The secret to cutting?

[gregory]

Possibly, but diet played a huge role in me losing what i did. When i nailed my diet, the weight came off a bit faster...expect maybe, 2-3 lbs a week if everything is in check.

P.S. there are many ways i would think you could rush cutting. Running an extreme fat burner + AAS would yield similar results i would think

Then your cutting was all natty i gather. That's cool but i think you could make it easier on your body and mind. I wonder if fasting is appropriate when cutting.

most of it was natural, until the end when i added clen to get that last bit off.

Thanks for the reply dude. I'm really gathering here that cutting is all about the time test. Bulking is easy but cutting, well that takes some serious patience and balls.

Over the last twelve years two things that are of primary importance;

1. Exercise frequency, you need to workou 5-6 days per week eve if it's just cardio.

2. Meal timing, I've found consuming most of your daily carbs(~80%) during and immediately after your workout helps dramatically. In the past I have always had problems with evening carb cravings and since I perform evening workouts it even helps with compliance!

NO!!!

fasting is not the awnser, it is actually the opposite. Eating is essential, you must eat, it is all about how much you eat, what you eat and when you eat it! Timing is essential, especially when it comes to the meals.

It takes time to be able to shed the FAT you want. alot of the loss at first will just be water, but slowly but surely it will come off!!!

and 10% BF from a 230lb person is around 23lbs of solid fat!! so taking 7 months to shed that is awesome!!!!!

i'm 5'11", my ultimate goal is about 230 at 9% body fat =)

right now i'm about 195 at about 13%.

Mike

awesome goals bro

When I started seriously I was 178 at 6' and about 16%
last I checked (less than a month ago before I went home on R&R) I was 193 at just under 12% and I never really did a cutting phase!

my end goal is 215 at 8%!!!!

good luck on the goals bro, you'll be a monster!!

peace

I'm not talking about fasting all the time, but once every 2 weeks for a day might be a good idea. I've done it in the past and liked the discipline it teaches you. Plus after fasting for one day like a Sunday, when i have the dextrose and protein shake, the muscles explode with hardenss and vascularity.

oh ok, my bad, thought you were tlaking about an extended amount of time. I have heard of people taking one day where you eat little to nothing, and one day where you indulge. to all their own, I like to just keep it balanced all the time, with one cheat meal!

Peace
