*.* NEW- 2014 General Fitness Thread *.*
I guess we filled up the old one... http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=280149
Welcome to 2014! Now get your ass in top physical condition! No one else started it so here it is! **From the 2013 Thread** If you want to get back into lifting, or need a new lifting routine, START HERE: http://startingstrength.wikia.com/wi...inner_Programs If you have questions about the SS programs, look here: http://startingstrength.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ Keep in mind that you're a novice lifter for a longer period of time than you think you are. Novice lifting can last anywhere from a few months to a year or two, depending on how hard you hit the weights and where you started. Once you've reached the point where you don't make regular progress on the SS program, you are ready to move on to the intermediate stage, which can last you for a good number of years. Find it HERE: http://madcow.hostzi.com/5x5_Program/Linear_5x5.htm If you're a very advanced lifter (many, many years of CONSISTENT weight training), then there are lot of programs out there, and which one you pick is simply a matter of preference. If you're really that advanced, you should know what works for you and what doesn't by this point. |

When I only paid attention to calories when I dieted, I was constantly hungry. Once I change WHAT made up those calories, and focused on lean protein, limiting bad carbs, etc. I felt like I was stuffing myself in order to eat the same number of calories. In fact, I started supplementing protein shakes because I just could not eat that much lean protein in a day.

They way my old trainer described it to me was people who ate crap but counted calories lost weight, but they still felt "pudgy". Those who ate healthy foods, especially protein, were more solid. Protein builds muscle mass. Muscle helps burn calories.

2000 calories is a lot of calories to try and lose weight on.

I sort of disagree. If you are a larger guy, say 225 lbs, and a bit pudgy, and if you do even very moderate exercise three or four times per week, then you should be burning close to 4000 calories per day, maybe a few more. If you have a caloric deficit of 2000 calories per day, then you are losing roughly 2.5 lbs per week, no?

My caloric intake during cutting probably scratches about 1200.

There are many factors besides calories that contribute to fatigue. 1,900 calories is still a lot, in relative terms. You shouldn't be feeling fatigued getting that much.

Try fasting for 3 days. If you don't lose weight it's because aliens were beaming fat into your body.

Under 1500 calories isn't necessarily enough to send your body into starvation mode. Just a few weeks ago, I was consuming only 900 calories per day and doing at least that amount of exercise. It was fine. There are many factors influencing starvation mode, the biggest of which is amount of time in a severe deficit, which is far longer than 1-2 days a week. You might start seeing some metabolic slowdown after a week or two if you aren't incorporating some kind of refeed into your diet. Even IF you enter starvation mode, you'll still be burning more fat than if you weren't, so if fat loss is your goal, there's no downside. Now, you need to maintain some amount of healthy fats at all times, and you need to get a couple of high calorie, low fat meals once every couple of weeks if you DO go super low calorie (1500 is not that low), but it's not that difficult. |
