Where can I get FitDay? And did you have to pay for it?

Even at a weight of 235 - 240 and averaging about 2500 to 2700 calories a day, I still wasn't losing fat. Everybody is different (and I am 40 years old), but even with an average caloric deficit of about 800 - 1000 calories a day I wasn't getting results.



Just for your reference at 40 yrs and 240lbs

Your Basal (basic resting life support) Metabolic rate is about 2000 cal per day

Add in an moderate active to active lifestyle it would be about 2,700 to 3,000 total.

So your average of 2500-2700 was not very far below your requirements for break even, if at all. Certianly not 1,000 below.

Now you are averaging about 1,800 per day which would be about 1,000 per day or about 7,000 per week.

At 3,500 per pound 7,000 a week would be about 2 lbs per week which is almost exactly what you did. A little fast, but not too bad for a short period. Extend this for several more weeks without a break and I'll bet you see more LBM go away.

There are many calorie requirement calculators on the internet that let you plug in your personal info.

I've thought about doing a pulse diet like that before, just never actually did it. Nice to see such solid results from it! I'll keep that in mind.

You could try the eat stop eat protocol....ie one or two 24 hours fasts a week - works well.

I've never before mentioned eat stop eat! But even if I had I'm curious to hear your thoughts on why you think I may be a shill. The product I'm selling for a commercial gain is.....?

How to do handle training? Surely you must have a light meal before training?

Never eat before training

Some coffee or a pre workout with my supplements and I'm good to go

I also do it keto style right now since I'm dieting

Cals are still highish

But it makes sure I get 3 doses f my burners in before my meal I'm literally a furnace all day and night

I think daily calories become even more important if doing this. I remember trying fasted training and not eating for a good 4-5 hours afterwards whilst on a massive calorie deficit and I screwed up my metabolism and some extent my endocrine system. I had to take a good 3 months off from the gym to receover properly.
