When do you know when it's time to go cut down bodyfat?

[Marty Champions]

protein doesnt build muscle

protein is used in the muscle building process.

lifting weights signals muscle growth. hormones signal muscle growth. eating excess calories can signal muscle growth.

protein alone doesnt signal muscle growth. (to a small extent a high leucine and fast digesting protein like whey will boost nitrogen retention a bit, albeit)

eating high protien works to a point on a diet, then it doesnt then things go in reverse

best to eat lowish protien but more chocolate not fat free chocolate either

when ur bodys burning fat it needs to be recoated with fat internally, it wont result in fat externally as long as u r consistent

u dont want to fuck up your hdl and ldl by severe fat restricting diet this will cause even more bad ldl buildup 'naturally' made by the body

I went on diet for a week but lost all movitation now because i don't have that much bodyfat to lose, maybe 10lbs to get down to "abs" level. I just stopped the diet because i think i'd rather get stronger than waste this time losing that 10lbs to be cut.

Keep on eating lots of protein and dont be afraid to lose that 10lbs.
You will look small at that time. But when you come back to your current weight, you will have decent body with"abs".
Once you dry out, you wont gain fat if you eat lots of quality calories which is consist of good amont of protein.

Here,todays pic is around 9lbs more than the contest weight. I am softer but still look good(and even without pump).

Ok since you want to be a know it all smart ass cortisol actually is the hormone responsible for STIMULATING muslce growth and repair.

I wonder how can he be like this?
The first of all, how can he go to bath room?
And he doesnt look enough rich to have maid or some helpers.

It would be a miserable existence.  I imagine this pic is probably "photoshopped," of course, but someone this big would have to have a choice spirit to maintain a positive outlook.

I think he just does cagar on himself; he is Mexican and I think he died maybe, saw some report on it.

Oh really? died?

Just very strange that nobody could stop or he couldnt stop it(cus he cant even cook, somebody should cook food for him).
Nobody can get this fat in one day.

[Marty Champions]

unhealthy cholesterol plays a key role in fatloss

if we start with a high protien low fat moderate carb approach it will work to a point

then u can try beer to 'further that point' your bodyweight may drop alot by this point from when u started high protien low fat maybe 10-18 pounds then again it may not, u may simply just look more ripped at this point but progress slows and workouts suffer because u lack cholesterol from dietary fats

then u hit a platueu

thats when u need to change the diet totally to something like 40-60 percent fatcalories (think chocolate , it tastes good and its garanteed energy) and INCREASE calories because u will be gaining muscle at this point and u will be repairing your body, drop the protien at this point, u may gain GOOD weight at this point and look fuller more ripped

thats kinda the phase where im at with my diet currently

While I am critical of most people who never exercise saying they "can't help" being fat, I can only guess that someone like this gentleman must have serious medical causes for this level of obesity.  Most people, in my opinion, couldn't get this fat even if they made a conscious effort to do so.

Yeah, I agreed.
But I am refering about the enviromental situation only.
Maybe gradualy he became fat like this.
So,in other word, he needed somebodys "help" to look like this.
Thats why ifelt strange.
Get it?

I think he's alive and "well"?  I saw a documentary on him not even a few months ago.  He even got married!  The woman is probably only 20-30 lbs overweight.  He must have money to be able to sit at home, not work and afford to feed himself what it must have taken to get that big.  He said he is even able to have sex with his wife since she moves his rolls aside lol.  He basically just sits there, she bathes him on his bed, and he has some type of litter bag under his bed.  On the rare occasion that he leaves home (ex. for his wedding) he is put on some sort of cart and carried around or attached to a vehicle.  The documentary said he was dieting, and he even ate strict at his own wedding.  He lost over a hundred lbs which still wasn't noticeable.

Its on the TLC channel. Somebody uses a big ass wet towel to wipe his fat ass and they literally have to dig to find his di*k so he can piss. Its funny they were trying to find a special diet to help him lose weight when the answer is easy. Stop feeding his fat ass until he can get up and get the food himself. He could easily survive 3 weeks without food and just water.
