Absolute shit pic, 0/10.

First of all, the picture you posted is garbage. The amount of carbs you should be eating heavily depends on your sex, your height and build, and your level of activity.

Secondly, you can't spot reduce fat. Your body decides where it stores fat, the best you can do is reduce your total body fat percentage. This means burning more calories through activity than you consume through stuffing your fat face. Doing cardio burns a lot of calories. Lifting weights burn a lot of calories. Cut down on your eating, do a lot of cardio, and lift a lot of weights.

There, I just saved you from having to actually google for yourself. You're welcome.

You can just not eat until you're as lean as you want to be. I would take a multivitamin though.

Thank you. You are right when you say that I am undecisive because I am no expert on this subject, have little to no experience and the oppinions I find online are often contradicting. This is why I believe you are the right guys to ask.

>compound lifts (deadlifts, squats, overhead press, benchpress)

do you have bodyweight exercises that stress the same muscles (outside of slav squatting)?

Also does it make a difference if you do an exercise faster or slower? Will the stress on muscle be heavier and have greater effect? I know that muscles tear when on training and that they rebuild themselves stronger the days after.

I just sticked to low carb because when I tried it out it seemed to work very efficiently. This is why I asked if this is outdated thinking and I am thankful for your posting. So what percentage should I aim for and how do I measure it? I read brad pitt had less than 5% in fight club but I think this would be overkill for my goals. One guy I know is pretty short (maybe 160cm) and he has a weight of 60kg and looks pretty ripped. He used to have bad overweight for most of his childhood. He started working out, gym, proteins and all and today he is muscular and I doubt he has any gramm of fat on him. I also did not notice any skin problems on him. I wonder what weight this would correspond to for my frame (193cm)

I tried this a few times but it always ends with me raiding the fridge. What I often do is skip dinner completely and it works because the next day I just eat more for breakfast.

Then also I wanted to ask what your oppinions are on situps. I did them when I was a teen but after seeing a video on youtube I stopped. Basically the video was about some guy explaining that you get a donal duck ass from situps, that they only train your outer abs and put stress on your muscles that move the hip region. The guy instead suggested to do stomach vaccuuming exercises and how former generation bodybuilders were doing those in the past. Maybe I can find the video again.

Not him, but why are you avoiding the gym? I mean you can do convict conditioning but that's more of a warm-up than a routine.

Exercise is exercise. You'll burn approximately the same amount of calories running a mile in 10 minutes as you would walking it in 18 minutes. Walking will just take a lot longer. There's more impact on the knee by running which stimulates other growth functions as well as bone destruction, but if your goal is just weight loss, and not joining the military or something similarly active, then that doesn't matter.

Thank you, I just remembered there was this book about how to work out in jail. It was written by some convict and really had interesting exercises there. I avoid the gym because I am a poorfag right now. I saved up some cash for my student life but a gym would cost me roughly 800$ per year and my budget is really tight. On top of that I failed some exams and I will have to do one or 2 semesters more.

I want to build up a little muscles to avoid looking like a complete skelleton after my unnecessary kgs are removed. Also having some strenght never harms you. I really did some nice progress since 2015. Back then I had nothing, barely could lift a 5kg dumbbell, now I have stronger arms and my chest is a little better shaped.

With the running I improved as well. When I started for the first time, I barely ran 2 Minutes before giving up. Now I can run 30 Minutes before I reach my limit. I think I do aprox. 3km during this time (I run rather slowly compared to normies I see, therefore I calculate with avrg. speed of 6km per hour). But after running those 30minutes I am really exhausted. I can only lie down for 15 minutes, have a short nap and then ride home. Overall I did improve quite a lot compared to my peak couch patato time but you can always improve even more.

I mean the more muscle he builds the more calories he burns just from his body maintaining those muscles. Thus the more he can eat, which will be easier for him to adjust to. That kind of muscle won't be built from brisk walks. But yeah any kind of exercise is better than none.

Thanks a lot man, I never heard of this method before.

Interestingly, I noticed that skipping dinner had similar effects with me. Sometimes I would skip dinner completely and the next day I would have lost more weight than with following the usual routine.

OP back reporting in.

Just wanted to let you know that I am now 79kg

Since April I lost 6kg. Most of the week I was eating normal on training/practice days and on rest days (2 days after training) I would usually restrict myself to low carb meals.

When I started, I could barely do 3 pushups now I can do 3 sets of 7. So I did not become weak in the process of cutting down. My belly also shrunk considerably and I can feel it less when I sit around.

I will go down to 75kg for my next goal as my belly is still not the way I want it to be. I will report in again when I see more progress.

Daily reminder that even when your progress comes slow, it will pay out in the end. Don't give up and continue to try getting fit.

>mistake romania flag for colombia

Can't really blame anyone for that when your nations flag is a generic tricolor Jewish flag.

There is no "last mile", you keep running jntil you die.
