Exactly why you need to use Keto if you are trying to retain muscle. Weight loss is slower, but you definately keep your muscle loss to a minimum.

Actually you can have noob gains if you never lifted seriously before.

Nothing beats waking up hungover with a jimmy johns sub with 2 bites in it. Money down the drain but 500+ calories saved :)
-
Yeah, ever since starting on this there is a definate decrease of libido. Carb up days though really spike it up.
-
I have to disagree. First thing first is the cardinal rule of 0.8-1 gm of protein per LBM. If you aren't doing that you are gonna suffer a big loss in LBM when cutting, which defeats the whole point of working out if your trying to strengthen your body. Once you hit your 0.8-1 gms then eat the rest in fats and a few…

I dont get the hate for sodium. Really its over - exaggerated by the marketing groups who think "low sodium" foods makes them healthy. If you like high sodium foods, just drink more water. Yes you will be bloated, but as long as your macros are consistent deficit it doesnt really matter if you are bloated or not. You will…

Well they did that one study where one guy was fed straight vitamins / nutrients and nothing else...
-
Whats your TDEE. Calculate that first. If you can consistently do 1200 calories a day, then keep at it if your on a deficit
-
Exactly. Calorie in and out. Whole grains make you feel more full, so real "healthy" cereal can be good for you if you need portion control. I miss the golden days of childhood eating those frosted flakes. Sugary goodness.

Have you tried CKD? With a carb load every week for 24 hours (can be friday night - saturday night). I find it very beneficial to keep my cravings under control and have something to look forward to ever week.
-
I wanted you guys to look at the charts to back up my basic point: Increased carbs = higher insulin levels = which causes hunger cravings and also a side effect increases Lipogenesis = more fat converted. This is particularly bad when you are eating high fat on top which goes straight to your adipose tissue. Which makes…

http://biocadmin.otago.ac.nz/fmi/xsl/bioc2/learnbitslecture.xsl?-db=BIOC2web.fp7&-lay=Lectures&-recid=5263&-find= This should explain everything in a scientific way. Certainly you can see that eating a high fat / high carb would not be at all optimal for weight loss.

Cause eating a pizza every other week is gonna screw up your macros..... lol at everyone saying they eat 1-2 slices a week and they are continuing to lose fat. OF COURSE YOU CAN DO THAT. YOU CAN EAT a whole bag of DORITOS and still lose weight. But does that mean its GOOD FOOD? Enjoy your cheat meals, but this is pretty…

http://jcem.endojournals.org/content/89/6/2717.abstract Why do you think almost every diet is either "low fat" or "low carbs". I did, and I stalled + my muscle retention was absolute ****. And had hunge hunger cravings after eating. I'm at the gym / running outside 6 days a week. If you want to slow down your progress go…

Im on keto, so perhaps I am biased. I am lifting stronger right now on Keto, while still cutting fat out (while the traditional calorie deficit makes you lose LBM) The point is really, most people on this forum (based on my limited reading) look to have a TDEE below 2000. You cannot eat pizza on that diet unless you have…
-
Yea, and you can eat McDonald while on a cut too. Doesn't mean its a good food to cut on. I'll stand behind one of the worst things to eat on a cut. Period. Whats your TDEE, probably above 2000+ calories? Its not hard to maintain that with a slice of pizza thrown in.
-
If you really think eating simple carbs and fat at the same time is good for you, you need to get your head examined bud. I never said carbs and fat are evil (considering 60% of my diet is fat). Eating at the same time however, yep. And bull**** on your work hard you can eat whatever you like. Some people don't have a TDEE…
-
Absolutely Yes. Essential on any diet. Your body post workout is ripe for protein. Not feeding it would waste your entire workout.
-
Pizza is horrible for you with its double whammy of Carbs + Fats at the same time. The reason you eat so many slices and get hungry soon and end up binge eating. Throws your insulin into complete wacko. How many people do you actually see eating 1 - 2 slices. I haven't touched pizza since last year. Probably one of the…

It never ceases to amaze me how much women obsess over their legs. Us guys really don't give a hoot, in fact you'll see a lot of chicken leg guys at the gym who refuse to squat. I'm sure your fiance wont mind either ;) Congrats on the loss. Btw that overweight / underweight is a complete pile of ___. A BF% is much more…
-
Sorry but your information is way off. I am average fit male and stalled at 1800 now going to 1700 on Keto. A 5'2 Female at that weight should NOT be eating 2000 calories. No way in the world. Do NOT use impedance scales or pinch tests. They are COMPLETELY inaccurate. Get a Dexa Scan / Water displacement test if you are…
-
Your not gonna want to hear this, but again no way to spot reduce. Everyone stores fat a bit differently, and it seems like your body likes to put it on your lower torso (be happy, I rather have big legs then have stubborn fat on the gut). Keep cutting and no its not "too skinny" till those fat rolls are gone. Keep up your…

Big trick is to always have some broccoli steamers in the fridge. I throw a bag and eat half, even at midnight, the calorie effects are minimal, but boy does it stuff you and kills any hunger.

Ozeri Food Scale + Medicine (plastic cups) that measure tablespoons

Or do Keto :) !

AF attracts middle - upper class predominantly white teens. That's their target market. Teens in general have a high metabolism and are more likely to be in shape (see freshman year of college). Teens who shop at AF really usually don't give a crap about feelings for "fat people", lets be honest here. Again this CEO is a…

Yep. And I guarantee you now the extra publicity he is getting is going to increase brand loyalty. Its real genius how he pulled it out. And the media are just taking the bait. Whoever is his PR guy is gonna get a raise. Segmentation - That is how you survive in the tough retail economy. Unless you are Walmart, you ain't…

If you are trying to stimulate fat loss, LISS is optimal. Spinning presumably bumps your heart rate too fast to do that. So yes do cardio, I do around 3-5 miles a day of LISS. That means slow jogging and walking around, so your muscles dont get fatigued when you lift afterwards. But its up to each person what their speed…
