Everybody Who Struggles to Lose Weight Get In Here

[brahmabull117]

Both the post regarding your 6 meals/1 meal and the 10 myths post are factual.

there is absolutely no scientific basis on 6 meals a day being an effective way of burning calories


it's just bro science, it NEVER had any scientific research behind it

http://abundantbrain.com/2010/08/exploding-nutrition-myths-2-the-myth-of-meal-frequency-and-timing/

there's 1 study and there's about 3 dozen studies on bodybuilding.com that prove the same thing



bottom line, losing weight comes down to calories in vs. calories out during an entire day. The actual specifics are mostly irrelevant

About weight lifting

I do a lot of repetions with small weight. Is this good, or it is better to do a lot of weight but small amount of repetions?

Link those. The study you link is irrelevant to what you've stated, as they all include 3 meals a day vs 6 meals a day.

bottom line, losing weight comes down to calories in vs. calories out during an entire day. The actual specifics are mostly irrelevant

If you don't believe in pre/post-workout specific nutrition, as a bodybuilder you are simply not building muscle as efficiently as you can. Period. Use the percentages I posted in this thread, they are were compiled over 3 relatively recent studies (which I cant find, lol) that were specifically measuring lean muscle mass, muscle fiber, weight of lifts in lb, and something else I can't remember. They tested when the meals should be eaten (30 min before and immediately after), and what the meals should contain.

To do this most effectively, pre/post will make up 2 meals of a 6 meal day. Your body can only use a certain amount of protein per meal, and you'll make better use of what you are putting in your body by doing it.

Hmm workout and eat less...nah thatll never work

all you're saying is the widely accepted bro science




this guy eats 1 huge meal a day






go on bodybuilding.com and go into nutrition section, there's a dozen threads on how meal timing is horsesh!t

not true, i never said 6 meals a day though, but you can't eat all that at one or 2 meals

Also on a low carb diet you can actually consume more calories then you were before and lose weight.

[brahmabull117]

Said who??


I have been doing that for 2 weeks and have dropped 6 lbs

Also on a low carb diet you can actually consume more calories then you were before and lose weight.

you realize this goes against basic laws of physics??

[ttwarrior1]

looks like you dont even lift at all, i see no muscles , wow stunned you know nothing about low carb diets.

you lost me, one message your on 6 meals a day and the next you say you can eat one meal a day. I doubt anyone can eat 6 meals a day and not go over 1500 calories

What they are saying is that what you eat is more important than when you eat it. Had you said that, you would have been correct.

all you're saying is the widely accepted bro science

It's widely accepted because it's true. In these studies, they show how important what you eat and when you eat it is. Assuming a proper balance of protein/carbs/fat for your body type has been established, you can and would see better results if you followed proper nutrition. Using empirical evidence of some guy (who is probably genetically a freak compared to most people) means nothing. And I'm the bro scientist?

[Dad]

how many calories do i burn when im jerking off?

Big Joe, that all depends on how quickly you release.

If you are a one pump chump, you're not going to get skinny.

Thanks for answering my question, I will not ask for your help again.

[brahmabull117]

I apologize brah, there was a lot of people asking me questions in this thread



the answer is do the perfect medium


a moderately heavy amount of weight for 7-12 reps. Do enough weight where it's really challenging

So much bad advice in here, you want people to hit the gym to put on mass, but you want them to have a calorie deficit?
You can only gain muscle mass by having an EXCESS amount of calories per day in addition to what your body needs daily to function.

As well, meal timing is not that important. Unless your a pro athlete, it's not as important as hitting your daily needs in terms of protein, fat, and carbs. Avoid supps and just eat good healthy food. Google is your friend.

If you want to lose fat, lifiting weights is fine, but don't expect much of a gain. You are better off dieting hard in terms of tons of cardio, with light workouts, with a calorie deficit of 500 calories, then after a few months, hit the gym, and add 1000 calories a day in protein and good carbs (complex, i.e. sweet pot, brown rice, etc...) then you'll gain lots of muscle.

Theres tons to learn at bodybuilding.com, read all the stickies. Forget everything you have read is crap magazines and from your high school gym teacher.

1)if you're actually just starting out as a total newbie, you can gain muscle and lose fat at the same time (just workout hard and eat a reasonable amount of calories). This is called a body recompisition, you're not gonna lose fat as fast but you will also gain muscle at the same time and look better all around


2)if you have a good amount of muscle mass and just want to get ripped, you still have to lift weights in order to maintain your muscle mass


3)I never said you can lose a ton of fat and gain a ton of muscle at the same time bro


my advice was more general advice aimed at everybody (some people want to gain muscle mass, some people want to lose fat)

[lcscanada]

No, I don't. But I do read and educate myself fatty. Don't hate cause I got a 6 pack and your a fatty

[Dirty Sanchez]

Screw that...just eat fukkin Twinkies...most of those Bodybuilders can't find their weiner anyways from the Roids

[ttrace35]

Everybodys body is different. Your have to try different methods to see which one your body better responds to. Also, 80% of this is genetics. Some people are just more genetically inclined to be fat and their is very little they can do.

[cobalt king]

I started p90x about six weeks ago its a really nice break from the gym and I feel I'll be even stronger and lift heavier when I get back in the gym I suggest everyone try it.

[Cap dat 4ss]

Brahma, keep it simple in here pal. One of the reasons people trying to lose weight quit is because they perceive it as being too complicated. Like there is only one best way to do it and that is 100% false. Forget what the studies say too. Unless you've taken a research and statistics class it's easy to misinterpret studies. Just reading the conclusion is dangerous and usually leads to individuals touting bad info. Most studies I've seen in this field were poorly done. Just keep giving solid advice and maybe you can help some people out without confusing them more and let people find their own way.

Trace you certainly speak the truth in this post pal. 80% is certainly an arbitrary number but while we can always improve the way we look we can never overcome our genetics. It just comes so easy for some people. To each their own at the end of the day

bro you're preaching to the choir



I have been telling everybody to "keep it simple" as much as possible



reasonable calorie amount and work out hard with challenging weights
