Is a 1000 daily calorie deficit too much?

>>76289175 (OP)
sometime i think that a deficit that severe is the only thing that works. i tried doing 200-500 and i just plateaued, even with daily cardio.

>>76289198
How much did u lose?

>>76289175 (OP)
It lost me 46kg in 11 months, just taper down gradually. 1000 a day IMMEDIATELY will shock the system and your fat ass will hang onto every gram. Your metabolism WILL slow down as a result of this instant shock.

>>76289175 (OP)
Yes./thread

>>76289175 (OP)
If you can maintain it, it isn't.
>>76289198
For how long have you plateaued?
>>76289409
Retard boomer dieting logic.

Count out your tdee and then eat 1000 less calories and you will lose 1kg a week.
Jojo dieting never works and fat loss should be slow and steady

>>76289175 (OP)
No. No way. You'll fuck up, there will be weird social issues with not eating, someone will die and there's funeral beers you have to have, etc. Banking the calories is smart because then you just expect fuckups and try to recover quickly vs have an autistic /fit/ meltdown.

>>76289175 (OP)
Not if you're planning with an end date in mind. You go to that large of a deficit you should not expect to maintain that discipline for more than 2 to 3 months before the misery starts to win

>>76289198
yeah
if you go slow your metabolism eventually slows down or just breaks and you're fucked and just wasting time and effort

>>76289794
Its the opposite. If you have a huge deficit early on eventually you'll adapt and won't be able to cut more without suffering greatly

>>76289175 (OP)
idk but lost me 17kg since march

>>76289559
I ate 500-600 less for a week and lost 1.5-2kg (0.5kg was probably water weight or I may have been bloated a week ago). I think I counted something wrong.

>>76289811
>adapt
"Body adaption" is just you being lazy

>>76289175 (OP)
the goal of a successful diet is to never be truely hungry.

>>76289175 (OP)
i've been in a ~500 kcal deficit for two months and i can't take a normal dump, i'm either constipated or have to crap three times a day

>>76289175 (OP)
I posted this in cbt but I've went from 6'2" @ 202 to 180 in like 40 days with a 1000-1200 cal deficit
Here is before

>>76290071
And two days ago. Definitely lost a bit of strength but not much, and the fast results have been nice.

>>76290079
did you purposely give yourself a half chub for the second photo?

>>76289175 (OP)
This >>76289198
If it's don't suck, it isn't fast enough.
If you have the patience and time, sure just do a 250 - 500kcal a day fitness industry deficit.
But if you want results, a cut starts at 750kcal - 1200kcal deficit.

>>76290086
No but I'm not above it

>>76290079
Lol this is actually from the 12th so more like 30 days. 1200 works

>>76289884
Sorry you got upset at factual information

>>76290092
>be you

>get an erection
>start rutting
>take a photo mid rut for /fit/

>>76289175 (OP)
Currently I'm fasting 3 days out of every week.
Fat is melting and I feel great. I've done this only a couple of weeks and my biggest concern is trying to figure out every week if my bf% is too low to do it.

Looking good! You should check your body fat using https://leanlens.ai

>>76289175 (OP)
retards love to say that you should deficit slowly and prolonged, when in fact the opposite is better for losing bellyfat

>>76290079
Nice!

my personal strategy is to start on a huge deficit, like 1200-1500 and then slowly increase calories over a few months until reaching maintenance

>>76289175 (OP)
Yes it's too much.
You will crash to quickly and even if you keep with it your metabolism will slow down too much that you will still be in a caloric surplus and any weight you lose during this time will come back.
Do a 200-400 calorie deficit and move more, as you lose weight, every 5 or so lbs reduce another 100 calories and increase volume and intensity of exercise.
This will prevent metabolic adaptations preventing you from regaining the weight later on, eventually you will see no more weight loss from this strategy but if you keep increasing activity you can actually eat more and keep losing weight because by exercising more you will increase your metabolism and burn calories just by existing as opposed if you keep cutting calories back your body will desperately try to hold to fat and reduce your metabolism so your energy levels drop, you stop losing fat and even with small meals you gain weight.

>>76289198
Whenever you plateau you have to self adjust by either eating less or moving more, ideally a bit of both.

>>76289175 (OP)
Yes. Better to fast at that point.

>>76289175 (OP)
No such as thing as too much. Imo it's infact even better. Do you want to be on a deficit for 6 months or 3 months? Way better to just get it over with. It's not like being on a deficit for half a year is "good" either.

The marginal amount of muscle you might lose more on a 1000 deficit compared to 500 is so small, once you start eating back on a maintenance, thanks to muscle memory, you re-gain that difference in like 1-2 weeks anyways. You DEFINITELY gain it back in 1-2 months 100% no questions asked whatsoever, so in every case it's faster and more "optimal" to go on as big deficit as you can handle.

>>76292574
kill yourself

>>76292648
muscle memory is actually a good point, thank you

>>76292659
You need to have muscles for that.

>>76289175 (OP)
I have done it, would recommend doing it one week on and one week off.

If you gorge down 7000 kcal a day of pure slop, a 1000 kcal deficit isn't gonna do a damn thing

>>76289198
You're likely just undercounting your calories to the tune of ~500 thus the only thing that "works" is cutting what you think is ~1000 calories but what is in actuality ~500.

>>76289175 (OP)
Depends on your body weight
Im not a fat fuck nor skinny, just 8kg overweight and 1200 deficit was barely enough to make me feel more hunger than usual

>>76293230
>According to this ridiculous nonsense situation I made up, no, the commonly done and effective thing you want to do won't work

>>76293230
>If you gorge down 7000 kcal a day of pure slop, a 1000 kcal deficit isn't gonna do a damn thing
Yes it will retard. If you eat 7000 kcals a day but somehow then burn 8000 kcals a day (nearly impossible but this is your retarded scenario where you have a 1000 kcal deficit on a 7000 kcal intake) you would lose weight at a rate of about 2lbs a week.

Depends on if you want to risk your ability to get boners

>>76289175 (OP)
I'm currently on an around 2000 calories deficit cut and these are the results I got in one month. I lost 15lbs.

The faster the better, I'm eating 800cal a day at 5'6 trying to reach single digits BF while you nigs can eat 1500-2k and still lose weight, stop being gay and just power thru that shit.

As usual, the math in CICO success stories never adds up, in spite of CICO being advertised as pure math, for example in

how bad is the hunger?

>>76298212
No hunger, if you exclude sugar withdrawal symptoms, appetite is reduced actually.
