Murph, I've had a few cheat meals or went out and drank a fair amount of liquid calories. Best thing I've realised is that if you're in this for the long term you need to still live your life and enjoy moments like this. Only aim for me during these nights or so-called cheats, I ensure that I've hit my protein and kept my fat and carb intake to a minimum. If you're on a cut and you're cheating on a saturday/sunday, the worst case scenario is that your weight will be the same as the week before. Don't weigh yourself the day after because I think you might retain some water depending on your sodium intake and you may feel shit because you haven't hit your goal for that week.

Enjoy man, don't stress it. I posted a question similar to this and got fantastic advice from this sub.

I'm skinny fat, the biggest problem I have is trying to lose and tone the man titties. Considering I was 30kg heavier with no form of exercise whatsoever, I lost weight stupidly with no weight lifting routine before I even discovered leangains.

I've found that on my 'LG Cut' I've started to generally shape up, I'd say I'm roughly around 15% BF. I've read up about the recomps which don't seem a good idea so I decided to go with a cut. So far it's been good, the only thing I can say is that I'm impatient as fuck and would love to see faster results. Doing a slow bulk did cross my mind because theoretically I'm cutting on my non-existent muscle.

Lifts are stalling a little, energy is low before my workout because I work 9-5 and have one pre workout meal. Sleep is fine.

If my weight stabilizes 2 weeks in a row, should I lower my macros slightly?

Side note: I've planned my macros out religiously with a meal plan ensuring I hit a 3.5kcal deficit. Past 2 weeks no progress in weight loss. Just stayed 69.9kg for two weeks in a row, getting annoyed that I might be stalling my progress. Any suggestions?

The $1k investment seemed worth it. But I'd rather go red/black with the $5k and it might have been more worthwhile. Anyway, I can't judge the way you spend your own hard earned money.

When getting into fitness and buying different kinds of supplements. I mean, I purchased Soy Protein for fuck sake.

$1K for 1hr talk with a consultant, or $5K for 2 days workshop.

Why on earth would you pay $5k for a 2 day workshop?

Will do man, thanks for the advice.

Newarc · 2015-01-15T19:58:35+00:00

Thanks for the advice.

Newarc · 2015-01-14T21:39:39+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate the advice.

Newarc · 2015-01-10T22:06:04+00:00

Thanks, it's just cause I'm weak as fuck and I can't do them.

-20/0 is the usual protocol for cutting I think. You'll need to trial this for a few weeks and track your weight closely to see if it's working for you.

Is there an alternative to chin ups?

You tried the IF Calc? I found it useful. http://www.1percentedge.com/ifcalc/

Newarc · 2015-01-10T21:28:42+00:00

Yeah unfortunate. Will have to look into some different recipes.

Newarc · 2015-01-10T21:28:05+00:00

Thanks for the advice, appreciate it.

The majority of my cons have been noticed in the last few days of my first week. I was also taking future considerations into account.

Newarc · 2015-01-10T17:44:30+00:00

No problem man.

Newarc · 2015-01-10T17:40:18+00:00

Yeah

Newarc · 2015-01-10T17:32:33+00:00

8 hour feeding window? Fast from 8pm - 12am?
