r/CuttingWeight

Queria algumas dicas de como montar um cutting que realmente funcione e na melhor estratégia, onde encontrar uma forma correta de calcular TMB
Tenho quase 3 anos que entrei na academia e sempre fiz uma dieta de déficit ou pelo menos fiquei em 80% do tempo tenho 18 anos; 1,69cm, 67kg consumindo mais ou menos 1600 cal passo o dia sentado pois sou estudante e tals mas sempre procuro andar bastante na escola pra se movimentar e treino no meu máximo de segunda a sexta ( adicionei a quinta feira como um dia ativo pra não ser parado totalmente) e olhe que eu inicie o déficit com 62 e não notei aumento na gordura nem queda exagerada mas uma boa melhora na questão de ter mais massa e tals

Faço isso a um bom tempo e nos melhores caso o meu físico só está menos pior atualmente e mesmo assim ainda tenho uma boa quantidade de gordura minha pele não esta em uma condição perfeita e super mas já consigo ver abdômen de uma forma leve.. SOU/FUI FALSO MAGRO talvez seja por isso que está mais difícil

O que eh poderia fazer pra ajudar no processo?? Nesse ano já tem uns 3 meses eu achoque estou nessa e estou sem saber se passo mais tempo ou subo as calorias pelo menos para o meu basal visando um cenário mais metabólico

Hey guys! I’ve been trying to lose some body fat for about a year now, but I haven’t had much luck. I’ve tried strength training, eating in a calorie deficit, and tracking my food as accurately as I can. I was eating around 1,400 calories/day and getting 8–10k steps every day, but I’ve stayed around 120 lbs and honestly look pretty much the same. During this time I’ve probably had a few days where I ate too much without knowing.

This summer I decided to take a break from dieting and eat around my estimated maintenance of 1,500 calories since I’ve been mostly sedentary. I’ve been maintaining around 119 lbs, so now that school starts next week, I’m planning to get back into strength training and 10k+ steps a day.

My main goal is to lose some body fat, especially around my stomach/lower belly. I’m wondering what would be a reasonable calorie target be?

For reference I am 20 years old and 5’1. Any tips are appreciated!!

Hi, I started mounjaro 4 months ago at 15 stone 2 lbs, and now weight 11 stone 7 lbs. I am now considered normal weight, which is great. My issue is, when do I stop?? My head tells me to keep going, to go until I can see abs, but I don’t want to swing so far the other way I look too skinny!!

What weight is a perfectly fine weight to stop mounjaro at for a 5 foot 7 man?

so ive been on vacation where i gained a kg or two (it was a long vacay and i counted my cals so i know its no less) (for the record im 5’4 and used to be 55ish kg).
i used to be skinny fat but in the recent two ish months started going to the gym and strength training 2x a week. also generally became more active.
now after the vacation i want to go back to the weight before it so ill do a cut.
though i like seeing progress in my muscles and would hate to lose them in the cut and become skinny fat again (tho i lowkey am rn).
how big should my deficit be? if i keep training 2x a week

18M, 170cm, 70kg as of this morning. Around 15% bf. Maintanance should be around 2500 and ive been eating around 1500. I have been doing an aggressive cut for 2 weeks. I plan on continuing like this for other 4 weeks(but if im lean enough ill stop early). Before you ask have been tracking calories and doing around 15 to 18k steps a day

I have questions that google cant answer (and i refuse to use ai) so i gotta resort to real people.

I started and i was 73kg, then my weight dropped for a couple of days until it hit 70.3 kg and stalled for at least 5 days. After that it got at 70.7 for 2-3 days and it dropped today at 69.9(basically 70 but whatever). Even tho i lost 3 kg of most likely water weight i have seen no difference from when i started in my appearence.

My main doubt is if my body is holding onto eccess water since its stressed about the deficit when will it drop the water? Everybody says that week after week i should see progress, i understand that 2 weeks is not much time but for a deficit this harsh it seems weird.

My other dilemma is if a refeed day would be beneficial. As long as im busy doing something i dont think about food so my mental health wouldnt bulge by much. Ive heard about the so called whoosh effect and that it could be triggered by a refeed day since the body is lowering cortisol because of the nutrients its been deprived of coming back. That said im not sure if i want to do one since ive seen advice of just sticking to the plan.

Like can water weight be flushed away on command with a refeed day(or doing whatever workout ufc fighters do, im not considering it btw i just know that they do that to drop weight the day before a fight) or do i have to just trust the process and it will drop the weight all at once? Like i dont mind waiting to have a good physique but i want to know if im doing it right and some changes in appearence in between where im just a little leaner would be appreciated.

Thanks for your time please leave suggestions anything would help

I’ve gone from 75 kilos to 71 kilos to 19 percent body fat. I’m 175 cm and my calorie intake is 1600-1700 at the moment. I’m lifting but not consistent. I’ve dedicated myself to a new program and it’s going well. I’ve been trying to get rid of this body fat for months without not a lot of success. I was planning to bulk this winter but at 19 percent, am I stuck cutting more? I’m wanting to get down to 15 percent for now.
