Depends on how much time you invest in it and what your foodstuffs are . A longer diet is better IMO. Last time I dieted to get shredded I lost 50 pounds in 9 weeks by doing 1200 calories for 5 days of the week and 2000 for the weekend.That was hard because I gave myself a deadline for my holiday. I think dieting is really a head game. I think most people don't realise how easy it is ONCE you've stopped obsessing. As I get older I realise that my training is better if I'm maintaining my weight for periods of say a couple of weeks then dropping a few, then repeating.

Yeah, I tried that once but 1,200 is very low for 5 days in a row...right now I am going slowly, trying to drop a pound a week or .5kg a week simply because it is easier to deal with it doing it that way that super extreme methods where it is hard to maintain.

All junk food and protein shakes....

This. Dieting down to the point where you are lean is no problem at all, dieting to the point where your body thinks that you are in a critical state because of low bf levels, this is where it becomes tricky.
You have to be on spot with your diet or on steroids to keep the muscle.

The body doesn't "think".

I just find it was hard to believe that a natural trainer can get very lean and conditioned (sub 7%) without performing any kind of cardio.

Just do it and you will see and you won`t ever have to think about it or doubt it again.

You can be happy as hell that your body doesn't think.

If you want to go picking on words, go to university.

Dieting is not suffering

you know what is suffering?

loneliness

And the conditioning to boot, I'm talking about when the muscles just "pop out" from the skin and take on a 3D appearence. I don't believe that this condition can come about with some hard and intense cardio sessions.

My point was that flowery wordings like that need to be substantiated to avoid pseudo-scientific superstition.

If you're fat and your dieting you need to suffer.

Because you need to punish yourself for letting yourself become a fatass in the first place. That way you wont want to get fat again.

Self regulation.

seriously how the fuck would you know ?

every post you make on the subject is nonsense.

the only pic proving you were in shape ( hahahaha) was 1 solitary pic of a fat calf

your knowledge of working out is also pathetic with such classic lines as you can build more muscle using a barbell than you can with 2 dumbbells

unbelievable.

as for pussy lips original question - no there is no need for suffering at all.

and as for deadwood - fantastically underrated show. Which featured one of the most complicated dark characters of our times.
