Which part, the superslow stuff? Been there, done that.
Leaning up? Doing it right now, and pretty easily. That could have to do with me being 19, though.
Eating less? Never had a big appetite in the first place. Easier to eat twice than 4-6 times for me.

yeah it's a hell of a lot easier in your late teens!
I used to get lean just doing a 30min walk in the mornings...that doesn't work anymore...
all to do with hormones, enjoy it while it lasts
It's not just a matter of calories in and calories out. Everything is interactive in the body. And diet doesn't shrink all types of fat deposits in the body

A noticeable decrease in fat has been attributed to many people that used superslow training. Why? I don't know maybe someone can explain it for me.
I am currently training with Paul Baker who is prepping for the IronMan and the Arnold Classic and he says that he only incorporates superslow training during his contest prep because it leads to faster BF% loss, although we are not doing the entire workout superslow.
I think the original superslow workout was doing something like 3 exercises, 2 sets each, 8 reps with 10 seconds down/10 seconds up with 35% of your single rep max.
For instance the way we have been incorporating it is like :
Chest workout
Incline barbell presses - 3 sets 10 reps
Incline Icarian Machine 2 sets 5 reps superslow
Flat dumbell flyes 3 sets
Flat presses 2 sets
Sometimes we just throw in a superslow set at the end of each exercise for one set too.

Maybe super-slow sets cause increased blood mobilization and glycogen depletion.

Well physiology will say otherwise, that it is a simple matter of calories in vs. calories out. I happen to agree with this. Care to explain what you think goes against thermodynamics?

No, he didn't. He said "everything is interactive in the body". That's not very descriptive, now is it? No, didn't think so.
Diet will work to rid people of all types of fat, just not to the point where you'll get shredded (9-10% bodyfat, after that, you need a different approach) - for the general population, a regular calories in < calories out diet will work fine until you get to that level. Visceral and subcutaneous fats are both minimized through diet. HIIT can help with nutrient partitioning and rid you of some extra sub-q, but again, either way will work.
I don't see how it's not a matter of calories in vs. calories out. Whether or not simply restricting calories is optimal isn't the issue.

All you know on the subject is what you are regurgatating from someone else, probably from madcow. So how can you be an authority on something like hormonal change like ccj mentioned when you havent done real research and you havent experienced it yourself. not even 20 years of age.
