I have taken supplements over the years and tried different diets. I know everyone is different but what works best for me has been Macros. I still eat pizza, tacos, hamburgers, ice cream almost weekly but I lose the weight because I manage what goes in. I am not changing what I eat just how much I eat.

The diets like Keto and low carb everyone gains the weight back as soon as they go off the diet. With macros you do not change what you eat you just moniter the amount you eat.

In order for those low carb diets to work, you have to STAY on a low carb diet, otherwise you gain it all back and then some.
I've heard this a lot but personally I haven't had that experience.

I did keto (mostly during the week) for 7 months, and dropped about 50 lbs. It's been about 7 months or so and I'm still 20 lbs down from where I used to be. I haven't turned away a carb in probably 5 months.

I'm on the see food diet.

This^^ the most optimal results I’ve ever seen were while I counted macros. Both while bulking and in a cut it really dumbed down the process. I’ve taken a good year off lifting but am just getting back into it and for me I find if I at least track carbs and protein it makes a huge difference. My struggle is opposite most as bulking is tough and involves a disgusting amount of food. Last real bulk I was doing 265P/700C/120F and it was miserable.

Jesus Christ....How much do you weigh?
Honestly not very big in my opinion, at that point I was hanging around 189 at like 10-11% BF. Currently I’m in garbage shape 184 at like 15% BF.

In fairness I was also on test/tren. I’ve been on TRT since my late 20s and I’ve done a few blasts while working with a coach. It’s the food intake needs that have kept me from making the push to get over 200lbs.

I doubt I’ll do another blast as I don’t compete and the extra risk factors to my health isn’t something I want to deal with. My goal getting back into lifting again is to just hit 190lbs at 12% BF. I’m thinking at 225P/450C/90F I could likely get there

A black iced coffee just doesn't cut the mustard though.

I have a real espresso machine and I will sometimes dump 2-4 shots over ice and then dump a premier protein shake in...****ing delicious!

Cutting weight is all mindset and self control. One thing I keep in mind before deciding to cut I remember that adding the lbs I now want to lose was like borrowing happiness from the future because forcing yourself to lose weight sucks and will take work.
Some of the tricks I use is zero sugar so no soda, no snack foods, no sugar in coffee, nada. Also if you’re doing it right you should be going to bed hungry, but not starving. Workout on a fully empty stomach.
Essentially what you have to do is remove all happiness from your life.

Or just buy some meth off of smooth.

If you're doing keto, you can use heavy whipping cream and stevia (or erythritol) in your coffee.

And you people who say you lost 10 lbs in a week . . . you realize that is physically impossible for that to not be mostly water weight . . . unless you're fasting and running a marathon a day.


So you caught the comments about 10 lbs but missed the comments about intermittent fasting.

Gotcha

What? Going to bed hungry, lifting empty stomach? LOL it’s been well proven majority of meal timing for the average person is irrelevant. If anything it’s best to evenly spread protein through the day but even that yields negligible results.

You should tailor a cutting diet to include more low carb high volume food sources think veggies like cauliflower, turnips, mushrooms, the list goes on. There is no need to be starving yourself to the point you remove happiness from your life. That creates poor relationships with food and generally causes people to fail at dieting when they crash and over eat.

I’ll do fasted cardio, but will never lift on an empty stomach, that’s pointless. If I am eating carbs, then I like to time them earlier in the day as opposed to eating them in the evening/night.
