Meaning, just go the naive route and fuel with gels for high intense sessions and muesli bars and fruits for light tours?

As always, your answer is top notch. Thank you!

Thank you! That’s a good way to think about oneself. I’m “optimizing” my body and that’s the last negative part that I could improve. Compared to myself, I’ve achieved so much!

Thank you! :')

Thanks! It’s good to remember that other people view at me a little bit differently than I do

Thanks! Lentis are awesome! They are indeed very versatile! I love cooking with them

Thanks for pointing out the diminishing returns and to focus on other things with greater returns! That is a great way of living. Also for saying I shall enjoy life/sports and not worry too much about body anymore.

Thanks for giving me advice on how to approach my current situation and how to choose and go either way!

I think it is a noble goal to feel and experience hunger and be ok with it. So far, I couldn’t reach that point. Maybe some day but right now I am happy having small breakfast - which is basically the only difference between IF and a normal diet for me

Thanks! I’ll focus on it a little more!

Thanks! Enjoy the path!

I only do rows and pull downs for my back

Thanks for pointing it out! Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a link to the study that they refer to. There are a couple of studies and it seems like not eating too much is “save”. Like not eating too much salt or sugar.

I’m still waiting for the study that shows that any amount of erythrol is bad for you. There’s no study that showed that eating a cake now and then with erythrol is bad for you. I mean, neither is sugar, but in a cut it limits your calorie intake

Isn’t it a problem that there is no big muscle where the skin is? Growing the lower abs to fill that void sounds not doable

Bell pepper, red cabbage, carrot, tomatoes, beets

Funny that yours are green and mine are red!

Does IF work? Does it feel good? I just eat less but the same stuff. I wouldn’t want to be hungry. I never understood how people can stay hungry and not getting hangry

Sure? What about going a little lower from here, 1 or 2kg in order to tiny bulk over summer?

Eating healthy with a great variety of food. I eat as many vegetables as I want, lots of tofu and beans, less and less sugar and alcohol. I’m limiting carbs because of the high energy density. protein target is 0.8-1g per kg of body weight. Going vegan made shopping, cooking, and storing food much easier. I avoid big meals in restaurants, as they usually don’t contain enough protein and have too many carbs and too few vegetables. I’ve also replaced most of the sugar in sweets with erythritol. Of course movement helps but you can’t outrun a bad diet.

Thanks, I am satisfied now! I did it!

The most important part was to find the right balance of food such that I can eat as much as I want, never stay hungry and get enough protein.

Thanks for pointing it out

Thanks! Feels good to hear!

Do you really think that adding muscles in that region can fill the void?

I didn’t lose the weight too quickly and the excess skin had enough time to adjust. I have to admit that it slightly decreased, but not too much.

I also don’t believe that I can gain enough muscle mass to fill that region.

Thanks for the advice! I may look into surgery in the future if I still want to. Accepting that it’ll stay forever like that is tough, but in the longer term, it is a great way to go.

I’ve read about shrinking skin a couple of times, yet I haven’t seen people where it shrunk. Not that I wouldn’t believe it, but I haven’t ever seen someone posting a before/after pic of how happy s/he is that the skin is finally gone.

Thanks for the reminder! It’s important to hear it over and over in order not to develop bad habits
