I’m a 43 year old male, currently weighing in at 225lbs at 5’11". About 30% body fat. I’m preparing to go into a caloric deficit to reduce my weight by about 1 lbs / week, my goal is to get to 200 lbs by this December. Based off a calorie calculator I’d need to reduce my caloric intake by about 5…

A small glass of milk has always been the answer to that for me

I have had success the exact same way through skipping breakfast. If I have to do a morning workout I usually start fasted but have a bottle with two scoops of skratch and at least 1-2 gels on hand. I take one right after the warmup and one right before the last intervals (usually). That seems to he…

You’ll be fine as long as you keep your protein high enough. Aim to get 30% of your calories from protein, or about a gram per pound of target weight. Eat fat sparingly and carbs strategically.

My fasting days are Mon/Wed/Fri (any 1, 2 or 3 of these depending on work/life) and on those days I do strength work in the gym. I replace weekend TR workouts with outside …

Had some success last year with the Traditional Base plan. The increased volume helps with the weight loss, while the lower intensity doesn’t drive fueling requirements through the roof. Significantly improved my aerobic base in the process, so that as soon as I added some intensity back in, got a …

Fat free Greek yogurt for me and if I wake up hungry at night I will get up and eat some more. Any “healthy” calories eaten in the middle of the night do not have to be counted.

Skipping meals, following diet fads, and not eating foods you like has caused my in-laws weight to yo-yo in their 30s and 40s and 50s. However some on this thread can make it work!!
