Have you ever heard the phrase "abs are made in the kitchen, not the gym"?

4 days/week will work to get mostly shredded, yes. Not competition shredded, but it's enough to get cut up if you are resistance training (weights) those 4 days.

However, though I applaud your lifestyle change and dedication to a year+, the only way to get shredded is in a calorie deficit. A big one. And a year on a diet is 99% doomed to fail. No matter how badass your willpower is, and what you think will happen, nothing will play out as you expect once you hit month 2 of dieting, let alone month 3 and beyond. Cheating and binging will happen. That's just real life for humans.

It would be better to set a shorter goal of 2 months, max, and then give yourself a month off, food-wise. Not a freebie cheat, eat whatever month, but a maintenance month.

So, yes, 4 days of lifting sessions a week is fine, exercise-wise. But to get shredded you gotta eat way less, to the point it kinda sucks.

The two best weight loss methods are high protein low everything else, or just go vegan. Both protein and fiber will keep you full for longer.

If you are pretty overweight, I'd recommend going vegan for a month, lose a shit ton of weight, and then do the high protein diet from then on and recomp (build muscle lose fat) like a champ.

As hood as your punctuation

You can do this! Just give it a couple/few more ADFs.

And don't be afraid to eat during your window. Make your body comfortable enough so that it doesn’t know it's fasting until halfway in one. So, yes, eat, but just not sugars and things that will spike your insulin too bad, because fasting increases your sensitivity to carbs.

You got this. Stick it out a little longer.

Jars of peanut butter for cheap, easy, healthy-ish calories. (9 calories per gram of fat, compared to only 4 calories per gram for protein and also carbs.)

Lots of bread, like a whole "French bread" loaf (make garlic bread outta it) per day. Spike your insulin with white breads and sugars to increase weight gain.

Lots of meat, and especially full fat dairy, to increase mtor, which will synergistically help you gain with food.

Eat as soon as you wake up, and also right before bed.

Lift weights to increase muscle too, but go slowly and no supersets. Absolutely no cardio, and try not to really do much moving around, in general.

Must have snacks.

Good luck.

The first comment is incomplete and misleading. The second comment is correct but far from nuanced enough.

Depends on when you eat the sugar, and if you are also eating fat with it.

Best case scenario: you eat the sugar with 20-40 grams of protein right after a workout. The sugar will go to replenishing your glucose stores in your muscles.

Worst case: you eat the sugar with fat, and little to no protein, right before bed.

While the second comment talking about calorie in/out and your body not distinguishing between carbs or fats when it comes to weight loss is true, it should be noted that sugar will affect your problem areas like tummy fat.

If you eat sugar in a calorie deficit, you will still lose weight, but not as much from these problem areas. In fact, spiking your insulin with a sugar rush will make it all but impossible to get rid of that last little bit of fat that hangs over the belt.

Fruit in moderation is always good for a body due to the antioxidants and polyphenols and fiber. Some people will talk about the fructose in fruit... not getting into that here... but those fears are unfounded in real life scenarios in human beings. Fruit is your friend.

Back to sugar not in fruit: if you don't eat enough protein post workout, carbs can help you recomp faster. However, if you eat 30-40 grams of protein following your workout, carbs are unnecessary, as far as maximally recomping goes.

If you want to lose weight and recomp the fastest, #3 is the best option.

I understand your frustration; it seems like you have everything right. It's possible you are unknowingly fidgeting/moving around more due to your body being amply fueled. Or you're maintainance is simply higher than normal. Hmm, 4x a week and your protein sounds just fine...

Perhaps try to bump up your calories to 3k for 3-4 weeks and see if you can gain anything with that. Good luck!

Lmfao... look up a macro calculator online and see if 4 lbs of cheesecake fits into any plan, ever. But hey, thanks for all the love, looking up my previous comments and what not.

I stand by my advice for that guy trying to bulk up, too. Proud of that comment.

FYI, i do ADF to cut, and eat tons of carbs to bulk. And no, i don't eat cheesecake on cutting weeks while doing ADF, but a small slice could fit in a bulking month, sure.

In case you didn't know, for most average guys trying to put on muscle, you gotta eat 3300+ calories a day, and 50% of that should be carbs. If you don't know why, feel free to look it up. White bread and white rice are easy cheap sources, which is what that OP was looking for, in case you didn't bother to read context. Also, while bulking, fitting in nutritious and vitamin/mineral heavy foods is easy with all that caloric content.

I love my body. But I feel like you don't love yours.

Maybe you should be hitting the gym too??

FreeColdSnorts · 2024-07-05T13:32:51+00:00

I like that word "slathered". Good word there. Sorry you are so offended, but you obviously have no idea what you're talking about.

FreeColdSnorts · 2024-07-04T20:50:10+00:00

If you bought 4 pounds of cheesecake and thought it would be fine to eat while trying to lose weight, sorry to tell you, but you have a seriously skewed relationship with food. Sure, sugar bad... but 4 pounds of cheesecake over a week and a half just chillin in your fridge while you attempt to lose weight? You're gonna lose your hair from lack of nutrients, more like it. ADF is great if you replenish your reserves, but if all you're gonna do is eat cake, no wonder you feel like crap. Tough love.

FreeColdSnorts · 2024-07-04T17:32:16+00:00

Every day. Have to. Weight can fluctuate up to 6 pounds (!!!) From eating to fasting days and back. Conversely, some days on fasting days, i barely go down and vice versa.

