Caloric deficit = weight loss
Increased work activity = increased caloric expenditure
caloric deficit + increased work activity = more weight loss
basal metabolic rate = calories your body needs assuming you do absolutely nothing
You’re going to crash at the huge amount of deficit you’re at right now. Refer to what @flipcollar said above. Eat as much calories you can whilst still in a deficit and losing weight. Or don’t. Your funeral.
So regardless if i am active or not, if i just eat 2000 kcal pr day, then i will lose weight?
Eating lower than your basal metabolic rate and doing nothing else will make you lose weight. Changing the deficit will change the rate of weight loss.
What if i am doing nothing 4 days a week, then i mean nothing, but training 3 days a week? Also eating 2000 kcal a day, will i still lose weight?
The training days will increase the amount of calories you use.
If you are in a deficit all the week each day, plus training on top of that, then your deficit will be increased.
Ok ok. So i dont need to be active every day to lose weight, as long as i eating small amounts of food?
As long as you are in a caloric deficit over the course of a week then you will lose weight.
It helps to have activity on non-training days such as walking around.
Ok, because i started on monday to cut and to eat 2000 kcal, but now its saturday and i still cant see that i have lost some pounds? Why is that? Maybe is the water in my body? I drink 2-3 liter water every day.
Because it takes time moron. God, I sincerely hope that you’re a troll cause how is anyone this stupid?
You want to have visible weight loss and fast? Eat nothing. Absolutely nothing for a couple of days, you’ll definitely see that you’ve “lost some pounds”.
Lots of things affect your overall weight so I wouldn’t be able to tell.
Just stay consistent and weigh yourself once a week maybe Sunday morning under the same conditions and see progress.
My 5 month so far course of A-Level Physical Education is really coming in handy.
Have u cut? Have did u do that? Did u do alot of cardio and eat at calorie deficit? Did u walk everyday?
I have done one “cut” so far where I lost 5kgs of mostly fat.
I’m not the most experienced doing it but the more experienced people are asleep or have run out of patience.
Just monitor what you are eating and make reasonable choices of foods. Make sure you are in a deficit.
Yes I walk everyday like most humans. Not very far but it all adds up.
If u didnt walk, do u think, that u still would go down in weight?
The very definition of a caloric deficit is…
caloric intake < caloric expenditure
in layman’s terms, you’ll lose mass without a doubt
U talking about muscle mass? No, because i train and eating alooot of proteins to keep the musclemass.
Ask yourself this question; if significant observable fat loss could occur in the span of 6 days, why would there be any fat people on the planet?
This takes time. Plan on about a half pound to a pound a week on average. Now calculate how much weight you have to lose. Now you can figure out about how long you can expect this process to take.
It took a long time for you to get this fat; it’s going to take a long time for you to get UNfat.
I have read that the first week of cut, its normall that u losing around 1-3 pounds because of all the water in the body etc.
How much fat do u think that i can get rid of to the summer? Around june?
You should really read this entire thread from the start and then leave this site until you get your shit together. You’ve been given a ton of useful advice and you’re still here wasting our time and yours. Just do something and if you fuck up, learn from your mistakes. If you want somewhere to start…
[quote=“littlesleeper, post:30, topic:226145”] You have some significant body fat to lose.
Choose healthy whole foods and consume in moderation.
Protein: Chicken, Beef, Fish, Turkey, even Protein Powder
Carbs: Potatoes, Rice, Sweet Potatoes, Quinoa
LOTS of Vegetables with every meal [/quote]
[quote=“Benanything, post:17, topic:226145”] Basically, it’s real simple. All you need to do is, eat lesser calories first. You say you’re eating 3000 calories daily, cut that down to 2500 for the next 2-3 weeks. Maybe even more after that.
Follow a training program developed by a reputable coach and FOLLOW IT. There are loads of options out there but I linked you 531 for hardgainers cause it was the first thing that came to my mind.
While you’re at it, read this.
