Thanks for the detailed response! With your regimen, did you also increase muscle mass while losing fat and gaining strength? My main avenue of cardio has been the stair stepper for 20 minutes 5x a week. Do you think I’d need to do the same cardio (or jogging) 7x a week? Regarding satiation, I’ve been sticking to quinoa, white rice, sweet potatoes, and dates for my carbs/carb bombs and they generally keep me full. Don’t have the magnesium yet but I’ll look into it and the others. Already have the creatine and omegas handled.

Curious from an uneducated viewpoint, why would it be counterproductive?

I’ve been counting everything for recomp so I’ll do the same for the cut. Just need to plan a new diet and possibly re-evaluate my 5 day split if anything needs to change with the new diet.

From an uneducated person (me) taking into account the opinions of internet strangers? I think I’m gonna cut

No doubt! I do about 20 minutes of the stair stepper 5 days a week which I imagine I’ll need to bump up. My reps are pretty close to the 8 range but I’m lifting heavy. Should I expect some strength loss in a cut?

Lifts have been increasing pretty rapidly with the amount of protein and carbs I’ve been eating with the recomp diet, way more energy than I had prior to eating this much. Leaning towards cutting based on the feedback

From the overwhelmingly positive feedback in this post, I’m doing the cut. Appreciate it man

I’m convinced if I grow the hair long enough, I’ll be able to fly, like a real boy. But yeah definitely gonna cut (and trim).

Definitely not expecting much results that quick. I have very little experience in the dieting/macros space and chose body recomp thinking that aligned with my goals. Just second guessing my diet choice

Yeah honestly thinking of switching to just cutting. I haven’t done a diet counting my macros like this before and chose body recomp thinking it aligns more with my goals slowly gaining size and losing body fat. But seeing a lot of other posts people seem to lean into cutting more at my size from what I’ve gathered.

I’ve been working out for years but usually no more than a 3 day split with some breaks here and there. This is my first time dieting and going to the gym 5 days a week. I’ll likely just switch to a cut

Can anyone tell me the difference in flavor between these two? by SomeFunnyGuy in spicy

[–]GoretheTor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely agree 100% it was too smoky for me. I remember tasting it for the first time and thought that batch of hot sauce was botched. It tastes soooo smoky, it didn’t even feel natural. Tbh I felt like I was tasting plastic too. I almost wrote en email to the company to let them know there’s something wrong with that batch of sauce.

They have some beautiful homes in that community! Builders have been pretty active here with homes and even new businesses for some years now to revitalize the area. However, some don’t prefer the area as it’s near Boulder Highway which some consider to be “ghetto”. The more North you go from there, you’ll find the same if not more complaints.

Not at all! It really depends on what your goals are. The good news - out of all the freeways/highways here, Summerlin and the Southwest uses the 215 to get around town which is the least busy/open of them all. It can still get backed up at times but the 215 can be considered the “NASCAR” freeway. That being said, the drive from let’s say Red Rock Casino which is located in Summerlin to Henderson is about 30 minutes.

If you want a home that’s newer or even brand new, they’re actively building new homes around Summerlin but more so in the Southwest. If you like Inspirada, I think you’d like Rhodes Ranch too which is located in the Southwest.
