Oh, you sweet summer child.

I don't know if overeating can technically be classified as an addiction, but viewing it through the paradigm of addiction is certainly helpful in understanding and managing the behaviors that make us fat - it sure as hell feels like an addiction to me, anyway! In my experience, it doesn't change much once you reach…

Came here to say this. Heavy squats and deads will strengthen your core - and your legs and your butt and your back.

Not to throw the thread off topic, but for athletes that should be .82g of protein per pound of body weight - not per kilogram - to maximize MPS (Phillips & VanLoon, 2011.) (And yes, get plenty of sleep and don't worry too much about timing.)

Awww, I care about your carb pain, hun! <3

I've been bulking for a few months and have found that the more carbs I eat, the less injuries and pain I get. Of course, everyone is different. I know it's the exact opposite for some people (@arditarose where you at?)

OHGODOHJESUS! How do I stop getting notifications from this thread?

Three pages in and I'm still waiting for OP to explain WTF is a "bio-hacking diet..."

Women should work out like men. Which is why male (and female) bodybuilders have been training muscles in isolation for decades - definitely waaaay longer than 15 years. If you want bigger glutes, you gotta train your glutes. If you want weak quads, then you don't train those. Simple!

What are you basing that on, exactly? I'm a big guy (6'4", large frame), I lift, and at my current 220 lbs / 13-14% BF I could definitely afford to lose a couple of pounds of fat...

New Hampshee here!

What... What did I just read??

Yeah, you already told us what happens when you don't eat your fats. I'ma buy you so much bacon... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I'm like 90% carbs right now, though. I'd probably give you dem sugar pains. :-\

Stop it. Come eat Nutella with me and be merry!

Pfft! I logged 476g of carbs today, I don't need support! :D

@arditarose Stop harassing the forum members, sweetheart! ಠ_ಠ

See? Powerlifters don't need to do any of this silly 0 carb stuff. How do you even lift all glycogen depleted-like?

Powerlifters get to eat more donuts. So there's that.

By all means eat back your exercise calories! Like others have already said, MFP gives you a Calorie goal that already has a built-in deficit, so burning extra Calories by exercising and not eating those Calories back would put you at too great a deficit, which has a bunch of potentially detrimental side-effects relating…

It seems to me that you're the one looking for a one-dimensional answer... There's no such thing as a healthy food, only a healthy diet.

I'm not sure what you want... Are you asking what we think you should do based on the photo? Or is there a specific goal you want to reach that you need help with? Or are you asking for psychological help with body dysmorphia-type issues?

I snort cayenne pepper for maximum effectiveness.

What do you mean by "bariatric friendly"?

Wow. That was painful to read. It's like an army of Don Quijotes fighting imaginary monsters and strawmen and red herrings that anyone with a basic understanding of how CICO actually works can see right through. Honestly - painful.

I think they're in league with the devil.

I've found eating more protein helps.

Real talk. I love you, Jo! :*

There's no magic combo, recomps are just slow. You're better off bulking and cutting, making sure you're getting your protein in at all times.

This one is from a couple of months ago. Not my favorite lift, or a PR or anything, but definitely my favorite video: https://www.instagram.com/p/BEyTF2avGKz/
