I swear sometimes I go for days on 1200 calories a day and nothing happens...I realise after a while your metabolism acclimates but seriously...not that fast?

Any ideas?

If you eat 1200cals a day and did cardio, you would have to lose weight (be it muscle/fat/water, whatever)

Are you an endomorph? Obviously you are sensitive to cals/carbs.....but you shouldn't be that sensitive.

1200 is too low anyway, keep them low, cardio (HIIT), train and low carbs for a few weeks and you will have to see results.

Thats low in the calorie department , Have you tryed cycling your calories? a simple blood test to check thyroid should be able to releive your concerns.

Are you doing long cardio? it could lower your metabolism.

Actually I haven't done any cardio. I have been trying the wavelength/adonis thing with just watching calories. I guess it only sort of works. Mayeb you do need cardio to just start the body/metabolism into getting rid of the fat?

I think you are not eating enough , 1200 calories is pretty low mate , your body will start to store or preserve fat as it thinks there is a famine comming , it goes back to when we were cavemen , you will be using muscle as a primary energy source if you drop calories to low and will gain fat

Well how about this then........instead of trying some approach most don't do, use the tried and trusted method.

Lower your cals, low carb, resistance training 3-4 x week and cardio most days (morning, PWO, HIIT, low intensity.......whatever)

Why do you constantly over complicate/over analyse everything? Man up and just do it.....stop looking for excuses.

Tried and true, I hear you son, will do. The best results I ever got were back in the day by doing tons of high intensity cardio...shit, time to just kick it...

What i meant was maybe go from 2000 and gradually lower to 1800 or whatever.

Yes agree , bump those cals back up and then cycle them and use cardio also.

Its amazing he has the energy to even train on that amount of calories.

I lost 43lbs and it was easy. I did the above and bang, the weight falls off. The hardest thing is just putting that into practice.....

I think you should have sex with a prostitute and than strangle her, everything will be much clearer after you do so.

hrmmm

a few years back i lost about 30kg to a lean (but "twinky") 160-170lbs, but i was 17 so i wasn't really worried

now i want to do it again, but im such a fucking bitch and keep putting it off god damnit!, although 30 kg isn't exactly my goal, more like 15-20.

more threads like this so my morning getbig sesh motivates me!
