Point me to a thread or respond here. My goals are to cut some belly fat, get a little more ripped. I’m already doing lsu777s GS routine suggestion from my thread a few weeks ago and it’s been great. I need to now get my diet in focus. I realize different diets work differently for everyone. I’m looking to continue my gains but get my damn abs to be visible and just tighten things up a bit all over. I’m not overweight, but I do have some things I’d like to change. TIA

.8-1.0 pound of protein per pound of body weight. I use my goal weight as a guide.

Google TDEE calculator and find out how many calories you need per day to lose weight. 1-1.5 pound per week if you’re 25 pounds or less. 2 pounds per week if more. YMMV.

Keep lifting. Heavy. Act like you’re still going to set PR’s on your lifts.

Abs are shown in the kitchen but you can build them. Look up Athlean X ab routines if you want good core exercises. Honestly, compound lifts will hit them enough.

Diets aren’t necessarily bullshite, but they aren’t necessary. Keto, paleo, vegan, carnivore - they work for different people. You need to find out what works for you both psychologically and digestively.

Pretty simple really

Make sure you are eating in a caloric deficit. Prolly start at 12 x bw and adjust down as needed

Eat 1g per pound of bodyweight in protein

Feel the rest of calories up with however you feel works best for you. If you like meat, do keto. If you like rice and how it makes you feel...eat carbs.


I mean I suggest weighing every two weeks first thing in the morning. I find it best to do Friday mornings in case weekend I drink or do something else that may make me retain water. If I don't lose in those two weeks I adjust down 250 calories or I add an extra 20 min of walking daily until I reach that 360 min mark for week.

Another thing is maybe try the carbon diet app. It's only 10 a month and we'll worth it.
