Who is the most experienced leanmaxxer on this site?

[UnderTheKnife]

I need to read his threads. Can't keep delaying leanmaxxing anymore, but also don't wanna do something that's a waste of time, and possibly unhealthy.

What does unhealthy mean pussy

Maintaining decent muscle mass while declining bodyfat I'm assuming.

Not doing something stupid like starving yourself to death.

You don't need a Leanmaxxing Guide bro smh.

It's math. Eat healthy foods that you don't hate. Get your Macros right (low Carb, high protein) & Micronutrients right.

Eat in a caloric deficit of 500 cals per day. Be consistent...etc

Yup bro.
But need more specifics to optimize the process, like:
- how to maintain muscle, or at least minimize loss
- do stuff like intermittent fasting help, or it's just a myth?
- etc.

Starving yourself maybe or like forcing yourself to throw up

Intermittent fasting does help but I don't do it, I just count calories.

- 8 sets per muscle group per week (all to failure, 8-15 rep range)
- high volume foods (fruits, salads, etc)
- 1g per lb or 2.2g per kg of protein
- 0.3g per lb or 0.66g per kg of fats
- everything else should be carbs
- utilize low calorie sauces for meats and dressings for salads
- drink a diet soda you enjoy (preferably caffeine free)
- start at 300 calorie deficit daily with 300 calories of cardio 5x per week (roughly 4 miles walking)
- reduce calories by 250 when your weight stalls for more than a week
- walking should be your main source of cardio, jogging if low on time
- track steps and have a step goal (7k+ daily steps)

Steroids, cardio, lots of protein

- how to maintain muscle, or at least minimize loss

high protein diet with a small calorie deficit = won't maintain all of the muscle but will defo minimize the loss

Great advice

Prob me tbh. Lost 50lbs in 6 months

NEW QUESTION:
Is there a way to know whether your cheek chubbiness is actually due to fat deposits or whether it could be sagging skin?

 

[bignosesmallchin]

I went from around 190-200lbs all the way down to 130lbs in 5 months, all I did was stop eating as much, stopped drinking soda, did some embarrassing barbell/dumbell workouts + pushups in my room 20mins a day. Had a crazy glowup, trucel to strong MTN, descended since then but am still skinny. I have a normal appetite now too, I used to eat a whole large pizza in one sitting, now I can't even think of doing that. People say losing that much weight in a short time period is unhealthy but in my personal experience it wasn't, I felt amazing when I hit 130 and was way stronger even tho I weighed close to half as much

Depends on if you're recessed or not.

Do what @golfgod69 said.

Only worry about maintaining muscle if u have a lot to begin.

If u wanna maintain it hitting ur protein goal and lift weights 2-3 tim3s a week (strength or hypertrophy, doesn't matter).

Intermittent fasting is legit for health, but in terms of weightloss doesn't give thar much more benefit on top of correct macros and deficit, plus it can get practically impossible if u do the maths and need to intake something like 200g of protein a day, cos u can't take in that much, and absorb it, in such a small window. Better idea would be do a 24hr full fast every 10-15 days

Not at all. But I did a very bad starvation mistake in the past (losing like 30 lbs in two weeks), and I'm concerned it has caused sagging skin damage to me...

Intermittent Fasting is fantastic for life in general.

Eat less food and burn more calories and do that until you reach 10%. It’s not hard

 

[Crustaciouse_]

Do rolling fasts boyo.
Eat 1 day, then don't eat the next day, then eat, then don't. Simple.
If you want to maximize results you can do 2 or 3 day rolling fasts.
Ear one day, don't eat for 2, repeat