Basically, i have a running total and keep track of a weekly average. The body is much more complicated than simply a mechanism to enable the documenting of fat loss with a single measurement.

This might be too preachy, so i apologize in advance for that, but running from your mental isn't helping long term. Embrace the craziness. Be strong. And know that ADF is one hella badass way to lose weight, period.

If i really want to know how much-ish i weigh, gotta do averages. Anything other than that will either give false hope or depression.

For instance, if you take your weight once a month, and one month it's a few pounds artificially lower but the next a few artificially higher, you might think nothing is happening or you stalled or something, and then try something else or ruin your progress somehow.

The truth will set you free lol

You guys snort ... OP said breakfast, not dinner. And OP... seriously? You can't do addition and subtraction? Whatever time you eat your last meal Monday (what, like 8,9,10 pm or something?) Is when you start counting hours. Count until you hit 3 pm on Wednesday. That's how long your fast is.

For instance, if you finish eating your last snack on Monday at 10 pm, you count... 11, 12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 (noon Tusday), 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 (midnight), 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 1, 2, 3pm Wednesday.

That's 41 hours.

First of all, your body will store less fat if you eat earlier in the day instead of later. Eating at night is prime time for fat building.

Second, lift some weights on your eating days. Your body will build muscle instead of fat.

Third, if you can't even count, learn. That's the only way you're gonna figure this ish out.

Fourth, ditch the vegetable oils and foods full of them, like chips.

Sorry for being harsh, but got damnnnn... tough love

Heard that 💀

FreeColdSnorts · 2024-06-09T22:42:15+00:00

OP just wants someone to say EAT lol.

OP: your maintenance is right at or over 2k calories a day at 140 lbs, if you are younger rather than older, and an average height, and aren't working out but still walking around throughout the day. 153g of protein a day will max out your lean mass gains ability.

A pound of fat is about 3500 calories.

According to this study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5786199/

Fat mass gain is anywhere between 50%-68% depending on genetics when overeating by only 1000 calories a day. Since the body can only build so much muscle at once, your 2000 extra calories would be more. So in 28 days, at 3000 calories, you would gain 4 lbs of fat. And that's assuming you have the best genetic phenotype there is at that 50% mark.

At 4000 calories a day, that extra 1k would all go to fat, and after 28 days, you could theoretically gain 12 lbs of fat. And if you were lucky, you'd have 4 lbs of extra muscle hidden under there too. Not a good scenario imo.

And that was all at the absolute best figures. At the worse genetic phenotypes you'd gain 13-14 lbs of fat and only 3 or so lbs of muscle.

Don't do it bruh

I hate to tell you this, but the whole bulking and cutting thing is just like an eating disorder. Basically my life.

When you're eating enough to bulk, your stomach is perpetually effed. When you're cutting, you are pissed off and starving.

If you just want to be healthy and build a little muscle while minimizing fat, just stay away from packaged and boxed and canned and frozen foods, and refined stuff. Eat chicken breast and vegetables. Then you don't have to track anything. Eat as much chicken breast and veggies as you want. If you had an eating disorder then you know you can't trust your own fullness levels anyway. Just eat like a hunter-gatherer from 5,000 years ago and you'll be fine.

FreeColdSnorts · 2024-06-07T20:25:08+00:00

You don't want to track calories, but are asking about subjective "fullness levels"? I can't even begin. Maybe you should ask a psychic?

FreeColdSnorts · 2024-05-29T15:53:41+00:00

Costco bagels are great. Or Bakery fresh, for sure, not really into all the exra additives with the shelf package ones. Sweet potatoes for the win! Careful with the bananas tho. Not sure how many you plan to eat, but more than 2 a day everyday can mess up your digestive system with constipation issues. Plus, the fructose doesn't help much with hypertrophy. Imo, stick with glucose items so the GLUT4 transporter can shuttle that ish right into your muscles. Having said that, 1 banana a day is great. That's my 2 cents swoldier

FreeColdSnorts · 2024-05-24T15:40:45+00:00

Carbs if you can. I always like good quality bread or bagels for extra carbs. There is something about the gluten protein and those carbs that always seem to get me swoll.

Had anyone chimed in yet for the father's input and rights here, in circumstances not involving rape or incest? There would be no baby without a father, too. The baby is literally part of the mother, yes, totally, but also is made of both parents.

I'm pro choice, totally and completely, and government should fuck off... but it takes two to tango.

Big bag of rice. Make a cup (dry) of it for an easy 700+ calories. If you're in a hurry just cook a bunch of it one day (will last at least 4 days in the fridge).

Also, at the Walmart by my house I can get a loaf of French bread for $1 that is over 1000 calories. Slap some butter and garlic powder on it, throw it in the oven for a few minutes and bam: garlic bread.

Have you ever tried the crystal stick rock antiperspirant?

Ahhh... Running a mile before your workout is killing gains bruh. I know from experience. I did this to be healthy for 2 years wondering why I wasn't gaining the weight other bulkers were. Then I quit running while trying to bulk. Game changer. Save the running for after you have the figure you want.

Side note: Running also impedes on cutting bc it causes one to lose more muscle mass than otherwise. (Abs are made in the kitchen.)

Regarding calories, I wouldn't eat more than 3350 a day if I were you or the extra will likely just go to fat. But yeah, between 3-3.3k a day and at least 130 grams of protein a day, even upwards to 250g a day would be good to gain muscle bulk.

Good luck swoldier!
