worrying about sodium only comes into play once you get below 10% bodyfat (as a male) and want to look your best just try to keep it below 2400mg

when you squat down in front of a mirror with your hands behind your head, how deep can you go? does it look like your butt tucks under?

try intermittent fasting (if you're a women take it easy) and walk every morning on an empty stomach e.g. I walk 3km from the train station to university and then have my breakfast there about an hour later my goal is to build muscle and this method keeps fat gain minimal

don't be discouraged and keep at it google "fat loss whooshes", they are real, especially for women

go on a slow cut, you'll look good but never bulk again, that's for bodybuilders, you don't gain muscle faster anyway and being lean feels better

meal timing seems to have no impact body weight meal timing has a noticable impact on body composition/water fluctuation that's why people feel very lean towards the end of fasting windows, which feels awesome

I have been on a similar fasting diet (to gain muscle) for almost 4 months now. It's the most natural way of eating for me and feel very energetic I think it's the reason I stayed lean, too.

In case you are just worried about taking creatine in form of a supplement powder: 1-2 decent steaks (contain creatine), implementing carb backloading and a gallon of water a day gave me similar results Edit: I did not aim to really bulk up however, and most of the impact of supplements lies in the power of positive…

Yep, I try to just go as organic and healthy as possible (!), many fitness gurus will go way overboard with their dieting advice... We're living in the 21st century and some of the food that came along since the stoneage isn't that bad after all.

90% of the weight gained on such occasions will be water, a perfectly normal response when dieting. It will go away by itself within 2 days or so, don't worry about it - actually cheat meals signalize your body "hey, I think we're not gonna starve after all" and further help you lose weight... Feeling guilty or not,…

Yeah, thats the case with most studies published... others will be hippies with too much time at their hands spreading non-sense just for the heck of it

Agreed. That's exactly what I think! However, water weight fluctuates quite intensely when I get down to abs level and at that point my scale has a mind of its own. So OP could wake up tomorrow morning after a regular fast and feel super lean for whatever reason... does happen to me....

Actually destilled water will cause your body to loose water weight, there was a big controversy about it beeing dangerous when I researched this. Fact is, it worked with me but I'm not gonna pretend that I understand the physiological background. When it comes to fitness, especially on the web, everybody thinks they know…

but then again I think it's quite pointless... and dangerous, something fighters will do, monitored by professional fitness coaches.

If you are really (!!!) serious about it, drink destilled water, half a gallon will do the trick, 3lbs should be no problem. Although many people claim (for whatever reasons) it could kill you ... it won't. I did it myself, alive and well.

As I increased cardiovascular excercise my RHR dropped and at a routine check they said thats perfectly fine. Option 1 - you measured your RHR wrong Option 2 - you are blessed with a strong, healthy heart - maybe for genetic reasons - which is great, although 48bpm actually is quite low Option 3 - the moment you measured…

For me, a single cheat meal seems to be enough to make my system believe "hey... I think this dude isn't actually going to starve". Have your normal breakfast, work out, have a cheat meal for lunch and then fast until the next morning, I will usually wake up feeling super lean -> intense boost for motivation!

mmh... Just be careful with canned foods (includes canned vegetables) and convenience foods, McDonalds and Sodas. when I was cutting for abs first time in my life I hit a brick wall at like 11% BF, MFP didn't list any significant sodium surplus. Looked up stuff on the internet, left out everything mentioned above + did…

I wouldn't worry too much about a night out drinking, one night out of the week will neither help nor manipulate your progress, but release some of the pent-up tension many experience when dieting. unless you're close to the finish line on cutting for abs. Most of the weight gained on nights out is water and will disappear…
