@devinc277 if your weight is staying the same week after week than that means the calories your taking in equals the calories that are being used. So simply increase your activity a little or slightly decrease your calories or do both and you will now be at a slight caloric deficit. 300-500 calories in that range is perfect.

@Chaaarge thats right. However it would be a good idea to do cardio to keep your heart healthy. but calorie deficit alone would be enough.

FUCK, you really need some protine/health milkshakes/just drinks? I just workout pushups, handweights and stomach muscles!

how do you create a 'small caloric deficit' if you don't know how many calories you are taking in?

Faith804 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)

That's what I did. 2 hours at the gym everyday. 1 hour cardio then, an hour weight training.

Loosing weight is when you body is in a caloric deficit period. But i would suggest doing cardio because it does get your lungs and heart in better shape, and it will make your intense workout sessions like legs alot easier. I also heard it helps flush toxins out of your body by increased blood flow and allows better recovery, but im not positive on that one, but i find it helps me recover way quicker personaly.

if I'm trying to gain muscle and lose weight at the same time, do I really need cardio? the calorie deficit + the intense workout should be enough, right?

Thank you these videos were extremely helpful and informing. I was honestly convinced that i needed to buy whey protein powder to gain a lot of muscle. But i am defininlty going to do it the all natural way

Here is an example... There are some traditional woodcutters in my country (axe) that are simply HUGE. They work all day (arround 12 hours) and they have only two meals. What they eat is mostly dairy (milk, yogurt, cheese), bacon, eggs. And, of course, bread... tons of bread. So, you see, it is not their diet that makes them HUGE, it is those 12 hours of hard work...

I can tell you from my own experience that all that talk about huge protein consumption and 7 meals a day is a complete BULLSHIT. I tried that diet when I was starting and I felt like crap, I had 2 diarheas (if that's how you spell it, english is not my native language) in one month, I felt week and I felt my somach was crying for help. Then I listened to my grandmas advice. Now I eat 3 NORMAL meals a day + some snack, and I feel GREAT and my performance is just getting better and better.
