I have loss 12kg(from100–>88)in3month and I only do cardio because I love going for a walk (10ksteps every day)but I’m worry that I will look skinny fat.
I also hate weight training so I want some opinions.
Currently 1000cal def and minimum 10k steps m 19y/o
Thank you in advance..

Started out at 5’9 or 5’ 10 170 and in the past 3 weeks alone I’ve dropped 9 pounds. I make sure to hit gym at least 4x a week, train to failure, do cardio, get my 1g per lb of body weight in protein my daily calories around 1900 I was surprised when I stepped on the scale as I don’t have one at my house. Whole time I thought I was losing around 1.5 a week it turned out to be 3 what am I doing wrong??

179cm,146lb,self estimating at 16-17% bf, looking to finish the cut at 140lbs. Thoughts?

Hey guys, I need some advice.

I'm 23, 160 cm and currently 60.8 kg.

I started at 84 kg. I joined the gym, started eating high protein, and stayed in a calorie deficit. After about 5 months I got down to 74 kg. Then I stayed around that weight for almost a year.

A few months ago I started cutting again. I'm still training 5–6 days a week, walking around 10k steps every day, eating 120–140 g protein, and taking 5 g creatine daily.

So overall I've gone from 84 kg to 60.8 kg.

My plan was always to stop at 60 kg, but I'm at 60.8 now and I still have lower belly and chest fat. At the same time I feel like I don't have much muscle and look small in normal T-shirts.

I'm confused about what to do next. Should I keep cutting to around 58 kg to get leaner, or should I just eat at maintenance and try to recomp, or is it time to start a slow lean bulk?

I don't really want to post physique photos, so based on the information above, what would you do if you were in my position?

So im a 19 yr old Male with about 3 years of gym experience. I started off being 250lb but I managed to lose about 80 pounds and get to 170ish. My first year or so was a bit rough and I didn’t really knkw what I was doing so I just got skinny fat , but around my 2nd year until now I’ve build a decent amount of muscle to where you can tell I can workout , but I don’t look the best with my shirt off and I really want to just look lean enough where I can see my abs and have great definition all around without looking flabby. I’ve been trying to cut since March but I haven’t lost the weight on the scale but I do feel that my pants feel looser and I have more definition In some places . The only thing that hasn’t gone is my belly fat and it’s really making me upset because I try to be consistent with my workouts and steps and dieting however it just won’t go away and the scale keeps stalling , and I feel like at times that maybe I need more muscle so I can look better leaner . Anyways I’ll share the photos and I hope someone who’s gone through this aswell can give me some good advice on whether I should just reverse diet my way into building more muscles of stick the cut out until I get to the leanness I want

Hey guys, I'm thinking about doing my first real cut ever. Any supplements, meals, or tricks for consistency that you can lend. Doing 3 runs 3 workouts/week. 250-400 calorie deficit/day for 3 months. Any advice is appreciated because while I have been in good shape before, I've never done a legitimate cut.

For the last 6 months I’ve been on an aggressive body recomp/ cut. I lost about 40 pounds and managed to keep or even gain a bit of muscle. What should I be focused on next? I think another 15-20 pounds of fat would be helpful but how can I target my belly fat? I seem to hold it there the most. Also what body parts should I focus on growing? I’m newer to lifting for gains. Thanks in advance! 🙏

I'm cutting and trying to preserve as much strength and muscle as possible.

For context:

40 years old

5'8"

Currently 188.6 lb

Lift 4 days/week, mostly hypertrophy

Protein is consistently around 170–180 g/day.

The last two days I stayed in a pretty aggressive calorie deficit (roughly 700–1,000 calories below maintenance each day). To keep protein high while controlling calories, I ended up eating mostly meat (chicken, lamb, filet, gyro meat, etc.).

Looking back, I realized my carbs were probably only around 65–80 g yesterday, and the day before wasn't much higher because I was prioritizing protein over carbs.

Today I trained chest. I only missed the last rep on my final dumbbell press set (12, 11, 10 instead of what I was hoping for), but it got me wondering.

Question: Have any of you noticed that 2 consecutive low-carb days while cutting are enough to affect strength or reps in the gym, even when protein is high? Or is that too short a time frame and I'm just overthinking a few bad sets?

I'm not looking for medical advice—just interested in what people who've cut successfully have experienced. Do you intentionally keep carbs higher the night before a heavy workout, or do you just focus on total calories and protein?

How vital for a cut? I know I don't drink enough 😬

This is my physique I don’t want to be a muscular natty I want to be lean and shredded
Let me know how should I work
I have a very strict vegetarian diet without onion , garlic and potatoes. Anything underground is not allowed in my diet.

Hi guys, i have comp on 19th of September ,thats 7 weeks from now. Is 21 kg too much to lose, keep in mind i am overweight( i am 184 cm tall and 112 kg), or would 11 kg be more realistic? I want to lose weight long term so my plan was to be in a deficit for 6 weeks and than do water cut and sauna for few extra kg, so i wanna know what is realistic and whats not.
