"My gym coach would train and diet 24/7 when she was prepping for a big competition. But... Once a week she would treat herself to a family sized portion of sorbet... She came second in the Schwarzenegger..." Yeah I love hearing about other people's successes when I'm struggling to stay on track. Cheers mate lol | |||

"Just have a packet if crisps The energy required to go to the kitchen to get them Then to open them Then the eating Then putting the packet in the bin Well it's a work out in itself " Oh trust me, fat week consisted of more than a packet of crisps but I guess the hard work in the gym has been some damage limitation! | |||

"you look lovely ... muscle weighs more than fat anyway x" A lb of fat weighs the same as a lb of muscle, muscle is just denser. Thanks for the compliment though | |||

"Oh sod.....I'm not a gym goer anymore. It's difficult to have myself a protein rich diet when it's not me that cooks either. I am trying though. " Yeah that's partly the problem, living with someone who is always bulking - argh! | |||

"No because if it fits in your macros then you can eat it ! But sometimes you have to shock the body otherwise it won't grow even with food every now and then x" Yeah the IIFYM isn't for me. And I agree that now and again a cheat meal is good for you, but not fecking 10 days of it lol | |||

"If you are just looking to strip fat then just do plenty of cardio and eat what you want. As long as you know your going to be working it off what's the problem?" Yes doing lots of cardio creates a calorie deficit but I am also technically an "athlete" so need to keep my strength, and lifting weights will keep my body burning fat much longer than cardio. And I need to meet my protein requirements and I can't reasonably do that with McDonald's and cake | |||

"Have you ever had a cheat meal that turned into a cheat week?! I've just had what was affectionately dubbed "fat week" although was more like 10 days. I'm usually strict paleo in a bid to lose some chub. I train bloody hard 4 times a week but as we know the gym is 20% and diet is 80%. I spent last year focusing on building strength for a strongwoman competition and now I want to drop a few weight classes and I am sabotaging myself left right and centre lol. Argh! I totally thought I was going to have to start from the beginning again after "fat week" but luckily only 2lb on. Here's to being back on the wagon " | |||

With appropriate diet you can utilise metabolic pathways designed to strip fat. Generations of competition bodybuilders can't be wrong Low body fat, unless you're just genetically lucky, is nearly all diet. | |||

"Joined the gym last year someone said it will make you feel better in yourself then I found out you have to actually turn up to lose the weight put me right off it " The gym really isn't my problem, I love the gym, I love training and I work hard, but yeah, I didn't magically get fat... I got fat by eating the wrong things and lots of it. Worst part is I actually love eating healthy food, I just sometimes lose the plot and go off the rails lol. | |||

"I do know bodybuilders. You get the real ones, the ones that make it their lives (because you have to) and you get the fat guys that go and work on their chest and arms and have overhang. They like to call themselves that because they can't run, haven't done a sit up and are constantly in a bulking phase.They aren't body builders. It is a scientific fact that if you burn off 800 calories and are eating 2500 you end up with 1700. Sticking to a regime like that leads to weight loss. I wasn't being rude intentionally, I just couldn't be bothered wasting my time arguing with someone who clearly doesn't understand basic fitness principles. I wasn't talking about building muscle, cutting or maintaining strength, the poster said they wanted to strip fat, for that I would use cardio. Making sure if I had a McDonalds, I ran extra to make up for it. " I also said I was a strongwoman. Stripping fat to drop a weight class. It isn't as simple as a basic calorie deficit. | |||

You can still use cardio to burn off excess calories and maintain lean muscle by weight training. It's what boxers do to build stamina while staying strong, you just need to tailor it to suit you. | |||

If you are a body builder you don't want to lose muscle, if you aren't then it's the best way to lose weight. Jeez | |||

So why the feck are you recommending a crap filled diet and cardio? Why are you talking about running and boxing? They are different animals entirely! Crap diet and cardio is not the best way for the OP to achieve her goal! | |||

We're talking about losing fat without losing lean tissue. The human body has a metabolic pathway designed to do exactly that. Oddly enough it's the one bodybuilders use to drop fat without burning lean tissue. It depends almost entirely on the correct diet! | |||

It does if you do it at a great intensity, or the likes of Steve Redgrave wouldn't need to consume over 6000 calories whilst in training for his rowing event. | |||
