    Thanks! and yeah, that would be me. Good lighting in that pic tho, makes wonders for your look

    Looks like you're carrying more muscles then me though, esp in those legs.


    What I did was basically:

    *Started just cutting back on calories, I ate what I always ate, just less of it. This was just to get things started, and little by little I came up with new recipes, which I calculated the macros for the first time I cooked 'em, that way I always knew what was in whatever I cooked, and the effort put in in the beginning payed off quickly, as I had a couple of dishes I could switch between so eating did not get too boring, and did not have to weigh, count and calculate everything every single day. Experimented once a week, when I felt I had some extra time.

    *This got me onto eating slightly healthier week by week, learning more in the meantime

    *Cut back on carbs, and upped the protein

    *Weighed myself every morning, and kept a chart, 75% of the time weight had dropped, or was the same, occationally it would just spike, adding 2 lbs overnight, but 2-3 days later it'd do just the opposite. Weighing every day lets you pick up on things pretty quick, I prefer this over weighing in once a week.

    *Started switching between eating 6 times a day, and doing intermittent fasting, where I would eat a big meal in the evening, and then not eat anything (apart from perhaps a bit of pure protein) until the next afternoon, essentially fasting for 16+ hours. This was really effective

    *Cut carbs entirely 8 hours or so before bedtime, also very effective.

    *Had one cheatday every week, when I ate just whatever I felt like. After a while even the cheat day became less and less unhealthy, I tried NOT to go below TDEE on cheatdays, but it still happened occationally.
    At first cheatdays meant the scales went up, or didnt budge for a day or two after, but when I started doing the intemittent fasting thing before cheatmeals, that changed.

    *Cut back a LOT on milk, which I had failed to realize contains a lot of sugars (Lactose)



    Basically, that's it!
    Hard to get going, but once I started seeing results I never looked back. All it takes is time and consistency

    Ha, I don't think its just the lighting. Very nice abs. Took alot of work to achieve those. Well, i have always been called frog legs. Working on getting them back for sure. I actually like ur approach. Very simple.
