    Thanks for your videos.
    I've recently achieved 15% body fat and am now pushing for 12%. I'm in the gym 3/4 times a week and going on walks/doing some cardio 3/4 times per week also.
    I've decided to reduce my kcal further from 1800 to 1600...certainly feeling hungry a lot but am on holiday week after next for a planned kcal maintenance and diet break.

    I've been 85kg at 175cm height. In a matter of months with ups and downs now I'm 73kg but about two to three months now I can't move scales down no matter what. I've had multiple birthdays and holidays with alcohol and other junk food to stay at maintenance but I guess I overmaintained 😅

      Currently at just under 19kg down in about 9 months. Combination of logging food, cutting calories, upping protein levels, and resistance band training. Had a post Christmas plateau but that seemed to stop eventually.
      This channel has helped push me on and crack on ever harder. So, thanks for that.

      Only helpfull tip I can give for the others from my own learning points is; start as early as possible with weight lifting. I started a bit too late with that, bodyrecomp is a much longer process. Getting there though. Great vid as always, lets up the algorythm 💪

    I've been weight lifting for 4 months now. I lost 10 lbs initisy and I started to put on mass quickly so I kept just doing what I was doing. I started creatine about 10 days ago and I know you will retain water and increase in weight, but I've gained about 4 lbs and it's been the same for weeks. I feel like at this point I'm not seeing any other changes. With the muscle , I still have a lot of body fat (I'm 243 lbs now). Does it make sense to do a "mini cut" , aka reduce my calories for a few weeks and just keep on doing the same thing? I do a push/pull/leg split and try to take a day or two off in between before I repeat.

    • @MatteoMarra3
      @MatteoMarra3  2 місяці тому

      Sounds like you're on the right track with a lot of things.
      Why would you do a minicut and not just a full blown cut? No judgement, just asking :)

    Is 2900 accurate maintenance for 210 lbs? I'm 280 pounds eating 2000 calories, mainly protein (200 grams), working out 4 times a week for an hour (which is new) and not losing weight nearly as fast as I think I should be or at all sometimes. I track everything

    • @MatteoMarra3
      @MatteoMarra3  3 місяці тому

      Sounds about right, but your daily activity levels could be quite low, which plays a big role!

    You're in a calorie deficit. It means that you're doing a starvation diet. You don't have to count calories. Just feed the body proper human nutrition, the right amount of animal protein in animal fats. That's all you need

    • @MatteoMarra3
      @MatteoMarra3  3 місяці тому +3

      You don't HAVE to count calories, of course.
      But it's helpful for a lot of people. 🫡
