@reneaz Diet will be important. Focus on high protein and appropriate calories. For training, I would invest into some resistance bands or a suspension trainer, or dumbbells and/or kettlebells, and do some resistance training to get the results you are looking for. A full body program 2-3...

@tomatheist Time and consistency friend. I’m fighting the same battle. Although I have found more success focusing on strength training than when I was running a lot. Prioritizing Protein in my diet made a big difference as well.

@jake99901 Either way, it still requires the same principals of nutrition. The only real difference for the most part between Cutting, maintaining or bulking will be your daily/weekly calorie targets. Easiest way to bounce between the three is by modifying your carbohydrate intake, in my...

@jake99901 Of you want to lose weight, and more specifically fat, read and follow the evidence based information in this article: https://www.strongerbyscience.com/diet/

@pianoismylife83 I don’t think that the dexa scans are consistent and/or accurate enough to use that data reliably. I could be wrong, but from what I’ve heard, that appears to be the case. I’ve never actually had one done personally though.

@pamgaz How confident are you on the accuracy of your calorie count? It may not be an issue for you, but many people seem to run into trouble when it comes to accurately tracking consumed calories. Might be worth looking into...

@dillinger 1700 calories is a deficit for me at 170 lbs. I would suggest increasing calories to prevent acceleration of muscle loss while trying to lose fat. FYI, I started at 240Lbs and am currently about 170. What works for me is a calorie target of 8-12 calories per lb of body weight, and...

@uzezi My downfall is snacking because I like tasty treats sometimes. I average 140-180 grams of protein per day, along with plenty of carbs and fats. I eat plenty. Sometimes snaking is more related to mental/emotional reasons or habits, rather than physical need. Either way, it’s not that...

@japel Any answer will be a guess at best. There are too many variables to get an accurate answer. A better idea, in my opinion, would be to ask: “how should I optimize fat loss over the next 3 months” Focus on healthy habits and protocols and the weight loss will be the result. Focus on the...

@basicsacademy These days I’m only really focusing on, but also being consistent with: my calorie target (based on 8-12 calories per lb of body weight as I am trying to reduce body fat) my protein target (0.8+ grams per lb of bodyweight seems to be what works well for me. Up to maybe 1.2 g...

@jonnyblue88 That’s all fine and dandy on paper…but it turns out that I’m still good at snacking even with clean teeth. Just one of my many talents 😉 It’s not that big of an issue. I can keep it under control for the most part. Every once in a while though, the kids snacks start a callin’...

@basicsacademy Here’s what my meals typically look like: Breakfast: 2-4 boiled eggs, and apple and a protein shake Or greek yogurt, mixed berries, steel cut oats Lunch: 6-8 oz Lean meats (chicken, pork, beef, fish, etc) with a couple of handfulls of raw veggies are my typical lunches...

@elakhim I use a similar formula. 8-12 calories per lb of current bodyweight for a deficit 12-16 calories for maintenance 16 - 18 calories for a lean bulk. For a deficit, I start at the higher number and adjust down based on two weeks of consistency. It works well for me. I also target 0.8+...

@blake2030 Agree 👍

@ttcmacro I am of the opinion that deadlifts and squats help prevent the type of injury you are referring to…when done with good form and with appropriate loads, anyway. Like “Mark Smelly Bell” says: Strength is never a weakness, and weakness is never a strength.

@bayface107 If you use the app Hevy, you can probably find some people there. It’s set up to be a social workout app. I too have a physique goal rather than a weight goal. 💪💥

@minsc Maybe check out “The Ultimate Diet 2.0” by Lyle McDonald.
