>lost 50 lbs
>lost most of my muscle
>most of the fat is still there
why isn't my body using all the fat before using my muscles?
What can I do to get rid of all the fat?
I'm 5'11 130lbs btw
>lost 50 lbs. >lost most of my muscle. >most of the fat is still there
Because you have almost no fat to give you blithering moron. 130 at 5'11" is thin. If you dropped 20lb you'd be approaching holocausto levels. Get your body dysmorphia in check god damn
>Because you have almost no fat to give you blithering moron.
I have tons of fat on my arms, legs and belly
I can literally grab it.
>Where you resistance training and eating at a small deficit (250-500 calories)?
Only lifting and walking, way bigger deficit, over 1000 calories
> over 1000 calories
Well there you go
You don't have enough bodyweight to justify a cut that hard. You really shouldn't be cutting at all at your height and weight.
It's probably skin and not fat and you went too hard on the deficit otherwise you would have kept more of your muscle.
>I have tons of fat on my arms, legs and belly
>I can literally grab it.
lol OP sounds like you have developed anorexia! If you want to lose weight at this point you need to start throwing up everything you stuff your face with
>everything you stuff your face with
I eat less than 500 calories a day
So yeah anorexia
You are not supposed to have pinchable fat.
Post pictures.
i hope you didnt cut protein out as well
>1000kcal deficit
that's no good, ana-chan. you're an underweight dyel now
Where you resistance training and eating at a small deficit (250-500 calories)?
>why isn't my body using all the fat before using my muscles?
Because you did CICO instead of fasting.
Fasting is CICO
Probably some hormonal stuff involved making the body utilize fat and muscles differently. I assume.
Fasting obviously includes a caloric deficit, but the way the body handles things compared to eating at a deficit is entirely different, and superior.
> but the way the body handles things compared to eating at a deficit is entirely different, and superior.
No it isn’t
It is. If you keep eating all day long, but at a deficit, insulin prevents your body from using fat, but since you're at a deficit, it still has to get the energy from somewhere, which means muscle loss and lower metabolism.
You are making things up
It's entirely true. It's the reason why fatties who get told to eat nothing but small meals all over the day and exercise become exhausted, and eventually end up stagnating in their weight loss long before they reach their goal weight.
Yeah no it's not true
Yet people who are at a healthy weight can get shredded from cico alone
curious
not everyone is a fatass like you
>Yet people who are at a healthy weight can get shredded from cico alone
Yeah, because if they're at a healthy weight, all they have to do to get shredded is to gain muscle.
CICO alone is a shit weight loss method. If you’re sedentary and eat low quality food, you are not going to look good at the end of your cut.
>CICO alone is a shit weight loss method
Weird how it works every single time then
> It's entirely true
No it isn’t
Lmfao
>bro science, the post
That's not even remotely true.
If you eat at a deficit, your body only produces a small amount of insulin, and, once it's consumed, your body will move on to consuming your fat cells. If you're not burning fat it's because you're not in a deficit. Insulin isn't some magic, binary substance that's "on" or "off"; your body secretes a dynamic amount based on your blood sugar, and your blood sugar is a function of how much you eat.
Macros and exercise matter. If you sit on the couch and eat twinkies all day but stay in a deficit I guarantee you you lose a ton of muscle at the end of that. And yes you’ll lose fat too, but you’re overall body fat % won’t change that much. Paradoxically, you can lose 20 lbs and still look as fat as ever.
Deficit is part of the puzzle but not the entire solution.
I don't get it
doesn't fasting put you into ketosis
fastings largest benefit has always been greatly increasing insulin sensitivity.
nothing compares other than extreme HIIT cardio, which is unrealistic to do enough.
that doesn't relate to what i was talking about, anon is saying fasting is equivalent to cico, but cico doesn't put you into ketosis. i'm pretty sure fasting does. that's going to make a difference on how much fat mass versus lean mass you lose
CICO isn't a diet, but more like a rule. You can do both Keto and CICO at the same time.
fasting is equal to CICO.
>cico doesn't put you into ketosis
you're just talking nonsense, you do realize that when you eat carbs and afterwords do cardio. your sugar can still be net 0 right?
I hope you can realize this, because if you can't. you're a fricking moron.
I will feed you a doughnut tomorrow morning and have you run 8 miles and you try coming at me with that ketosis takes x amount of days grandma bullshit kid.
Integrate HIIT into your cardio routine bro. Ain't that bad. Literally a few sets of sprints a day a week, if not a couple times a week.
>he doesn't 48 bulk
fasting is CICO
you might be moronic
Post your body for real advice. You probably started with very little muscle mass and cut too fast.
Gain weight slowly and lift like your life depends on it. Muscle mass and fat are two key components of body recomposition and you can’t neglect one and expect good results.
just pull your teeth out and jump into your deathbed already you anorexic freak
>5’11 and 130lbs
Someone get holocausto here a burger and a shake
You're like 10-15% bodyfat right now, moron. Whatever you can pinch is just your flabby muscles or loose skin.
>You're like 10-15% bodyfat right now, moron. Whatever you can pinch is just your flabby muscles or loose skin
Ok. How do I fix it?
work out dumbass
I'm already doing it.
Should I eat more protein?
I'm eating like 50g/day
>I'm eating like 50g/day
And there we have it.
EAT MORE PROTEIN
I am a recovering fatty too and I aim for 100~150 grams every day. I also lift 3x a week. Your body will NEED protein to repair the muscles you are damaging when lifting heavy stuff.
Couldn't it be hormones?
50g of protein should be enough...
Frick, you're stupid.
You are being trolled dude
>Frick, you're stupid
not trolling, 50g of protein for my weight should be enough, I'm not a bodybuilder, just a regular guy
Just stop posting
Muscle synthesis caps out around 1.6-1.8g/kg lean body mass. The RDA is meant for average people eating at maintenance, not trying to grow or lose weight, to barely get by. It's a minimal amount to avoid deficiency issues in an otherwise sufficient diet.
Brother, you should be eating closer to 100-120g/day at your size.
I'm a 180lbs eyel at 5'11 and I don't even look fat
>lost most of my muscle
Maybe you just had fatceps?
homie forgot to lift
because you don't have any muscle
