Hi Boss Man, Thanks for replying. What do you mean when you say a 1100 deficit wouldn't be an optimal range? Is it too much or too small? What would be an optimal range for 18.0 BMI and 1300 BMR with this much of training? And what would you suggest for getting a relatively close estimate of burned ...

Hey guys, yay, it's me again. So it's been over half a year now since I started working out. I tried so many things, found so many explanations and had so many revelations about what I'm doing wrong or what I should do differently. And now I think I'll just stick to the idea of eating less calories ...

Well, what you see on the picture is how I look, so I really am not underweight. I have been 99 lbs for years now. Four months ago I started working out, tried all kinds of diets, still 99 lbs and stored fat hasn't budged (although as I said, I had a relapse not long ago, but up until then - no chan...

Thanks both of you for replying! Well, the bacon I eat is the one that is sliced into very thin pieces, so it's kind of hard to get the bad parts of it off, because then the whole thing falls apart. From these thin slices, I eat 2 per day with an egg. By sausage I meant the frankfurter one (or hot-d...

Thank you again!:) Okay, so another question of mine is: am I doing something wrong, because A) metabolism slowed down incredibly and B) so far there is no change whatsoever (I'm on the 6th day of the keto diet, so it might be too soon or I'm just doing it plain wrong). diet consists of bacon, eggs,...

Thank you Boss Man for your response! question still is wehether I should do HIIT exercises and strength training besides (and not instead of) biking? I began to feel tired during cycling, and I'm afraid I might overtrain if add HIIT or strength training, thus slowing metabolism and ending up not ac...

Hey guys! I write again, but not because I achieved some kind of perceptible result, the main reason of which, by the way, is that after trip to Vienna in November I kind of relapsed. Then came Christmas, where, oh boy, all that effort I had previously put into getting lean just vanished. So after C...

Alinshop: Thanks for the comforting words; I am trying to force myself to be more patient (which sounds like a paradox, but...). Acutally I seem to tone up much faster or more easily on abdominal muscles, than on arms (or thighs, for that matter). Vamp: no there is no such restriction for me on red ...

Hi guys, I decided to check in, because I've made some changes recently regarding diet. Ca. a week ago I decided to consume just a minimum amount of carbs, because I think, body reacts quite badly to carbs (especially sugars - all kinds). I think that's where most of the fat comes from. Of course, I...

Hey guys, Stupid question probably, but: do you think it's possible that right arm is more slender (or let's just say thinner) than left, or am I just imagining things? Not that there's a remarkable difference, but I do see that it's thinner. And if so, why is that? Oh, and on those days when I do n...

woah. I definitely can't do the diamond pushup:D I can't even hold myself up, hands are shaking so much; wrists hurt too. It kindda seems impossible, but I guess I'm just too weak to able to do it. I'm sticking with the dips for now.

Yeah, I guess the weights are light for me. At least when I do the kickbacks. Today I will start weight training with longer tricep exercises and then do a whole body training. Thanks for the link:) Boss Man: I think I am getting obsessed with the numbers and that's not good because usually they don...

so, if I keep myself to the diet, then eventually body fat will go lower? not that I madly want the six-pack to show, just get rid of most of the fat. I do tricep dips and tricep kick-backs with dumbells (although I don't own heavier dumbells, I just have 1.5 kilo ones). I haven't heard about the di...

:) Thank you Boss Man:) You're very kind:) It's just that I really don't wanna be overwhelming. This learning curve process is quite a mental fight in me, because this is when I realize how impatient I am. Truth is that I start seeing the results of workouts and healthier eating habits, but it's qui...

:) Thank you Boss Man:) It's just that I really don't wanna be overwhelming. This learning curve process is quite a mental fight in me, because this is when I realize how impatient I am. Truth is that I start seeing the results of workouts and healthier eating habits, but it's quite strange for now....
