Caloric deficit diets cause weight loss 100% of the time. This is indisputable. Sure some people have hormonal imbalances that make eating at a deficit or determining their deficit more complicated, but if the diet is restricted sufficiently, weight loss is inevitable.

Last week was my first week back to bulking. One night I had 6 chicken kabobs, 3 8oz steaks and a cup of broccoli and carrots for supper. Another night I had 8 small chicken breasts, a banana, bowl of strawberries and a plate of rice for supper. Etc. Lost 1 lb >_> Body fat down to 7.6%. Was absolutely stuffed though. This week I ate the same food. Introduced some junk though. Ate some caramel icecream cones after supper for about 300 cal a piece. Weren't even the slightest bit filling. Had an extra glass of milk before bed as well. Gained 0.64 lb! Success 8)

Re: The Fitness Thread
Sounds good to me
I think I just need to generally start eating more though. Thinking back, my meals aren't really big enough to give me gains, but I never thought that I would have lost 4 pounds. Maybe I will go get some creatine... I should probably get a weight gainer too. Last edited by Poison-; 08-15-2012 at 12:52 PM.. |

For creatine, I used Purple K Kre-Alkalyn Buffered Monohydrate. I just switched to Micronized Creapure Monohydrate. Try Purple K if you would prefer taking a pill over powder.

Re: The Fitness Thread
^ kre-alkalyn is only really good for the pill form. I dont buy into the hype that it's "better" because it's ph balanced or whatever.
Real Gains and other gainers! If you're trying to gain weight, get a weight gainer protein, not just whey. 300-500 cals adds up. I've never had a problem eating, unfortunately, so I don't really have trouble gaining weight, just losing it. |

Re: The Fitness Thread
I do 2 scoops twice a day hahaha. I take it with whole milk though, so it's 600 calories per shake for a total of 1200 extra calories a day. The carbs in that bitch help so much.

You didn't read the link. Trying to respond intelligently to less than 1% of what someone says is pretty funny.

Once I start bulking I'll probably take some real gains, but I know that anything over 50 carbs and it goes right to fat for me. If only I was a crazy mesomorph...Although who knows, maybe when I get really cut up I'll find out that I am.. Doubtful though! |

Re: The Fitness Thread
Cavernio:
from your citation: Quote:
Weight loss/gain is as simple as energy in/energy out. Eating is nothing more than mass assimilation, and moving around requires energy which is drawn from that mass. Use up more energy than you're putting in, you get a net loss in mass. Assimilate more mass than you're burning off? You see a net gain in mass. It works that way for everyone. When people's bodies have serious trouble absorbing food/burning energy otherwise, they become very ill and/or die. It's biology, yes, but math is what lets you dictate your diet parameters so you can control healthy weight loss (e.g. set your calories too low and you risk burning muscle too). Either way, it's a pretty inescapable conclusion: You operate at a deficit, you lose weight. Genetics/external variables play a role, but I think people allocate too much blame there. The other day I actually had this discussion with one of my girlfriend's friends (who is overweight) who was telling me that she has a condition that makes her body hold onto fat for dear life, making it hard for her to lose weight (so she has this weird fiber-laden, gluten-free diet or something, don't remember). Fast forward an hour later and she's gone through an entire ream of crackers plus a slice of pizza and a Coke. Something tells me her genetics aren't her main problem, here. Even when you think about it in evolutionary frameworks, it just makes plain sense as to why we're all getting fatter: We move less, and eat more -- especially during a small sliver of time when our bodies haven't adjusted that much from earlier times when food was harder to come by and we had to work harder for it. Nowadays it's easy to get big portions of unhealthy, nutrient-devoid crap at every corner. Last edited by Reincarnate; 08-15-2012 at 03:54 PM.. |

Re: The Fitness Thread
I started bulking 4 week ago. Started at 130lbs and currently 140lbs. 5 foot 9.
Going continue bulking up and working out for a good 6 months then start cutting. My Appetite has never been good so i purchased some Optimum Nutrition Serious Mass. I only take a half serving first thing in the morning and post workout. I had the Banana one and it's enjoyable to drink!

Re: The Fitness Thread
I can't believe I just found this thread...it's like my two favorite things to do on the internet have combined. I've been into body building/general fitness as a lifestyle for the past 3 years. I ran cross/track all through middle and high school, took a year off, and decided to put on some mass. I went from 160 lbs. to 205 lbs. from July 2010 to February 2012, keeping my bf under 10% for essentially the whole time (minus one month when working out had to be put on standby due to school/work). I'm currently trying to get back to running, which means losing weight. Ideally I'll be about 185 at 5-6% bf in October/November for a couple of races I want to do.
I've worked in a gym for 2+ years, and I am fairly in-touch with the supplement industry if anybody has any questions about that sort of thing :P For those of you trying to lose weight...never EVER stress about the numbers, especially those on the scale. Weigh yourself once every 7-10 days at roughly the same time, wearing the same clothes, eating similarly the night before, etc. Weighing yourself every day is always just an exercise in frustration, because the body is incredibly prone to fluctuation on a daily basis (I can vary as much as 8 pounds, just from water weight/timing of meals). One of the big things that has helped me stay lean...Every night at supper, I only eat one plate. If I'm quite hungry, I put a big more on. If I'm not so hungry, I put a bit less on. Regardless of the amount, I only ever eat one plate of food. Going back for seconds can easily turn into far more calories than originally intended. Also, drink water. Lots of water. I started drinking at least a gallon/day 3 years ago, and I never looked back. You feel absolutely incredible. Just keep things simple until they become routine. If you go in focused on the numbers (at least 95% of people I've worked with), you will almost always get frustrated/overwhelmed. Tweak your breakfast for a week, then change a snack, then a lunch, etc. Just a change or two every 5-7 days will make the whole process much more bearable. You can't ever think of it as a diet...you have to adopt a new lifestyle. And if you ever have an uncontrollable craving for a cheeseburger...go have one! Cravings = your body telling you that you need something in that food (whether it be more fat, protein, whatever). Just be reasonable about it and don't go for the 4-patty stacker lol. /general fitness rant. |
