Best diet to shred fat quickly

[Whacked]

I like Lean Gains but hate keto

Opposite here ....thusly substantiating your point below

To be honest there is no best diet. You need to find what works well for you. Besides the fact we are different and different diets work for different people.

I thought it was all about calories in vs calories out for the most part?

[Whacked]

For the general population, it can be.

For bb'ers attempting to preserve muscle and strip fat, macro's are everything. So, manipulation of insulin, leptin, glucagon, and cortisol release and amongst several others are all significant here.

Sub 10% and as you get sub 8% more and more is needed. It gets more difficult and tricky. Going from 30% - 20% (not implying you) cals in vs out will work wonders.

Your body wants to have some fat. To get really low is when you need to get fancy. People around here like to come out the gate with the aggressive approach. I would save keto to get that last 1% not use it the whole way. We are all different. Leto diets are not wrong, I can not sustain long term personally. I eat moderate carbs following a modified Lean Gains I made up myself years before lean gains started. Or atleast years before I ever heard the term. Made me feel smart to know everyone started using a modified version of my diet I did what I noticed worked well for me.

IMO start simple so when you stall you still have plenty to change, plenty of tricks left to use, and it's mentally easier to stick with a program long term if you ease into it. I see people start to diet 100% and quit 2 weeks later because change takes to long and the dedication was to much.

Oh ok that sounds good. Since I have no way to heat things up besides a sandwich or wrap what are done good idea for a lunch?

Nuts. Jerkies (beef/Turkey/dead animal). Dried meats were invented to stop them from spoiling without refrigeration, i.e. while on a ship. Perfect low carb lunch for me was always some good Salami with a little laughing cow cheese spread, and an apple or celery with peanut butter. Just watch the sodium on those meats or for the rest of the day.

Exactly. It doesn't look like anyone could look at our avatars and claim either diet ineffective for cutting.

I've packed all meats veggies, fruits, in my bag cooked for years, never had a problem getting sick, some times it will go all day in my bag and I'll eat it half way through the next day, don't know why people think foods spoil so fast,
granted fresh really is best, the nutrients prob do start to break down but really, I've been doing this for years, now I'm not in heat so if that's a factor I could understand but it works for me, I even eat everything cold, a chicken breast on a fork! It is what it is, I don't have the luxury of heating stuff up. Don't let any thing stop you, just think animal!!!!

I toss cut up grilled chicken mixed with broccoli in my lunch box in the morning n eat it cold at work for lunch not a prob.. Bring mustard packets cuz sometimes chicken lil dry.. But it taste good.

I get best results carb cycling and lean gains with only real food (completely unprocessed).

[Tomahawk88]

Carb back loading for me. Fat hasnt been falling off as fast as when I started. Lately my problem has been adding too much muscle. Plus I can see myself doing this for life.

[Gerbil]

As long as it is in your macros. But you want to stay with unprocessed foods.

Yes, but make sure your fiber intake is still in normal ranges.

This here. Both are very strong methods. I prefer carb cycling/keto since I never feel hungry on that diet and I like to eat smaller meals more often.

I prefer IF since I get to gorge for 2 meals a day, and my results have been the same whether I ate cleanly, or ate burger king and ice cream

[Gutterpump]

Man, I gotta give that $h1t a try again! lol

Agreed! I still lost a bit of weight my day after eating Oreos and a cheesesteak. I'm loving it

I am down still even after a bavarian feast including 2lbs of bockwurst.

for a while, my primary carb source was hostess cupcakes.


I do admit that when I thoroughly followed a paleo diet I also lost weight really rapidly. I wasn't trying to at the time, so I ended up reaching a half pound of peanut butter added a day just to hit maintaining
