Caloric intake advice
So over the last couple of months I have been having light headedness and dizzy spells while standing up from sitting down. I didn't particularly understand why myself. I went to the doctors and she had suggested I up my calories a bit. I had told her I was around 1800 while successfully losing weight I'm 33 year old male…

Least amount of resistance training
Now I realise this is going to be a controversial topic however I want to state its not about lack of motivation or effort or anything else like that. But surely like everything else there's surely no need to spend 26 hours a day in a gym or at home leaving my life empty outside of fitness. If we follow everything we're…

Intermittent lifting
By this I mean, is it possible to make gains by doing some odd exercises every now and then during the day. For instance 3 sets of 10 reps xkg of squats to overhead press with dumbbells. It's a complete set not just one. Then an hour or so later do some incline bench press with dumbbells. I know this will never equal to a…

Hi everyone I'd like to hear of some of your success stories regarding if you are skinny fat like me. How you got along with the body recomposition route. How long did it take you to see some results in the mid section and chest areas for example? Your favourite exercises or routines. I'd love to know to see how it…

Weak Core
I'm fairly certain my core is very weak. A while ago doing exercises especially like flutter kicks I get a deep pain in the lower abdominals. Not just the nornal burning muscle sensation I can take that. It happens slightly when doing crunches as well. When that happened I had to almost stop for a good few weeks as the…

Motivation near end.
How does everyone keep their motivation near the end of their weight loss goal? I've got maybe 5 pounds left to lose. Although quite a bit of fat left to lose. As I'm unfortunately skinny fat. So that means body recomp mode and everything will be painfully slow. This is where I will start to struggle. Will not see any…

Chocolate and snacks
Does anyone else find themselves just grabbing a bunch of chocolates or snacks just to fill up the calorie gap? I feel like when I've had a healthier day of eating add in an hour or more of jogging and such. After dinner I find myself somewhere between 600-900 behind my calorie goal. And that's to lose 0.5lbs daily goal.…

Continue weight/fat loss or recomp?
I'm male 6ft and currently 73.2kgs. (11st 8) so for my height I'm Almost ideal weight. But the fat is still pretty much on the bigger side. I'm skinny fat as I've heard. I've lost nearly 19kgs in the last 6 month so I've actually found the weight loss almost easy to be honest. Fat loss on the other hand hasn't really moved…

Waist measurements
I'm a bit miffed at this point. I'm male 6ft 0. Weight is 73.7kg I have lost a good 18kg since April. Since then I've been trying to keep track of my waist measurements but its just really erratic. Ive been almost at 37" (around the belly button) especially seeing as one day I'll measure 36" and then the next 38" thinking…

Well im a month or so into doing it properly again. Im not the strongest guy so I'm doing only around 7-8kgs with bicep curls with dumbbells. However…

Resistance training
So I'm kinda new to doing resistance training properly. I've been in and out of gyms for years but never sure if I've been doing anything properly. So I've got a nice book showing proper form and movement. But I'm unsure of about reps and sets and actual weight. I've no interest in looking like Mr. Universe that's just…

Lose weight (fat) or body recomp
Sorry for the bad photos. I'm having trouble of what direction I should be heading in. I've lost 39lbs so far. Currently 75.7kg in weight and I am 33yo at 6ft tall. So I'm almost ideal weight but my body fat for belly and chest area is too much. According to my bluetooth scales although I don't believe it says bf is 16.1%…

Health checkup
I'm wondering if and especially on the nhs docs. Is it possible to get a good health check up with a few different tests and scans? I'd like to see how my health is going forward. For example simple blood tests for cholesterol levels should be fairly easy enough as well as blood sugar and such . But what about body fat…

My waist for jeans is currently sitting at 30" and getting smaller. I think nearly 28" waist which is almost too small for a guy. So I'm super skinny on the bottom and a large t-shirt on…
