I don't know about that.. 1500 cals seems quite low for someone weighing 200+ pounds. If you are lifting and exercising I would try fluctuating calories between 2000-2300 and see how that works. If you plateau quickly you may need to increase the calories for a healthy, consistent fat loss

make your own general tsos..you can get reduced sugar sauce, cook the chicken a healthier way, etc. still not that great for you, but a hell of a lot better then chinese take out. otherwise, get the chicken grilled without oil with brocolli ;x

First, good goal..success comes slowly. As far as macros go..well its going to vary over different people. I've had success on a wide range of them - personally I like 40/30/30 the best, but perhaps switching back and forth along the way wouldn't be a bad idea. Would be like carb cycling to...

lift hard, eat ENOUGH and you shall succeeeed

by the looks of it..your going to need more carbs in that. what are the macros of that diet?

I'd definitely recommend eating carbs in the meal after the PWO meal, but im sure this is something that could be debated goal depending

yea, absolutely provide more information.. but if you have a job that requires a lot of physical activity you definitely need to increase calorie intake as your body still needs a healthy amount to avoid catabolism..

at 125 per day and training id make sure you incorporate a carb up at least once or twice a week

That is definitely not true..you can easily burn fat without much cardio, but it helps. The main thing to be concerned with here, in my opinion, is to lift heavy and attempt to keep increasing while eating a clean, healthy diet that is sufficient enough in calories to maintain steady, healthy...

well, im a cigarette smoker. im probably in the same boat as you, and I can personally tell you my lifts have gone up steadily, and am capable of shedding body fat rather easily..quitting is always a better option, but to answer your question I would say the effects are minimal unless talking...

Well, the reason he suggested circuit training is because he is a boxer. Personally, I'd try to maintain your core lifts, get rest in between them, and throw in some incline walking or HIIT along the way..and like said above, diet is a HUGE part, so make sure thats in check..

I'd personally do a short bulk cycle to get everything back in check, then start again doing more like a 750 cal deficit..your metabolism just probably slowed down significantly from the 1000cal deficit every day

Wow, this is really interesting. I think it might be time to just do the real black coffee again..

I think she needs to consume more calories for the amount of exercise shes doing..her metabolism is probably non-existant if shes been running that regime for a while. eat to little your body just turns catabolic..which is pretty counter productive for looking "lean"

I agree with this. In my experience with some crazy cheat binges, it really didn't effect my fat gain as much as it should have, as after the water weight was re-depleted I was back to about normal.
