At 19 you are still very young with some "puppy fat".
You look just fine and have a heavier build (like a Rugby Player).
Bigger is better.
Who looks good when they are skinny ....

sikdogg said:Cutting diets are generally not good for building muscle, but if well planned you should lose very little muscle while dropping serious bodyfat. You really have to decide which is most important to you, keeping all your muscle AND FAT or losing a little muscle to lose most of your fat.
Low carb diets force your body to use fat (as ketones) for energy, how will this encourage fat storage?? If you eat often so you body is well nourished and don't eat too much surplus calories, there won't be much to store as fat.

ggogeta said:Sure, but the minute you start eating more fat I'd guess the body isnt used to it anymore and you get more fat storage. It's like the people who follow a strict diet... and their stomac shrinks a bit because it does not need to be big anymore. They lose fat rapidly, but then they can't take it anymore and start eating again, and then, because the body isn't made for such a big ammount of food could make that into fat. That's called the "yo-yo" effect right. (people gaining more than they lost)
I thought it was the same for low fat / carb diet. once you start to eat those again in greater qty, it has a bigger effect on you. But that was just an assumption from me.
sikdogg said:The yo-yo effect comes from people with no self-control or ones that just don't know any better. These people only know two ways to eat... either they starve themselves or the gorge themselves. They don't stop and think for a moment...when you're on calorie restriction, you can't just start eating like you did before. You have to slowly add calories back into your diet. Think about it... if you go back to eating the way you did to get fat, what do you think the result will be?? Losing weight and keeping it off is a lifestyle change... and it's forever.
ggogeta said:That all makes sense I just thought you could store more fat from a bag of chip after lest's say some months ( say, years) of stricter diet, than before. Because the body isnt used to it anymore.
I dunno it that's clear.
Anyways I think a good normal ratio of all carbs/fat/protein + exercice will lead you eventually to a normal weight. If you want faster results, substract some 100-200 calories ( and be intelligent on the choice of what you eat) and that's it. it's a no-brainer.
what's hard might be to CHANGE your habbits.

I know a member on this forum who had a near heart attack from ONE PILL. Don't take that risk.
Also, your gyno is pretty mild. The best way to get rid of gyno is taking an aromatase inhibitor, such as arimidex. An estrogen receptor blocker might also be effective (don't take both at the same time though--dangerous and will hurt gains).
As far as the protein intake, high protein diets burn fat--period. But the kidneys will take a huge beating if you continue to consume a diet based entirely off meat or whatever. The gluconeogenesis diet worked great for me. It was based off of 40% protein, 40% carbs, and 20% fat. I bet it would have worked better if I decreased the carbs to 30% and increased the fat to 30%. Keep the calories at or below maintenance, and watch the fat fly off!

AlreadyPackin' said:And a lot of THEM like skinny cut guys. This dude has a good base to start from. He's got good arms, and he shouldn't have any problems building up his chest. I personally keep my bodyfat low, and I gain a little muscle at a time, and not much fat at all. But not everyone's metabolism makes it so easy to stay lean. I have a hard time gaining weight sometimes, but ironically I gained more weight when I cut my protein intake down.
goldmember said:I wish this guy would post so we don't think he ended up in the hospital from CLEN...
sikdogg said:Clen/T3 cycles are pretty common in the bodybuilding world... as long as you ramp up and ramp back down, you shouldn't have any problems.
sikdogg said:For a first cycle, you could have gone lower on the dose and still make great gains... but it's all good. I'm glad you did some research and actually planned your cycle. Most first timers start without ever thinking of PCT.
It would be great if you could post you starting stats and update as your cycle progresses... i think alot of bros would be interested in seeing how it works out for you. good luck bro.
