If your trying to cut and lose weight and your simply cutting your calories and doing nothing else. It's wrong. At least in the long run. Why? The body adapts to try to make you move less. We call this a low energy flux. You cut calories you lose some weight. But then it slows and your thinking? Why am I not losing weight? What happened? Well the body changed its BMR to adapt to what your eating. This is why ED girls and pro ana people have to end up eating nothing but sugar free jello and air. They end up losing all their muscle and they look like bones! Starving yourself only works for so long!

The only way to truly look good and lose weigh is to simply MOVE MORE and eat just enough calories to have good energy levels!

We call this a high energy flux diet.

Let me give you an example right now which is me! 1800 calories a day. I lost weight. But I stopped losing weight because my body made me subconsciously move LESS and my BMR dropped. What?

So I figured out this whole high energy flux way of thinking upped my calories to 2500 and kept protein HIGH. I burn 500 calories from my cardio ( 10-13k steps a day) changed nothing else. I'm losing more weight!

My BMR has adapted back to baseline but instead I'm just moving more. It's difficult cuz the body wants to make you lazy when you eat less but this is the only sustainable way to lose weight! You don't starve and your heart is healthier too! Just freaking move more!

Good read. Thanks for the info, I've been struggling to get sub 15% bf for a while. It's so hard man. I just want to be optimally lean.
 
I just cut off my excess weight with butcher knife
