This advice is so incomplete as to be pretty unhelpful at best. Not trying to be a jerk, but A) the kinds of workouts you're doing don't have much at all to do with weight loss, and B) the number of people for whom too much protein powder is the reason they can't lose weight is...I mean, it just must be vanishingly small. These are not the reasons most people who want to be slimmer are not, even the ones who are real active.
I get where you’re going with that, but if you’re doing full body exercise routines 3 days per week, including squats and deadlifts, then your caloric needs will be considerably higher than someone who is just wandering around the gym, hitting an occasional machine. When I’m doing my strength routine I need roughly 3900 calories per day. That is fucking hard to do. So, it’s pretty easy to lose fat (and some muscle). It doesn’t require starving, it requires me to just stop force feeding myself 6 times per day
I do a full week bro split push, pull, legs, accessory arms, accessory back. And if I were to not eat two extra eggs I lose 2 lbs a week lol
Edit...okay more like if I skip lunch every once in a while I lose 2 lbs a week
Could never be me lol, I'm fairly active and have gotten somewhat serious about diet, but man cannabis + ice cream...phew. Good stuff lol.
I wish I could still smoke. I get schizo now, even with the light shit so I've completely stopped. Probably for the best.
Ah bummer, I had that happen when I was younger. Completely unenjoyable, was ruined for many years. It sure seemed permanent for me, but for whatever reason edibles after all that time off worked great.
I was fine in my early 20s and teen years and then they started making everything 20%+ and it was just too much. Maybe when I'm done my career and I'm chilling with a more....accepting job, I can try again.
