CCJ, have you started dieting yet? gonna post updates on how that goes? I'm looking forward to seeing how you go about that.

Oh right, pro-fat thread -

Asshole....... I can't have any of those until after DardenFest.

No diets here - diets are not long term.
I'm doing a good job at keeping fat levels stable, now all I need is to burn more energy.
This is where sprints and intervals come in, plus some short walks

Interesting. I've always had best results from letting activity create a deficit rather than dieting - lost my first 65 pounds without dieting or knowing anything about nutrition.

Still, I'm watching what I eat this summer (no cookie dough shakes )- but trying to lose fat through pure calorie restriction has never gotten me anywhere - like you said, it's not a great long term strategy (not sustainable).

on topic: I'm adding some muscle mass this summer, but I'm also leaning out. started at 193 pounds, down to 184 now with minor but definite growth in the chest, arms, legs, traps and lats (everywhere I guess ). strength is up.

eating plenty on training days (3 days/week) and less on sedentary days. lean meat, oatmeal, olive and peanut oil(for frying), flatbreads, whey, veggies, beans, peanut butter, blue cheese . Gonna boost my activity levels after my upcoming deloading weeks to try and lose another 2-4% before the end of summer.
