My wife and I are going to Vegas June 13th and will be spending quite a bit of time poolside.
I've been going to gym since Nov 2018 and have made plenty of gainz. However, now I've been transitioning over to cutting so gainz will show.
In March I started adjusting to 1500 calorie diet. Ive acclimated pretty well and have worked out how to balance intake with workouts to maintain energy levels and self-repair. Originally, I was doing 1k calories and felt like butter shit...body also took nearly twice as long to recover from workouts. Eating more keeps me in gym and gainz continue.
I also spent most of March and April ramping up treadmill endurance and stress hardening my legs/shins (no longer get shin splints when running at 12mph).
I'm currently 5' 8" ~170lbs.
I want to kick my cutting phase into overdrive while minimizing muscle loss as much as possible.
How should I proceed?
I'll post screencaps of myfitnesspal food+exercises to give an idea of my stats.
I generally do ~30mim of HIIT cardio 4x a week. I run on treadmill if my legs are in good shape (learned not to overdo it to prevent injury). If legs are not in a good state, I go for elliptical. 30mins of cardio is based on research done on 30mins versus 1hr: livescience.com/22646-exercise-weight-loss.html
Look imma give you some advice. There isn’t really any magic trick or biological “hacks”. Just gotta eat at a deficit and make sure your muscles are getting enough protein to rebuild / maintain themselves. GL

this plus fast 1 day per week

Try the Steve Paddock diet. Eat bullets for 500 days each being 5.56mm. Then you will wonder what your motive was for being in Vegas.

why bother getting Jow Forums for vegas when youll be surrounded by fat retards anyway and drinking at 9 am
Joshua Ramirez
I'm pretty consistent with breakfast and lunch.
Dinner is all over the place.
Also, I tend to blow my calorie budget on smoothies. I typically drink them just prior to gym (to get energy) or at the gym after cardio/before strength training to refill glycogen.
1) Mires 2) Socially acceptable shirtless pictures 3) Getting tan in sun without being self-concious

OP, some advice for a guy who has tried every diet on Jow Forums. That is, intermittent fasting, PSMF, prolonged fasting (5-7 day fasts), keto, vegan, and carnivore. The only thing that has CONSISTENTLY worked, AND kept/built muscle, is the standard omnivore 30/30/40 diet, with 5 meals a day, with lifting AND LIIS cardio. You can drop 4-5lbs a month on this.
Everything else has worked to varying degrees, but either I would lose all my gains, or bounce back hard when I was done. I never understood what sustainable meant until I realized theres just no way in America that you can avoid a carb or avoid a meal... but why should you? You're a human, not a lion or a cow or a snake. For me it was about changing my relationship with food, and realizing 90% of the time I wasnt responding to hunger, I was responding to a craving.
Do any of the other diets, buckle down and you will look good in vegas; for the first 2 days. Then you'll feel your belt tightening by day 3. When you get home you'll just feel like shit in the mirror again.
Most of the people in vegas look like shit so much it’s almost depressing. You will mog almost everyone there without much effort.

One more thing, you said you were 5'8", 170lbs, and on a 1500 kcal diet. I am 5'8", 158lbs, and on a 2000 kcal diet doing what I do, and I am still (very steadily) dropping, and I can OCCASIONALLY have a cookie, or booze it up a bit.
Angel Stewart
Maintain everything that you're doing, even the bad habits, and add in 30 minutes of walking 6 days a week. That's it.
100% guarantee you'll lose fat without touching that muscle.
Why the fuck are you eating so little? Use scooby's calculator to find your cals.

You can fix all those problems by not being an insecure cunt

>intermittent fasting Probably the least retarded Jow Forums diet
>PSMF dont know and dont care what that is
>prolonged fasting "Starving myself will be good for muscle retention and fat loss" - Who the fuck actually believes this. It's good for wasting away.
>keto Cars are important to building muscle, plus a lot of the extra weight you think you're losing is actually water, and it all comes back the second you stop. This diet probably destroys your lipid profile too
>carnivore Same as keto except it definitely destroys your lipid profile and colon health (lmao no fiber). I bet you arent getting a lot of micronutrients either.
I've noticed a lot fatties have an unhealthy relationship with food, then when they try to lose weight they continue that unhealthy relationship with some crazy stupid diet. Of course they cant stick to their stupid diet so they relapse to breathing ice cream and pizza.
Dylan Lewis
he was a deep state agent running guns for the CIA, met up with the taliban in vegas but the deal went bad and they killed him and then used the guns to commit a massive terrorist attack. this has been explained time and time again
Wyatt Morales
>this long ass diary post sperging out for going to Vegas with your WIFE
You're already out of the game retard. Your brain is female tier seeking attention strictly to "be seen" and look good with no intention s of actually attracting anyone for sex
What difference in the fucking world does it matter if you're 15% or 10% bf for 2 days at the pool with yourwife. Kys fairy
Very very pathetic
Dylan Diaz
Because he wants to look good for her boyfriend too user
Ryan Rivera
This Also >5'8" No one but your wife will even be looking at you, and she'll be looking at the tall jacked Chads that all the girls you'll be looking at will be miring
