 2.0 program to try to achieve my goal.

My Ultimate Diet 2.0 meal plan for the day. It looks like this.

Do interval training in Stairmaster at level 16!!! Two weeks of humanitarian work in recovery relief in Puerto Rico.

I recommend to get a copy of "The Ketogenic Diet" By. Lyle Mcdonald. He literally wrote the book on this matter the most expert on this matter in cyber space.

bgowder , don't get discourage I am 60 yo and more muscular than the average man. I have worked out all my life. For the most effective and efficient program to gain strength and size I recommend to search for 5*5 workout and do the chest and shoulders routine. https://stronglifts.com/5x5/ Good luck! FitRican

Thank you for stopping by. UD2 is I'll say up front that the UD2 is not an easy diet. You'll have to count/decrease calories and carbohydrates 3-5 days out of every 7. While you don't get to eat everything in sight on the other days, it'll sure seem like it. On some days you can even eat some junk food. The difference to…

I am in the 1900 to 2100 calories a day bracket. I use the containers but also weight the food and calculate the macro nutrients. I am under eating a bit, but I am so happy I am hitting my protein needs to the T, not to mention the low fat consumption. I don't use the 21 day Fix Workout, I use the Ultimate Diet 2 exercise…

My lovely wife and I are on the 3rd day of the 21 Day Fix Extreme. It's so helpful to have a partner at home doing it with you. I can not testify to results yet, I hope to post some soon.

Hi louandizzy, please be aware that weight can have big fluctiations every day due to multiple reasons. I dont worry about weight that much, I have been around 85kg. for as long as I can remember. I let the mirror do the talk, and besides the mirror I only measure % body fat, and maximum weight lifter per move. This week I…

Good for you for taking the first step, rmember this is a long journey and will take time. My advise is to enjoy the small gains/changes. Working out accelerate the weight loss process, but nutrition is the main focus of your journey. Please do not hesitate contacting me for suuport and keep me posted on progress.
