Basic answer. For 1lb a week weight loss you need to be deficit 3500 calories per week, this breaks down to a 500 calorie deficit per day. Now you can be over on day and under another day providing you meet the required deficit in this case 3500 at the end of the week you will lose 1lb of fat. This will allow you your…

To keep your muscles lift weights to keep them stimulated and eat required amount protein. Your muscles will not grow as you are on a calorie deficit but you will not loose the mass you have due to the stimulus and protein. You will need to adjust your calories to accommodation the required protein.

Starvation mode is a state in which the body is responding to prolonged periods of low energy intake levels. During short periods of energy abstinence, the human body will burn primarily free fatty acids from body fat stores. After prolonged periods of starvation the body has depleted its body fat and begins to burn lean…

Starvation is the bodies retraction to limited nutrients. Starving peoples bodies will eat up fat and muscle then begin on any other tissue mass available. Starvation also included dehydration due to lack of fluids which causes body spaces to fill with air, hence large pushed out stomachs in starving people. This is…

The more weight you loose the faster your metabolism runs which burns more fat. You should adjust your calorie intake after some weight loss see where your numbers sit. If you do not eat enough calories the body will go into starvation mode and hold on to fat no weight loss. Eat more the body will begin metabolizing again…

Your weight will drop if you go in to calorie deficit, your need to check your food intake and record as well as your exercise calories burned. Your doing a lot of cardio, might want to change up to burn more fat by doing HIIT - (bag work is hit as its explosive) add this type to your Stair Master and Elliptical sessions -…

No you are only causing tension in your muscles, to much of this will cause lactic acid build up and you will get sore. Belly fat is reduced like all fat (fat comes off where the body wants it to, you can not spot reduce) by controlling your diet and calories.

Your abs will show once the fat hiding them is burned off, that's it its down to diet. Lose the layer of fat hiding them to reveal.

Fat loss is done in the kitchen. Check your calorie intake, reduce 500 per day and you will lose 1lb per week. Gym work will recomp your body while your diet and give your metabolism a boost.

You have DOM's "Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness" You can give the muscles a rest, nice hot bath or Jacuzzi if you have access and drink some extra water as muscles need the H2O to rebuild. If you need to get some gym time, elliptical trainer would be a good choice, not impact on the joints and only slight on the lower legs…

Give it time, if you are keeping to your deficit the pounds will come off. Takes a week to loose 1lb, you stated its been 5 days. But congrats on the loss so far just stick with it.

Get yourself on another set of scales and see if there is a difference, keep the scales that are closer.

Go for 1lb a week drop and you should feel much better. Weight loss is a marathon not a sprint, there are no quick fixes out there as advertised to get you to part with money. Diet and exercise. Diet - reduce calories by 500 per week and you will loose 1lb. Exercises to increase your metabolic rate, make your heart and…

Water retention. Muscles use water to repair damage caused by exercise. Do not weigh your self on rest day after exercise and or if you have DOM's as you will see weight go up due to water retention. Water retention can see a increase on 2-5lbs on the scale, best to just weigh yourself once per week but better checking how…

Split your Cardio and your weight lifting days. Cardio before weight lifting is counter productive as you deplete the Glycogen stores in your muscles. However you need to provide more information as to your goals when on the gym etc...

Read the PDF from StrongLifts and down load the spreadsheet to track your progress. Start with and empty Olympic bar (20Kg) and work up from there on all your lifts or use the (15Kg bar - it has black plastic ends).
-
Unless you are a powerlifter and a competitive bodybuilder you do not need Creatine. Waste of money for your level as it will only give a very slight boost to your lifting potential, maybe one extra rep due to the water retention the muscles will have. You will end up with more water retention in the muscles which will…

Compound lifts will target abbs nicley. Squats, Deadlifts, Good Mornings etc - you could also throw in some planks and hanging leg raises. Hanging leg raise I mean you hang from a bar and lift your legs and feet up to touch the bar which engages the abbs - NOT the captains chair moves I see people do in the gym where the…

All metabolic processes are called either "anabolic" or "catabolic". Anabolic processes build complex molecules out of simpler ones, while catabolic processes tear complex molecules down into simpler ones. Building muscle is anabolic process -- it (in part) builds muscle proteins out of amino acids in the bloodstream. But…

Diet is about calories and if you are in excess in any thing you eat you will gain weight. If you need the protein you will have to balance it with the other foods you eat (reduce something to take account of the protein calories). That's it nothing difficult just basic maths.
