no but the mirror is unforgiving.
2500cals is too much to get really lean.
or itll take forever.
i wanna see the gymrat who gets shredded on that.
ok, depends on what kind of job one has, etc.
They cut on 3000kcals, doing like 2hours of cardio here. The reason why they eat so much is because they are "afraid to loose muscle".
They don't understand that this additional carbs will make your insulin go to the level where it's very hard to loose bodyfat for 90% of people. All this additional cardio will do is burn that energy from carbs off and of course not without cost - every activity makes it harder for you to repair muscle tissue, it wreaks havoc on regeneration... Which means more muscle lost.
Also, some people will NEVER, EVER get lean naturally. 15% - sure, 12% - maybe, not likely tho. They tried every protocol under the sun and whetever they did they just either:
- stayed fat
- lost tons of muscle and got smaller with little bit of fat lost
And year after year they remain looking EXACTLY the same and no guru, no layne norton, no true adonis can help them. Only a set of needles, syringes and good old testosterone propionate can.
