Pretty good read about dieting. Some of this wouldn't fully apply to us, as it was written be a natural for naturals(like the necessary fats for hormone production... We've got that covered :32 (20) . Good information nonetheless.

I would take everything that Layne says with a huge pinch of salt. This is the dude who convinced women that they weren't losing weight because of "metabolic damage" (it was actually just water fluctuations hiding fat loss) and that the only way to fix that "damage" was by slowly increasing calories over many months. Despite the fact that the only way you're ever going to reverse weight loss induced metabolic adaptations (more accurate description than "damage") is by consuming maintenance level or above calories. As soon as possible.

Layne is a shill. As a result, in my humble opinion, his views are totally null & avoid on most subjects. Dieting included.

Fair enough. I was actually unaware of his "metabolic damage in women" issue.

I'm actually semi going through this with my wife right now. She freaks out over the scale fluctuations, especially the week before her menstrual cycle begins. It's a roller coaster with women.

Especially considering that high-quality studies on metabolic adaptation were already showing that it was a relatively minor factor for the vast majority of people. Layne is VERY good at ignoring evidence that he finds inconvenient.

Hell yes it’s a rollercoaster with women.. Their natural hormones, when fluctuating can cause upwards of 10lbs fluctuations in weight due to water. I’ve learned that from experience. Especially around the end of their menstrual cycle.

 

[MrInsensitive]

Ugh. Just starting to lean back out.. Its been a rough road fellas.

 

[Trump]

[MrInsensitive]

Quack attack, you look like you been putting in Hella work!! I can see those abs man!
I echo Dk, the lighting or maybe contrasting the photo would make those pop more.
Trust me bro, lighting is everything.

Thank you guys for your compliments. I'm such a damn-negative Nancy.
And all you guys have been putting in work. I promise you, I wouldn't be where I am without YOU. Thats facts. You guys have taught me SOOO much and motivated me like never before.
I'm not a social person, so I literally have like 2 friends in my life.. no one talks to me.. so hearing it from experienced people means a lot. Thanks.

Thewall I'm sitting right at 200 in evenings.

DONT SHAVE IT.
I miss my beard, it was at 7-8 months when I chopped it and emasculated myself.

200lbs and you look thick! Good for you. Killing it.

We dont even have to ask if you’re Irish, ha.
