For The Perma-Bulkers On GetBig. Why Can't You Carb Deplete?

[Palumboism]

If you are a permanent bulker.  Why can't you cut back on carbohydrates?  

I recently lost a noticeable amount of weight and somebody asked how I did it.  I thought this was a bizarre question because there really is only one way to loose weight and I'm baffled by why people won't accept this.  It's a mathematical equation.  Calories in minus calories out.  

[Dr Dutch]

The answer is that we love them fattening foods........

Because maybe they don't want too. Simple as that.

  Bruce Randall was one of the most underrated bodybuilders ever.  What he accomplished should be studied by young bodybuilders starting out and they could make gains in a fraction of the normal time it takes.

Yup, it's really that simple. Carbs provide energy which help burn calories.

My genetics don’t allow me to gain any fat, everyone seems to think I’m on a special carb less diet.

IMO, genetics plays a very big part in our body type. Yet, whenever overweight people complain that they eat very little, I find it hard to believe.

I spent so many years trying to get big. I was lean my whole youth. I was a sprinter in college. Then the getbig mentality got me. Might have spent a decade drinking gain weight shakes and lifting heavy. I bet I damaged my arteries. Now I try to lose weight without much success. I guess I enjoy eating too much and having adult beverages on the week ends. Being lean is what looks good without your shirt. Looking big in clothes is a deception. I look at MMA fighters, sprinters, wrestlers and boxers my height. They all compete ten to twenty pounds lighter than me. I don't go by bodybuilders. One thing I hate when I'm really lean is how I look sick facially. I need some fat there.

Yeah, I tried to gain weight through my teens and 20's and ate enormous amounts of food just to maintain decent size.  Now in my mid 40's I try to lose the gut fat by eating very little and my weight is stable even at 1,800 calories a day.

If there is a lot of stress (cortisol levels) in that person's life, they could very well not be 1. eating that much and 2. the food choices they make are the wrong choices

Have you ever administered a cortisol test?

[Coach is Back!]

Have you ever administered a cortisol test?

No, have you? And if you’ve had a client that couldn’t lose weight or fat no matter what you did and they followed it and had no medical issues with the exception of stress, what would your suggestion be? You don’t need a freaking blood test if you use some deductive reasoning

[Pray_4_War]

I am usually on the lower end of what someone would call a permabulker.

The reason is simple.  I fucking hate counting macros.  Also, I used to drink a lot of liquid calories and sugar.

I just recently cut out almost all the processed sugar in my diet and it's paying dividends.

I can understand that, but I think the science is behind genetically obese people having a more difficult time losing weight. I personally know a few people that came from obese parents that are fitness trainers, work their asses off, eat ridiculously healthy and are always fighting to keep the weight off.

Most fat fucks try lose weight by starving themselves for x number of days, lose some water weight and then binge on food for a couple of days just to end up fatter than when they started.

I gave up trying to help fatties. Last one I helped with diet and training made good progress and got tons of compliments at a wedding from people he hadn't seen for a while. Comes back really enthused and tells me he wants to step it up to 2 training sessions a day and restrict calories further. I told him there was no need as he was still making progress and going balls deep like that could end up having the opposite effect and leave him feeling less motivated.

He decided to go alone and wrote up an elaborate training and diet checklist. He lasted a week and hasn't been back to the gym. Now is fatter than ever, has a bad back and a dirty diabeetus neck. Fuck these fatties

A fatty at work who weighs 225lbs always brings an egg, tuna or chicken salad for lunch, tiny portions. Goes back to her desk and within the hour puts away 2 snickers bars. Why not just eat a bigger lunch!

Had a friend in grade school and through high school that was morbidly obese. In all the time I knew him until he graduated I never seen him take a bite of food. He would go home for lunch, and anytime we went somewhere he wouldn't eat. But I know he was putting away the groceries alone. Later in life he lost over a hundred pounds and managed to keep it off.

Anybody can workout,and some can train very hard,but it is a whole `nother animal when it comes to strict diet.

You have to have concrete short and long term goals,you gotta` want it,and you have to have tunnelvision.

Dave Mastorakis told me tons of pros and perspective pros would have been superstars or have gone much further in competitive bodybuilding but found the dieting aspect of bodybuilding almost impossible to stick with long range.

[Dr Dutch]

It's just feels shit when you get weaker while cutting, even though you may look better.....bummer.

No, have you? And if you’ve had a client that couldn’t lose weight or fat no matter what you did and they followed it and had no medical issues with the exception of stress, what would your suggestion be? You don’t need a freaking blood test if you use some deductive reasoning

A female client?
