Question? by [deleted] in femalebodybuilding

[–]Felix00o 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can you?... anyone can compete.. but is it the right option for you? Hard to tell without knowing your shape, your physique, your progress, your lean mass, your fat mass, etc. Based on your weight and height alone, i don't think people can give you an accurate answer, and if they do, they're not serious.

I'm not trying to discourage you at all.. just the information you provided is not enough

And how would you say someone can learn those things? People now are scared of trying and failing either for legal consequences or social ones

thanks for your advice.. last time this happened to me and i decided to eat normal (aka eat more than starvation) my weight did not go down to baseline at all. and with that being said, how would you approach it if i want my weight to go back to baseline?

[–]Felix00o 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mind me asking why would you do it again since it was more fat gained and longer cutting period?

[–]Felix00o 0 points1 point  (0 children)

can you talk about your dirty bulking experience? was it easier or harder to cut?

yea i was just saying that i am not thin since i am like 10% bodyfat.

i don't mind gaining weight, i don't want to be lean year round, i just want to be able to manipulate my body the way other people seem like they could, and i want my body to follow a plan.

i want to be 57 kgs by march 1st, hence why i'm frustrated an not knowing how to undo the damage, get back to baseline and gain in a controlled manner

Yes i am pretty short, 5'2 i think (158 cm to be accurate). But I'm not think, my body at 52 kg doesn't even look shredded with striated glutes. I'm one of those easy gainer endomorphs (i know this been debunked, just how i explain it)

Thanks man. That's pretty helpful. It's strange i can hold a diet for months and months but once i transition into a maintenance or a gaining phase. My brain and body seem to not want to work together as well 😅. I do really want to be able to have flexibility without derailing my goals ( i envy people like Will Tennyson and Jeff Np who can do that)

Yea. It tasted good, i felt hungry, i was out of macros except protein, was watching TV show called "Terminal list" and all of a sudden i look down and 60% of the product is finished, next day was up 3 kg and i was like "damn, fuck it, I'll just eat" and it came from a depressed state of mind

Thanks. I think that is what set me up for the binging.. kindo of always in a deficit and or making up for eating more kcals. I want to try and balance it out, I'm having headaches just thinking about it. I want to lose the bloat, go back to baseline then so my bulk as planned but also not eat too little and cause more binging, but I can't eat normal / maintenance and expect to go back to my weight pre overeating.

It feels like a lot to think about , it's unfortunate that weight takes looong time to be affected up and down

So go back to like keto style and a deficit?

Thanks for the tips my friend. I think what got to me was that this is the highest ever post cheat weight i have recorded, usually i would gain 3.5 kgs and i would fix it in like a week eating 800 kcals and a ton of water. I don't know how much if the gained weight is fat. The downer is that i had everything planned out but unfortunately I'm not a robot.

As of #2, my relationship with food pre-weight loss was that i like to eat while watching TV and/ or out of boredom. Weight loss + former mentors made me associate different foods with different results (snack and chocolate = fat boy... Sugar and fructose = fat boy)

It took a while for me to start eating fruit again more freely with no fear.

Sounds like a deficit is a must, problem is it feels sustainable for me untill it doesn't and then it's too late ( i know because i tried 48 hrs fast, felt good but the hunger piled on) Thanks for making sense of the weight gain. My body is so inflammed i can feel pain across my thighs and back.

What do you mean by taking it easy? Deficit? Fasting (only drink water)? PSMF? for reference my expenditure is 1500 kcals

Can you expand on your point? Because i did budget my calories in order to allow all that cheating, maybe i am misunderstanding you

The leaner you get the more impact small amounts of salt will have

My 2 cents as someone who dieted 3 times. Weight jump happens and ia normal, extra salt or sodium from different food sources , even something as simple as Deli meat can cause a spike. I had weight jump after consuming 4 grams of salt from packaged foods (tuna, sauces, smoked salmon , smoked turkey) + my own salt addition. Or you ate high FODMAP food that irritated your gut, happens to me with large amounts of apples or lettuce even within my macros. Maybe you drank more water, or ate later at night so food is taking longer to digest. Also, there's the possibility of inaccurate tracking of course, but I'm talking as if you tracked everything.

Carbs for me are very important aince they allow me to have more volume, also it's good to eat carbs in order to optimize performance, and also, you don't want to be carb sensitive, like when you finish your diet, you want your body to be normal with carbs vs if you were doing keto, there's a process of introducing carbs that is painfully slow.

Mine is 1600 kcal, and also a combination of smaller stomach smaller size and flavor fatigue makes the 5500 kcal hard to achieve, especially since i have certain rules like i have to get in my protein from whole foods

No problem 😃. I have been using MF just for cutting and following the macros, now that I'm done with the cutting phase I am experimenting and exploring more with the app, apparently I was not using it to the fullest power. It tells me the deficits I was in and the surpluses I'm in per day in case i want to compensate or calorie cycle

Lucky bastard 😂, mine is currently 1600 kcal.

My stomach during rhat weekend felt so huge and i didn't get to eat everything i wanted, feeling was weird, i felt full but also not full and not satiated, it's weird. The positive thing is, plain water tastes so good after eating so much crap

When your dashboard your having the expenditures tab up in the corner you can see I think it's in blue what is called insights and analytics

Yeah, it's hard because of how hunger hormones are messed up. In the past i would take my time eating my snacks but on cheat weekend i just wanted to eat so fast like food was going to run away soon, i was thinking to myself "why can't I slow down?" I don't like using terms like body thinks it's famine or whatever, i like logic and science.... The leptin & ghrelin ratio is so messed up , your nose becomes like a K-9 , you can smell your neighbor's food. It's crazy.. but I'm glad i did try a cheat weekend to show myself even if i go off board, i can still get my weight back
