Another year wasted, i guess it's time to simply give up

Better luck next year. Keep hitting it through the winter.

Its annoying how some people just seem to get lean so easily, while others struggle like crazy, what the fuck is the difference?

I know some guys who will just say "ok time to get lean" and within a 2 months they have shredded abs.

Meanwhile 2 months of cutting barely does anything, I just get less fat, but still have fat all over me.

My body really really fucking hates losing fat, other guys can just seem to lose it the moment they feel like it at a whim.

I am doing CICO and counting macros, etc, it just seems like my body is heavily resistant to fatloss, or maybe im just overestimating my actual caloric needs and maybe im not in as much of a deficit (or a deficit at all), but then again that would mean calorie calculators are way over-estimating my needs.

Btw yeah I'll cut on 1800 calories, and eat 150g protein in that, and for some reason I just stay fat looking doing that for 2-3 months. I might lose like 10 pounds, thats it. Its so fucking annoying to have to starve myself on such low calories and end up barely losing any fat.

Just keep working at it. There was a survey done with people who had lost weight and kept it off successfully for years. They went about it in different ways, but there was one thing they almost all had in common which was “don’t keep trying” and “keep going”.

>crash diet
never do this without pharma in the mix

water retention will ruin your physique if you're not careful
i have the same issue as you guys, no matter how much weight i lose, i'll still look like shit
i only ever look good if i eat an autistically clean diet for weeks straight with zero cheating
significantly reduce your sugar & sodium and see if that helps at all

There won't be next year.
I was lean before but i can't get back to the same level. My pretty much just shuts down. I can't sleep, lift or even think. I'm not normie standard "fat". It's my retarded body fat distribution makes me look way fatter than i am in reality.
I never said im natty. Besides, running gear won't change anything besides keeping your test levels stable and prevent you from losing as much muscle as you would lose natty.

Neva eva believe the calculators for calorie burning activities
You burn the calories there but your body saves them elsewhere with metabolic adjustments
Just count what you put in and track the weight you lose, subtracting calories for cardio and etc. is a meme

Aim to lose about 2kg of fat per month. That should tell you your max bodyfat% during the winter and how long you should cut for. I would also take an extra month for buffer (accidentally wrote buffet, kek).

If you’re doing cardio then you aren’t doing enough of it. Simple as.

Hit the stair master for an hour every day for 3 months and then we’ll have a discussion otherwise all this shit that I didn’t even read is irrelevant.

Fucking idiots

If you wanna be extra sure aim for 1.5 or even 1kg

No retard, thinking that the treadmill saying you burned 150 means you can drink a soda "for free" is a meme

don't you know how to roughly estimate burned calories based on your height, weight, distance, wattage, etc? You're the fucking retard here if you really think that someone would actually believe in numbers displayed on the machine.

>running gear won't change anything
There's more than AAS for cutting. GH and Sema are especially nice. A replacement dose of thyroid helps A LOT.

I’m one of those guys and what people don’t see they don’t know unless I tell them. The biggest thing I have going for me is I know that I can be lean because I usually am. So when I’m cutting I don’t get nearly as discouraged because I always know it’s a realistic goal. I’ve been there before and it’s just a matter of time and effort before I get back there.

This is immensely helpful because it really becomes a kind game but there’s no secret here: it’s only easy looking because I hide how hard I work.

For example: I joined a mma gym and would do 3-4 sessions a week of back to back Muay Thai and BJJ. When I say back to back I mean same day I’d do 2-3 classes which amounted to 3 hours of training in one day. I would also do these classes fasted, not eating the entire day until after class. Some days I was so pumped I would even hit the weights for another hour after and then eat.

It’s pretty insane and my relatives have all commented on it, some even wondering if I should get checked for the rapid weight loss. Which is silly since I told them all early this year that I was going to get back in shape now that COVID restrictions have been completely lifted at my gym etc.

The point here is I’m not going to tell people how much I’m busting my ass unless they are interested in doing the same because it’s lost on most people. In all honestly very few people can relate to what it’s like to go through 3 hours of intense training, where you literally lose lbs from sweat, while not eating for a 48 hours prior.

I get it, it is intense and I only do it every so often when I feel like I have the willpower. But it’s great once you have done it once or twice and know it is something you can choose to do if you want it bad enough.

pure bro science

Ah so you believe the calories displayed on your other, cooler machine instead
There is literally no reason to track calories burned in that way, just treat it as part of your metabolic baseline (which you should be keeping track of, since it changes as your body weight does) and you'll stop stalling out so hard

>don't count calories from cardio
>count them as part of your metabolic baseline
holy fuck, do you even realize what you've just said you fucking retard?

>weight loss stalls
>increase cardio
>weight loss continues
?????

you can't increase cardio into infinity when you're already on low calories

>when you're already on low calories
which why you never drop them too low

you know it doesn't matter how high is the number? One guy will suffer on 1500, other guy will suffer the same on 3500 calories
