And a lot of people gave you advice that you already acknowledged and a lot of links posted in here are good. There's also some pretty bad advice in here... I can guarantee that your workouts will suffer if you go no carb/low carb. Your theory about muscles being weaker meaning you're losing muscle is not true necessarily either... You could be weaker because you're not eating enough to sustain the proper energy levels, it doesn't necessarily mean that you're suffering from muscle loss. Please note, larger muscle mass isn't always associated with greater strength. What else are you looking for, because I think you've already got your answer...? And please, to some of the people posting their "e-creds" in here. No one cares if you used to be a D1 athlete. Some of the D1 athletes I've known are some of the biggest fatasses I've ever seen in my life now, in the real world after college. You're on the internet, and you're anonymous. Your supposed credentials mean nothing. People telling you that "I don't believe anything I read on the internet" and all that garbage, but then they post THEIR opinions and expect you to believe them... Please... OP, you can take what I say with a grain of salt, but if you want to lose fat and minimize muscle loss, continue to lift, work in a bit more cardio, start a caloric deficit, but do it in steps. You need to find the right deficit, not just hack off 1000 calories right away, because you're workouts will likely crash hard and you'll feel like garbage. Find the amount of calories (less than what you eat now) it takes for you to continue working out and working hard while still being able to lift and push as hard (or as close to it) as you were while you were bulking, and chances are you'll lose minimal muscle while trying to cut. Your workouts will likely need to be refined, which is why Quick6EF was asking what your training regimen will be or is currently... But that doesn't change the fact that you will need to push hard, which means you need to eat, and you need to eat carbs too.

Just remember 'Correlation is not causal', so data you read may not be true but there to support the scientist handling the study. Do you believe in Global Warming ?

I'm pretty sure Quick's motivation was that there are a ton of myths out there, and if you actually read into it, you can ingest > 60g of protein. No one said correlation is causation. They studied the utilization of amino acids in the digestive track X hours after ingestion of protein, and compared a group that ate throughout the day vs a group that are in a 2-4 hour span. The p value came to a statistical significant that utilization was equal, which leads to the obvious conclusion that the human-body and digestive tract is not stupid and can hold more than 30-60g of protein (which if you actually help in your hand, is less than a fist-size). As for global warming - the Koch bothers' funded research into proving that ClimateGate was a fraud ... only for the results to come back that there was no fraud. But sure, somehow translate the ingestion of protein (obviously measurable with strict starts and ends) to climate change (lacking historical data, includes outside stimuli, etc). I guess all your education did not teach you critical thinking. Or what an analogy is. |

Others may have already voiced a similar opinion so my apologies if I'm being redundant here (or missing the point).
But I'm not sure I can agree with your comment. I recently accepted I needed to lose ~15 lbs, so about a month ago I started a 1700 calorie a day eating regimen (I despise the word "diet") and began lifting the old dumbells again and doing 20-40 minutes on the treadmill each day. I've definitely burned off quiet a bit of 'extra meat' around the midsection as well as built up muscles in my arms and legs. (not just muscle tone) If you mean you can't burn fat and build muscle thru supplements alone, I agree. But if you include cardio and/or weights in addition to lowering caloric intake, which is the best approach IMHO, you can absolutely build muscle at the same time you're burning fat. I've been doing it off and on for longer than I'd like to admit. ![]() Rus |

But sure. I applaud your ability to be shown contrarian proof, but your insistence on not even looking at it. It takes a real man to hold steadfast to his views, even when wrong. Kudos, you are a shining example of willful ignorance. I look forward to seeing what other evidence you dismiss because they don't jive with your emotions. Me thinks you are obsessing far too much about climate change when the discussion was on protein consumption in the context of LBM gain and fat loss. |

2. You clearly stated you won't read the scientific papers. 3. You have provided zero proof on anything you said. I can safely conclude it comes from the emotional feelings welling up inside you. Me being a condescending ass has no relevance on the quality of information. You are doing the typical attack-the-messenger and not attack-the-facts (because you can't - they are facts). So really, while you wallow in ignorance and snarky comments, please don't try to drag me into this. |

The mirror doesn't tell the whole truth in most cases... And it's tough to tell just by looks. You need to really measure your body fat percentages through calipers or tape or water displacement or whatever your methods. It's known that you usually add some body fat while bulking, and you usually lose some LBM while cutting. You can think all you want, but that's the bottom line. With a caloric deficit, it's impossible to gain weight, whether it's fat or muscle. With a surplus, you're going to gain both muscle and fat, no matter what you do. If you use the surplus correctly (through training), you'll gain more muscle than fat though. And Solo, ignore the troll... He was a D1 athlete, so he knows everything ![]()

Sorry OP... ![]() I do watch total calorie intake and work on muscle growth and cardio at the same time. I've gone from around 225lb to 200 lbs. I am a former D1 football player and have learned how to increase muscle mass while losing weight or maintaining...from some of the best trainers at Michigan, California, and DePapes. My % body fat is now around 12% down from over 20%. Keep in mind I am over 40 so thats pretty good. I had by body fat measured at 6% while in college (water tank) so my current %body fat is my best guess. Cardio - everyday (bike 25 min), run 2x per week, foot drills 2x / week: The best way to maintain mass at the same time is to fatigue your muscles but different areas each day. I do a 4 day split. Day 1: chest and tri's. Day 2: back and bi's 3: Shoulders 4: legs 5: day off. note - each set is pyramid style with a peak at 80% of max wt. I also take at least one week off of weights each quarter. Good luck and I apologize again. I'm a do'er not an internet Gym rat.

All I read was the first line; I'll take that as a compliment. SoloX2 is a smart dude! Glad we finally got some brains in this thread. Ken, for being over 40 you sure have a lot to learn. You've been on this planet 16+ years more than I have, but yet you can't back up your claims with facts. OP what you can conclude from all of this is that you need to keep a close eye on your caloric intake. Depending on your activity level, reduce your daily intake by ~350-500 and keep an eye on the scale. If you prefer the mirror, that works too.

Maybe you can help me diagnose this mole I have on my arm too... ![]() And I see what you're saying. Since people don't agree with YOU and your opinions (which is all you've posted here), then they have nothing good to say in your eyes and aren't even entitled to post? Makes a lot of sense... The telltale signs of a basement dweller... "You don't agree with me, therefore you're irrelevant..." EDIT: 25 minutes of biking, that's a cardio workout for you? Coming from a D1 athlete, I expected a lot more. Oh, yea I was a recruited D1 athlete too. I was also all-state in high school for swimming. I've done quite a bit of cardio in my lifetime. I was a distance swimmer. I swam more than 10 miles a day, every day, starting when I was 10, until I was 22. I'm a do'er, as you say... If we're measuring e-peens here, that is... Quote:
If you don't believe in science, then that's a whole different issue... Maybe you're a magician? But a caloric deficit does not equal muscle gains. Never has, and never will.
