How low do you cut your calories when cutting?
« on: February 11, 2009, 06:49:04 PM »
When I am cutting down for some summer abs, the weight really doesn't come off to get abs unless I cut my calories extremely low. Just wondering how low people go because I read in magazines about eating like 2,500 calories and getting abs. If i eat that much I won't get abs even if i'm doing a ton of cardio.

 Not possible for me either.  Of course I am nowhere near showing abs but when I was I tried 1000-1200 and mass cardio and lost a ton of muscle and never did see abs... :'(

There is an e-book called burn the fat feed the muscle.  If you are serious about shreading the fat I highly recommend reading it.  Google for it on bit torrent.

My biggest problem is I can eat healthy all week and be doing really well weight-wise then I go out drinking on the weekend and barely any better on Sunday. I'm able to lose the weight and get pretty cut, but i really restrict calories to do so. I'll try and find that book.

I shoot for around 2000 during the week, with some walking 3-4 times per week and sprinting 1-2 times per week.  Weekends? Haha don't even want to know how high they are.

The pumps I get on a sunday night are crazy.  It's going alright for me atm, but yeah I've gotta to clean up the weekends some more, I don't want to be dieting forever.
