Preliminary FAQ

Cutting

Unlike weight loss techniques, cutting does not have a particular Goal weight or Start weight, and is more focused on body fat percentage and general aesthetics.

This is done by reducing the levels of fat storage on your body at the best ratio between fat loss and muscle loss.

This subreddit will focus on different cutting techniques, impressive macro-recipes, progress pics and ways to retain motivation during the cut.

Do you think I can fix this or will need surgery(lipo)?(See images)

I been losing weight, eating right, and exercising. I was 220 lbs and I am now 192 lbs and losing.

My question is even when I was young and less heavier(I think is genetics) I have always had this part of my body like this. Obviously the fatter the worse it looked now that I have lost weight it looks better.

Do you think if I keep at it I can keep reducing the man boob, the side boob? Or I am screw and I will need a lipo or some kid of surgery? I know the skin won't be as tight as before but do you think I can get rid of the bulge on my side and the fat from the pectoral?

I will do an ultrasound on that area to see if is enlarged mamamary gland, fat or gyno. I have went do different doctors and all assure me is far storage and that I don't have gyno. I ask this because I have always hated that part and I considering the lipo there and hopefully won't need to reconstruct some loose skin.

I know we can't spot reduce fat, but any suggestions to try to fix this area would be appreciated. Thanks

Heavily plateaued. How do you all do it?

Hi. Early February I was 220 lbs (5’9”) and 35 percent fat and was able to drop down to 180 with relative ease, now somewhere around 20 percent fat by the start of July with intermittent fasting and counting cals. My goal weight is 160 lbs, not to be shredded necessarily but simply to not be too fat for athletic performance (specifically vertical jump). But despite my best efforts in the past 4 months, I can’t for the life of me approach that weight. As soon as I get near 175, I rebound quick and binge uncontrollably.

A successful day of eating is usually ~2100 calories for me, low sugar but high in protein and fat, but I can very easily erase a week’s worth of progress in just 10 minutes in the pantry. It’s beginning to take a serious toll on my mental health and I’ve began purging despite knowing it’s not sustainable and very unhealthy. I worry I may be bulimic. How is it that so many people are in the 12-15 range? What are some tips you guys have for staying disciplined and focused when the binging urges begin? I feel like I’m losing my mind here; how can it be this difficult just to get to an average healthy athlete’s weight?

Why cant we skip major meals and carbs for 2 days to lose 1kg fat in 2 days?

We know 3500 caloric deficit is essential for 1 kg of fat loss. Usually the maximum recommended deficit is 600 to 700 calories per day , which takes 1 week to lose 1 kg fat. Why cant we just skip main meals and carbs for 2 days and eat more than high protein which easily amounts to around 3000 caloric deficit, 1kg fat loss in just 2 days? There won't be much health consequences if we drastic reduce calories for just 2 or 3 days. I admit this drastic deficit is unhealthy if it is for more than 1 week

Vasectomy and staying Ripped

Has anyone here had a vasectomy and maintained their shred? I have 2 kids right now and I'm having the procedure done this Friday. I'm currently jacked. I'm just worried I will lose it all with this procedure. With that said I don't want any more kids. I would rather lose my shred than have another kid.

Was wondering here if any guys here have had the procedure and had no drop in muscle gains.
