Youll build muscle as long as you have more protein than your body breaks down for energy, and to replenish your muscles, eating at a deficit when you have a reserve of fat will allow you to gain, albeit more slowly you wont 'bulk up' but you also wont be skinny at the end, this is from my short experience of low netting.

netting low calories has worked so far for me I dont feel hungry or hypoglcemic as I would if I simply dieted, I've netted very few calories over the month of June and that wasn't even including my BMR, I took a week off at the end and gained nothing back even after increasing my calorie intake to about 1400-1500 per day,…

Yes it is, I lost about 15 pounds in June that was only about 2 inches for me. but i burned 400-500 calories per workout (14 times per week) and only ate about 1000-1100 calories per day, but like others have said it depends on your initial size.

Cardio is key.

I use to feel the same way, and I remembered something that I read about it being about boredom and less about food being awesome, busying yourself with activities and fully enclose you such as exercising seems to turn off the hunger switch, needless to say when i switched to getting in shape my caloric intake became so…

you should definitely eat breakfast EVERY day, think of it as starting the engine. people can say what they want about being underfed but unless you are feeling hungry or dizzy everyday your metabolism has already adapted to this lower rate, and the only way to change that is to eat more than you burn for a prolonged…

I'd do lighter cardio, i found that while intense running increased cardiovascular endurance, it did little to shed weight, try switching to a distance rather than speed routine.

It really depends imho, i have a brother and sister who ate about the same as me as kids, but it was pretty obvious my bmr was much lower than theirs as I simply gained weight even eating below 1500 calories a day while they maintained less than 15% body fat, in my case dieting did little to nothing, however i started an…
