If you were 6ft 194.8 lbs 15% body fat and cutting, what type of weight loss in lbs/week would you shoot for?
At this rate, what type of performance would you expect in the gym, as far as maintaining/gaining/losing strength is concerned?
Would you prefer slightly more calories and also more cardio, or just letting the caloric deficit due the work with minimal cardio?
Lastly, with all the above in mind, what if you were 19 years old, awful cardio (never do any besides walking couple miles/day), and never under 12% body fat in your life (thats me)?
I've come from ~202 to 194.8 over the course of the past 8 weeks. The majority of that weight loss occurred during the first 4 of the past 8 weeks, in which I switched to an intermittent fasting protocol and a caloric deficit. My steady state cardio also increased due to walking a lot more on campus. I've not lost any strength over this time, gained slightly on a lot of lifts. However I was starting to get weaker at around week 4 of dieting. Thats when I bumped up my calories and implemented some carb loading techniques...seemed to turn the train around. But also caused my weight loss to stagnate.
thx for your input. I know that is all pretty unorganized, sorry.
