Thinking about killing myself.

i'm not eating any worse than i was before starting to work out so that's why im discouraged

- set goal weekly weight loss. I recommend about half a pound per week if you're already in pretty good shape and trying to lean out while maximally preserving muscle; a pound per week if you're fat but not super fat (18-25% bodyfat); 2lb per week if higher than that.

- weigh daily immediately after waking and pissing, but before anything else. Log your weight.

- at the end of each week, take the AVERAGE of all of these, compare it to prior week's average. Drop calories as needed.

- how do you know how much to drop calories? A pound of fat is 3600 calories. Take the difference between your goal loss and actual loss, multiply by 3600, divide by seven, and you have your daily caloric change. e.g.: Goal loss is 1lb/week, your average went down by 0.5 leaving 0.5lb to be desired. .5*3600/7=257. Drop daily calories by 260 for upcoming week.

- rinse and repeat until shredded

Other helpful shit:

- overfeed protein; high protein diets outperform calorically equivalent low/moderate protein diets for weight loss

- be a stickler for hitting your protein, play with the rest of your macros and figure out whether or not you have more satiety with high fat or high carbs. In general, I find that high fat works best both for myself and for other people whose cuts I have run.

- structure carbs around workouts, generally avoid otherwise

- Play with your meal quantity some and figure out if you do better with lots of small meals or a few big ones

- The more food you can consume while staying in the appropriate deficit, the better. This means if you are able to do a bunch of cardio so that you can eat more while staying in a good deficit, you will generally feel better doing that.

So basically beef, pork, chicken, tuna, eggs, shrimp, broccoli, brussel sprouts, asparagus, celery, spinach, green beens and don’t cook them in oil, eat them steamed (microwave makes it easy).

Aim for under 1000 calories a day.

If you don't feel pangs of hunger every night when you're going to bed, you're doing it wrong.

After a while on low/no carb you are not hungry. This go around I found not drinking diet soda is helpful.

Crash dieting is pointless and you're bound to rebound. I never slept well when under-eating, and I got lean enough with my approach that people started telling me to stop losing weight.

worry about the weight loss later when you first prove that you’re not a faggot who gives up on shit after a few weeks

never resort to power tools. stay with the ax, regardless of how difficult it gets or how many swings it takes to get everything to its proper shape/size, which may be well into the thousands for particularly dense and complex rounds of wood.

bodyfat percentage is where it's at
