I think the dialogue about this approach is educational, but not what OP needs. Off this approach and whatever is current diet/training is, the progress will be minimal.
The progress will be much better off lifestyle changes that athletes on and off testosterone benefit from.
Now if you make these lifestyle changes and dial it all in without the aid of any pharma, you can take it to the next level when you do take whatever. This is common sense at your current fitness level
Yes, but many people don’t have the will power for that. I think trying to make things easier isn’t a bad idea. strategies can be employed depending on the person. Some people like certain diets and they work. Personally what has worked for me is reading labels and picking filling , lower calorie foods (high in protein generally).
No willpower necessary: again, this is INaction. If one legit cannot stop their hand from carrying food to their face, chewing it and swallowing it, I’d say that individual is suffering from some sort of disorder.
It’s always a choice. And in that regard, when one chooses to be lean vs eating yummy food, fat loss is SUPER easy. It’s only when they haven’t made that choice that it’s tricky.
This is very true I think. As soon as I start dieting I do two things:
Make the decision that leanness is the new goal.
Change my objective so only getting leaner is the new standard of progress.
So if I lose 5 lbs on the bench (this diet only lost 5 lbs!), I don’t care, it will come back after I’m lean. If I feel like eating 5 burgers, I won’t because it isn’t conducive to the goal. I walk 30 minutes instead and forget it.
I truly think taht the best thing for burning fat is running. If you don’t make any workouts, I would start from running every second day, and then make a transition to every single day. And of course, don’t forget about different cross-fit exercises as well.
