actually if you read through the thread, i have several people who haven't tried it tell me it is a bad idea, and amade very valid points i have considered. however a few people who have done that deficit say it can be an effective short term solution as long as i know it's not a lifestyle. that was the reason i am asking…

i dont think i could manage a whole month, heck 3 days in its already hard and i have less energy...i'm just hoping to push through for a couple weeks. i always eat like crap when im home and dont have access to a gym so its a double negative...hence the rush to lose so im not adding to a weight im already really unhappy…

im a dog person anyways, kittens are annoying!

i actually have been consistently getting 1000-1500 calories a day over my bmr burned through exercising, however i have been doing calorie cycling so that on lifting days i get like 10% over and non-lifting days i shoot for 1000 deficit...therefor my weekly net deficit was less than 500/day and i know this isn't a long…

i was under the impression muscle was the last to get used for energy, after stored glycogen and fat ha...maybe thats why i started going bald in high school when i first went from 300lbs to 180lbs doing stupid stuff like ephedra and ipecac...those were some terrible years for me
-
WOW...very obvious...thanks for the visual!
-
okay okay, as opposed to a straight calorie number, if i shoot for 30% deficit is this a better approach? and i'm having an extra protein bar right now!
-
i'm hoping adequate protein coupled with every other day lifting will help save lbm...and im okay with losing some i gain pretty easily...who knew i was a mesomorph, i had always assumed ecto since i was sooo fat
-
just trying for a kickstart before a holiday vacation, as i always gain on these trips...figure i can go back to bulking after i see friends and family

well in the last few months my tdee has been 3500-3800 on average, and that is not taking into account my fitbit can't factor in extra energy expended during weight training, lvl 20 elliptical resistance, and 5-12% incline on the treadmill so 4000+ isnt a stretch, and im trying to add in roughly 60-90 min of additional…
-
i'm actually splitting up the workouts so its around 1000 in the am and another 1000 in the pm to make up the deficit
-
yeah about 5mph for 3 hrs gets me pretty close to that according to a HRM i have only recently heard of intramuscular fat, as i had previously though muscle was muscle and fat was fat. and i had an experience with this "halt" on a fasted run once i hit mile 12, i had to walk the last two and i was not feeling well for like…
-
to actually build muscle you need to add more reps, as a previous poster said time under tension is key. try lengthening the time you spend on the eccentric portions of the lift, like a 1 up 4 down count.

whoa???? pepper has calories???
-
its oil, it has the same calories as any other oil...like 35-40 a tsp...the reason each spray has 0 is each spray is less than the necessary amount of calories to require labeling, thus they can list it as calorie free... its the same as that i cant believe its not butter spray...0 cals a spray but the bottle has like 500…

-
i thought this had to do with running naked...what a bummer!
-
has anyone even heard of GVT???
-
Agreed!
-
yeah food scales are overrated, never used one and lost about 100 lbs total. labels are never super accutrate, and the time it saves isn't worth it. i always err on the side of overestimation anyways, and throw in a +50 quick add calories to account for any misestimations... in the long run 10 cals a day won't hurt, it…
-
i consider everything pre-sleep as part of the energy expended for that day, as the body uses the time sleeping to put those calories into repairing and building the muscles damaged during the day's training... the body doesn't have a clock that's like "midnight, new day, calories count towards tomorrow" that's what…
-
Exercise, sure, just keep the intensity low...however have some common courtesy for your fellow humans who are not sick and PLEASE KEEP YOUR GERMS OUTTA THE GYM!

too late to finish? this is a good read, no such thing as too late in my opinion... http://broscience.com/broscience-com-approved-articles/889-dont-eat-carbs-after.html#post9824

if you are exercising and only eating 1500 cals you are most likely not getting near enough calories. unless you are 4' 10" thats way too few calories to even support your bmr. if your body doesnt get enough nutrition for toooo long it will react by holding on to every last bit.

had the same problem at the same weight last year...look into 16:8 intermittent fasting (leangains.com is a good place to start) or simply calorie cycling if I.F. is a little too extreme at first oh, and you said you've been exercising more...i tried this too and found that i was creating too large a deficit overall, had…
