I get bloated SO easily

[joe d]

the reason to your orig. post is because you are empty in the morning. not enough food and water left. when you eat or drink in that situation you bloat up. do not do all of these major diet changes. work with what you have and make moderate adjustments as needed.

you may not be able to do what you are trying to do as well as others. look at all of the pro pl'ers some look like slobs others look sort of cut and then some are inbetween. this has verry little to do with their diets and training because they all devote their lives to lifting more weight not staying trim. the reason is genetics. some can do things others cant. dont try to do what someone else is doing. just pick one goal and put all of your efforts toward that (within reason) and as you make progress you will see that your other goals will come easier. trying to do it all at once slows you down a lot.

Cardio is what you need bro if your sick of the bloat effect your metabolism sucks. If i were you i would do cardio, cardio, cadio and lift off and on. Muscle can always grow back after you get down to the right bf percentage and were talking min muscle loss. I run for 2 hours and i dont lose much musle. I do this everyday bro.

i dont know about you man. you seem to be all over the place.

haha iknow i just figured if he was geting bloated all the time maybe doing cardio would increase metabolisum and then the effect of the increase would hence stop the bloat effect.

hmm the thing is before when I didnt used to eat alot of bread of milk, I would still get bloated. And no Im not aiming for 10% bf, right now I just wana get down to 12-13%. Ill find you a pic of what I wana look like. Generally yeah I do wana be big and chunky, but not 20% bf chunky like now. And yeah I am trying to eat clean all the time too. Im on like a clean bulk with cardio, getting my cals in from clean sources but doing cardio too.

heres a pic of sub-zero, I wana be like this:

Lactose is not your only reason your bloating, but it sure isn't helping the cause.

I understand what you are saying about your goals.

While you are eating relatively clean, like you said you are on a bulking diet. You aren't going to drop body fat on the diet you are on.

I've gone from spectrum to spectrum diet wise and in my overall philososphy. If you only take a way one thing I tell you, take away this: get to your desired body fat level first and foremost and stay there. This is the way to go. Your body will thank you and your mind will thank you. Dieting is not fun, it's mentally, psychologically, and physically much more challenging than anything else.

Get to your desired bodyfat, stay there, and then focus on how to stay there while gaining LBM. There is no logical reason that you want to gain fat or be bloated while you are bulking either.

You will be much happier if you diet down to 12% and then focus on gaining mass. If you are around 15% right now, you can bust your ass and be there soon. But if you let things get out of hand and get up to 20%... It's time consuming and not fun to go from 20 to 12. Get to 12 and stay there then lean bulk it.

As far as the bloating. the lactose is complicating your problem.

Drop the lactose, lower the sodium, drink more water, watch the carbs, get your vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes especially balanced. Then you will have no problems with bloating.

Also 4-5 pieces of bread are going to make your stomach expand like the pillsbury dough boy. That's certainly not helping either.

2 hours of cardio everyday is going to make you skinny-fat.

If you want to geek up your metabolism eat every two hours, do some heavy 20 rep squat work, and do some barbell complexes.

eat as many cals as I could, fast food like mcdonalds post workout and dont worry about getting chubbier until Im fully grown. But I cant do that I hate bein chubby man

I'm not really understanding what you want anymore. Here you say you hate being chubby.

But later on you say you want to be big and chunky.

You are at 20% body fat right now. I don't understand why there is any question in your mind about dropping the body fat.

sorry, when I said big and chunky, I meant just that I want to be big, but being low bodyfat isnt a priority, as I said down to about 12%

Right now Im about 18-20% bodyfat yes. You said I wont loose bodyfat doing a clean bulk with cardio, but southern lord and joe d both said that because of my age (15) I would be able to add muscle/strength and loose bodyfat at the same time by doing this...

If you want to geek up your metabolism eat every two hours, do some heavy 20 rep squat work, and do some barbell complexes.

Im doing the barbell complexes after most of my workouts already, so you think I should start doing my squats to 20 reps? Thing is SaiBoT told me doing reps above about 12-15 will permanantly turn muscle fibres to slow twitch? What do you think of that?

So one of the main things people are saying is cut down on the toast with my scrambled eggs, what should I have aswell/instead for my carbs in the morning when Im having eggs?
