Well that's true, slow gains are he sustainable gains they say. Even in the weight loss. On the other hand, you don't want to be in a deficit for too long no matter how small it is. Because if you're a natty, you generally want to spend as much time as possible on building muscle and getting stronger.

I largely agree with what's posted at the top.. It's a loaded workout schedule, I have to say. As someone who's overtrained in the past.. While everything feels great keep doing what you're doing but the moment you start feeling that extra fatigue and loss of motivation, just pull back and chill out for a while, and know…

It's either that, or how you determine your "maintenance" . Which is now experimentally found to be 3k in my case. The problem is that some weeks you're gonna work out more, and some less (to.repair, recover and get stronger ) so this maintenance fluctuates a lot too

6'2'' and about 210lb

250 deficit sounds like I good idea but I doubt food scales and calorie count on labels are that accurate. That's what I've been doing for the past month with no results

About 5lb

Measure tape is better.. ;) You could be one of those lucky people who can build muscle answer burn fat at the same time.. Have you been getting stronger?

I heard some people claim to even have built some while dieting.. But last year I've lost 30lbs in 3 months and a ton of muscle! I was lifting really heavy too

Slow gains are the sustainable ones they say folks... ;) I've lost 38 lbs last year, looked really ripped but generally felt pretty weak. For example, bench press was down from 225 to 185 ... and it felt misearable the whole time. Now I'm up by 30lbs again, feeling really strong, eating carbs normally (but not overeating )…

I know I'd had nice abs if I only lost that annoying 10lb of fat.. but won't do it- too concerned bench press will fall from 245 back to 185 .. Ego's in the way

It's better to lift or do something high intensity anaerobic if you want to look like a man. Even small amounts of fat, after all that cardio, can make you look fat if there's no muscle: it's kind of fat to muscle ratio that determines the looks

Why not add a 1 hour walk every morning on empty stomach while listening to something useful on your phone? If you do it every day (regardless of the weather or if you had a party last night!), there's your 1.5 lb a week without any dieting. Add a mild 300 calorie deficit on top of that and tada! 2lb / week loss, which is…

Every once in a while I'd do a cross country hike that ends up on a peak of some mountain with 20lb bag and some scrambling involved. MFP says 8 hrs of such hiking burns about 4-5k calories.. I found by experience that eating raisins every 30 min and protein bars every hr or so generally helps to prevent the loss of…

I need help!!!! So im on 1300 a day but the BMR calculator on the site is telling me mine is only 1333?!?! Can this be right? Surely not, other calculators always say around 1500-1800 See what's your weight after 2 weeks and how you feel.. If it's dropping too rapidly or you're feeling bad then increase your cals. Various…

eat 1600 calories instead ... ;) but add (in addition to whatever you're already doing) 1 hour of steady pace walking in the morning on empty stomach while sipping water. Go to bed earlier and get up earlier ... Works like charm and you'll feel great if you're not doing this for more than a month. But have to do it EVERY…
