No Cardio for Fatloss?
I have about 20lbs to lose. If I am in a calorie deficit, balanced macros, and ONLY weight-train, is this a good way to lose weight or do I need cardio too? I know it's all about being in a calorie deficit, but am I wasting time spending more time on weight lifting if being in a calorie deficit won't allow you to gain…

I am wanting to lean out and have that Bikini Bodybuilder look (I know there are more extensive ways to train if I wanted to compete). What workout program would you recommend?

BOREDOM!!
I am soo bored with my workouts! I can't find joy in them anymore-it's a routine now, not my "most exciting time of the day" kinda thing. I used to love it but now I can't find something new. I don't know if it's the years of barely any results from any workout/nutrition programs? I've barely ever had progress. My schedule…

Dairy Questions!
Hi! I don't know if this is where I should post it, but does dairy help eczema? I've been following iifym, but now by cutting out gluten and dairy, I feel like there's not that much freedom in iifym choices!

Sweets turn to constant cravings
So I noticed that once I eat sweets (like icecream) I tend to crave them a lot throughout the week. Like eat ice cream Monday, and Tuesday I eat ice cream again, and Wednesday I eat ice cream again, and Thursday I try to avoid ice cream just so I can try to fill my calories with better quality foods, but then crave it…

Cheat meals a go? Or no?
With 8 weeks left to be on stage with a bikini (for a pageant, but still want to look lean...) Will iifym with cheat meals work fine or not as effective as iifym with clean foods? Would my results be different if I still hit my macros and calories but not have cheat meals vs yes, having cheat meals? Make sense?
-
Cheat meal quality or quantity
If I have 8 weeks left until I need to be on a stage with a bikini, 1. should I be lowering carbs? 2. And do cheat meals slow down progress (even iffym cheat meals)? 3. Has anyone tried the fat shredder on p90x? 4. Should I be adding more cardio?

Protein too much?
So I have a friend highly suggesting to follow 50P/25C/25F approach to really shed fat, but that would be like 180-225g of protein. Is it really that necessary? If I weigh 155lb,woman, 25%BF? I workout 45 minutes 5 times a week with 1800 calories. I have 12ish weeks to lose as much as I can (healthily)

Is p90x relevant today?
p90x3 said they put a lot more time in developing the x3 program and nutrition plan than they did of p90x and p90x2 combined. So does that mean the p90x meal plan is still relevant today? Like does it still work despite new science stuff? Like is 20% fat too low? Low carb, More than 1g/pound protein not needed?
-
Dairy? Wheat?
When cutting is it best to cut out dairy?(including plain Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, and mozerella cheese) Also, should you cut out wheat (wheat/whole wheat breads replacing with brown rice, oats, and sweet potato)? And a side note, is ham fine?(ex:master carve ham Kirkland)

Binged/oversplured on reverse
Well, I'm so embarrassed about it, but Thursday I ate like 3000 calories, 1300 over goal, and then Saturday I ate 3000 calories, another 1300 over 1700 reverse diet goal!!

Reversing and overate.
So we had a lab in which we had to do something with chocolate chip cookies. Let's just say I went way over on the calories I should have been eating. I'm up to 1700 from starting at 1350-1400. What should I do to prevent weight gain? Eat less the next day, minus 100 a day for the week?

I've been trying to lose weight for such a long time without much success. Averaging out to 1500-1600 calories a week (yes, weighing everything, as accurately as I can get), exercising…
