    Diet advise

    You're most likely gaining weight because you are starving I would say... 1800 is far too little. You may be able to continue losing fat and maintain muscle while taking epi because of the anabolic effect, but once that halts, you will most likely see fat gains imho

    do you guys relate to this?

    Doing IF I always get people to comment on my meals... Where I live we often go to a "pay by the lb" buffet. I am always hitting 2 - 2.5lbs on my plate and everyone else is sub 1lb. In the end of the day, all it matters is how you feel and what the mirror tells you. You can´t go by "regular"...

    Why do people do cardio?

    There are still health benefits to your heart and cardiovascular activity on an overall note, but for weight loss that is correct, not a must do (unless we are talking about sub 8% BF)

    Why do people do cardio?

    Well, 1 hour LISS can roughly be replaced by subtracting about 400 calories of your daily consumption too for a result. I wouldn't suggest 3-4 sets of 5 exercises per se with 12-15 reps as I personally don't feel like that's a good rep range, but if you are pushing yourself with weight training...

    Why do people do cardio?

    More muscles will lead to more lean body mass which will in turn raise your maintenance calories, burning more for you over time and allowing for a better overall nutritional number. Cardio will mostly just burn X amount of calories while you're doing the exercise, not as many lasting effects...

    The Lean Gains / IF learning and Discussion Log

    If you are working out, lifting and whatnot in the morning, I would highly suggest having a large meal right after and use that as the start for your feed window, as it is the time of the day you will be needing the most nutrients and it will be the time you are least likely to put on fat.

    Best Ways To Prevent/Cure a Hangover?!!?!?

    Nothing in particular before, but I always make sure to have something after; usually coconut milk with whey protein and bcaas.

    Why do people do cardio?

    Pretty standard, you will lose a lot more with a good round of weights than you would Cardio, all we are saying is that Cardio still has some health benefits to it, even if it won't be so crucial to weight loss itself.

    I haven't seen any stallone or JCVD movies on working out; any other titles out there?

    Cant seem to lose body fat!

    I would recommend anyone against going to brown rice... it won't necessarily help anyone shed weight. It's all about the macronutrients in your diet and what your caloric goals are at the end of the day. If you are able to maintain yourself in that range and in a deficit, you will lose wieght...

    How many carbs a day to help get cut

    No set numbers, there is a multitude of programs you can run. It all boils down to calories and what fits best your lifestyle. 6 small meals a day, 3 meals a day, big meal right after workout, low fat, low carbs, it all works as long as you are able to reach your macro and caloric goal. Look...

    The Lean Gains / IF learning and Discussion Log

    How necessary are the BCAAs? I've trained completely fasted for quite a while and haven't seen much issues on the strength department; any particular reason? Muscle breakdown I would think should be fine with the post workout meal, no?

    Cant seem to lose body fat!

    If you account for the calories that go along with the egg, yes. Also, keto, carb cycling, ckd, carb backloading, etc are all diets that can lead to good fat loss and a good cut. My personal best results came from high fat diet, it's all about macros and meal timing.

    Strong or

    No real need to isolate small muscles unless you are working toward competing and really going for a specific goal. Chin ups are probably the best exercise for adding biceps size, for instance. And if you are starting out, there is absolutely no need to focus on smaller muscles per se, they...

    Martial Arts? What am i missing

    Agree with a lot you have said but disagree with the Judo / Jiu Jitsu approach. Have done both and they have very different end goals and things they try to accomplish. Higher end Jiu Jitsu is about staying on the ground and catching your opponent whereas Judo is more on the art of taking the...

    Martial Arts? What am i missing

    I boxe 4x a week for the workout, stress relief and cardio I don't want to shoot myself while doing it. It is just a fun way to exercise, is what most people see when they take on martial arts. Better than a spinning class, zumba or just running on a treadmill 45 minutes a day. It won't get...

    Fats are good for you, help increase testosterone and therefore cut better.
