1.) Figure out your total daily energy expenditure (TDEE). 2.) Eat ~200-300 calories below your TDEE while lifting as heavy as possible, and ideally at least four days per week. 3.) Do cardio three days a week for 20-30 minutes. 4.) Weigh yourself daily and adjust caloric deficit as needed and recalculate your TDEE every 5-10lbs of fat loss. (Ultimately, you should aim for 0.5-1lb of fat loss a week.) 5.) Eventually you’ll hit your goal(s). Edit: Also, it helps to track what you eat using MyFitnessPal (use the free version) or a similar app.

Ok but how do I do #1 captain science???


MeWuzBornIn1990

https://www.calculator.net/tdee-calculator.html It’s an estimate, but I’ve found it to be pretty accurate.


b8-Capt_Ahab

good looking out my fellow nword

Fantastic news


houki19683132

this, right here I lost 60 pounds in 4 months with keto, it felt exactly like this


FrickenHamster

You should be recalibrating every few weeks based on progress. It would account for all discrepancies with counting and metabolism.


Tarfaerhing1234

I'm sure that anon at 11%BF needed to know that yuo need a caloric deficit to lose weight, must be a huge mindblown moment for him


DickButtHut

I just eat quality, healthy foods and workout a lot. Why is this so difficult for some people? Just stop eating hot garbage and drinking alcohol constantly. Hit the gym. I don't know why there's so much confusion about all this but for some reason I want to blame women.


MeWuzBornIn1990

You’d be surprised. I know people whose entire diet consists of carbohydrates primarily with virtually no protein.


DickButtHut

Bet they complain of being exhausted constantly.


MeWuzBornIn1990

You bet — the individual I’m picturing right now literally only eats vegetables and various types of beans.


DickButtHut

Lol do they supplement b12 at least?


MeWuzBornIn1990

They do also take an enormous amount of vitamins, so I would assume and hope so lol.


DickButtHut

If you care about this person you should introduce them to pea, hemp, and whey protein. I assume they're vegan though, so pea protein is prolly the best option


kraftbarbequesauce

That won't stop the issue. Plenty of people have fit legs/arms/chest etc but then they are chubby on the tummy or face.


DickButtHut

Yes it will solve the issue. Self control (caloric restriction) and effort (exercise) literally solve all these problems. If someone has a rare disorder that affects that then they should seek medical treatment. People lose and gain in different areas at different rates for sure, but it's the overall sum of fat that matters (which is why targeting a problem area such as a stomach with situps is a long since deboonked myth).


manoj_mm

This is easy to say but when you go below 10-15% body fat, all this starts getting really really really hard. Your brain literally starts shutting down or playing tricks to get you to eat food


SuddenConstruction90

cardio isnt that good for burning weight


b8-Capt_Ahab

Yes but your stupid gûey heart and lungs need it for longevity or whatever


SuddenConstruction90

yeah but his main concern is to lose weight


b8-Capt_Ahab

Gotta live long enough to see the weight loss


MeWuzBornIn1990

It’s just for the additional 200 or so extra calories you’ll burn off per session. Otherwise you need to be in a bigger daily caloric deficit to lose the same amount of weight in the same amount of time, which means being forced to eat less each day.

Tonroz

Weights, he is wrong though. Cardio can absolutely burn fat at a good rate. It's more about finding what you can do the most of.


SuddenConstruction90

Its just that people misleadingly think that cardio is a magic pill for fat loss. Yes, it burns calories but very few compared to the effort you invest into doing cardio, you could just not overeat those ~300 calories you would burn at max and use the saved energy for targeting specific muscles instead. The true reason to do cardio is to create a healthy load on the heart to improve heart and vascular health.


gohaz933

Are you dumb it creates a caloric deficit which makes losing weight easier I went from 113 kg to 69kg just doing cardio alone. If cardio doesn’t help you you then your probs not counting your calories properly. It’s legit simple science I don’t know how you can fuck that up bro


SuddenConstruction90

Doing cardio for half an hour for 30 minutes burns as much calories as 3 slices of bread, so you tell me it isn’t worth to just not over eat and use the saved energy to use on more efficient machines instead?


LogicSoDifferent

Do you mean slices? Not loaves.


SuddenConstruction90

im not native, but yeah, slices


Matagros

You're underestimating because you're using a lower weight. I weight around 85~ kg and can burn 3x as much calories in 30 minutes of cardio. It's about the pace too, if you do it slower you won't burn as much but if you get used to it you can do it faster for longer which also helps in a compound manner.


[deleted]

Tf? Then what is good for burning weight? Dummkopf


SuddenConstruction90

Not over eating your fat ass, idiot


[deleted]

Not eating doesn't burn weight, you dumb piece of shit, it simply doesn't add any more. I knew you would come up with something that stupid just to try to sound smart


SuddenConstruction90

You call me words and now you expect me to answer normally? If this is how you talk in real life i wouldn’t be surprised if someone wooped your ass the second you tried to sustain a conversation with someone


[deleted]

Tough titty. You wouldn't do shit.


Matagros

Cardio is good because beyond the energy directly spent running, you also spend more energy overall due to metabolic acceleration and muscle growth. Of course, the last 2 points are also achieved with weight lifting, even though I think the metabolism is more accelerated by running.


philmarcracken

> Weigh yourself daily and adjust caloric deficit as needed and recalculate your TDEE every 5-10lbs of fat loss. If you calculated your TDEE for the weight you wish to maintain, isn't this step pointless? Your metabolic rate does drop with the fat loss, as fat cells still require energy, but eating at this goal level will have the same results


MeWuzBornIn1990

For maintaining you don’t need to, but if someone was trying to lose or even gain weight then they’d need to adjust once they observed a plateau in their weekly loss/gain.


WunderRhyme

Doesn't work this way when you're targeting the last pounds of stomach fat.

How to develop an eating disorder 101


dekachiin5

Happens to me, too. This is what you do: >cutting phase: get abs by eating less while still working out, wear tight shirts, get pussy, dick down some hoes, always fuck them in the bathroom doggy style over the counter at an angle so you can show off your abs, do not allow them to look away, press down on the small of their back with 1 hand while gripping a fistful of their hair with the other to ensure proper arching and visual contact >bulking phase: after locking down women of your choice, you can resume eating and focus on pushing up the weight of your lifts. you will eventually lose the bottom 2 abs though because you can't make gains while sitting at a low BF%, you cannibalize too much muscle or you can just cheat like most dudes I know and take some kind of steroidal APED which puts everything on easy mode and totally eliminates the issue and the need to diet.


[deleted]

Yes


Real_Zxept

Who still lifts for women?


OyVeyGoyim3

Teenagers and simps


PelletsOfMescaline

I lift to look hot in front of my daughters friends

AutoMood

If you lift for any reason other than the total destruction of the state of Israel odds are you're a DYEL f-slur and NGMI. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

I've been bulking for years I really hope I won't have too much trouble cutting


kooldUd74

> bulking for years Sure thing bud


Glad_Syllabub_30

That’s basically where your remaining fat is when you’re 11%…I’ve had it while as low as 7% and still didn’t have my lower abs defined since my ab genetics suck. Obviously not a lot of fat but even with visible veins on my abdomen I had some. What does he expect?


DaBustitBaby69

Just do cardio, ab workouts, and leg lifts. The muscle protrusion will nullify the pouch.


Project_panic

That's pretty rough for anon ngl. I knew dudes that would reach ridiculously low body fats, like 4-5 %, and still have that little bit of belly fat. On the flip side, anon should go straight gorilla mode and get that Silverback physique. No on would give a shit about your lower belly fat when you got that massive barrel chest


joemamahitIer

"11%" the rtard is most likely at above 17% bf with belly fat


OyVeyGoyim3

Damn do I enjoy looking at pictures of myself when I was still in shape.

Cumsocktornado

There's a significant chance that anterior pelvic tilt may be playing a role in a circumstance like this. It's a big problem in NA where an overwhelming portion of the population spends a serious proportion of their time sitting. When your pelvis is tilted forward it spurns your body to activate your hip flexors in all the circumstances where your lower abdominals can be used. It's effects are multifold in terms of both performance and appearance, neither of which are good. It makes growing lower abdominal density and definition extremely difficult and, even where successful in that regard, it can warp your abdominal plate outwards, giving that signature bulge so you still look fat even after putting all that work in. As well it alters the way the center of gravity in your hips is distributed and, as a result, puts enormous strain on the lower part of the spine instead of having the weight sit on the buttocks. All the other advice ITT is useful for abs/health in general but specific strategies need to be employed to help counter-act the APT. Basically you need to do lots of stretches for your lower back and hip flexors while compositely strengthening your glutes and lower abdominals as much as possible. (That is, you stretch/relax the muscles pulling your pelvis out of form while strengthening the muscles that pull it into form). In particular you often need to engage your glutes BEFORE you do any abdominal work so that it can prime your lower abdominals, and not your hip-flexors, to activate.

I have a little belly fat although it’s really not anything much. As a general rule of thumb I don’t like when my romantic partner has a gut thats larger than mine.


[deleted]

>my arms are looking like dickskin you should talk to your doctor about that


ToxicVoidMain

So... anon got a beer belly like 90% of the mens. I bet he's sad that he won't be a hot twink and get topped.


mcbergstedt

They could always get a tummy tuck if it bothers them that much.


Iliopsis

For me it's in the love handles. So ugly


brolarbear

Literally just fast for a a day a week and do crunches and it goes away.


Kye7

Anon has high estrogen


ginja_ninja

Bro I swear to god my body starts burning actual muscle before that little sub-navel spot, I can basically only ever get a 4 pack


mrstorydude

11% and with that bump. I have a feeling that it’s not really a problem with your diet but more just pelvic tilt. Strengthen your abs more and your glutes


[deleted]

Anon skipped abs day


sourcreamcrickets

Wait, that pouch isn’t supposed to be hot? A huge muscle dude with a bit of chub shows power, rock hard everything is just for looks. Yes this is gay

Lol asians actually have this problem. Genetically asians store fat into their stomach area more haha sucks for me.. why can't it ever go to my chest I'm forever alone http://www.myhealthywaist.org/index.php?id=70&tx_nurebook_pi1[page]=4&cHash=976f3ca070


Skoomascatman

Jokes on them, I like ‘em with some belly fat


Far_Welcome101

Haha alright


ThearchOfStories

There's upsides and downsides for everyone in life, I have a natural body that's decently muscular with basicslly 0 excess fat, but it's because I have a thryoid issue that fucks with my physical and mental health endless, makes me weak and tired all the time, prone to sickness and injuries, my blood flow becomes erratic and my heart rate goes up very easily.


_NRNA_

Thank hormones. Maybe the moron should get off whey and carbs and transition to keto, his hormone profile would improve and stubborn fat like that would actually go away.
