Lose weight? I am one of the lucky ones and have no problem losing weight. When I stopped competing I was 290lbs. 6 months later I was 230lbs. I just quit eating as much. No cardio, no drugs just stop shoving so much food down my mouth. My biggest problem is fighting to keep weight on.

Beverly is a line of supplements. UNP is one of their proteins. They make quality stuff, but they’re not cheap

Losing weight is kinda my expertise. I am 100% a Meso. I put on muscle fast but I put on fat easy as well. Over the years I have tried every diet. Every compound. They all work to an extent. Clen, T3, ECA, ect...

@ 32 I had just done my second amature comp competed at 205 6.5% at 5'11 . I had been working out regularly since the age of 15 but I credit this condition to test prop and tren I was running 100mg prop 50mg tren ED. Along with really being focused on my diet and using macro nutrition (RIP Swolecat who helped me alot with contest prep diets). I was so in love with test and tren I used it for bulking after the comp. Stayed on about 8 months then my life fell apart (divorce, Kids all that) and I stopped working out mid cycle. Before you ask it was not the Tren. My ex was just fire and I was ice. My temperment does well on tren. So now back to my down fall... Depression weight gain the whole deal. Years later I found myself at 320 lbs fat weak and out of shape. That takes me up to around a year ago. From 320 lbs > to 230 lbs (size 46 waste to a 36 in waste) in just under a year. Tirzepatide worked wonders. Added low doses of test (TRT) from my doctor a couple months ago. Going to the gym 6 days a week. Super hard training has gotten my lift to where I can almost be proud again. I'm nowhere near where I wanna be but I can take my shirt off at the beach again :) No 6pac yet but I see the outlines...barley :(

Now that my training is getting more intense I'm considering switching to reta. My eating habits are great for weight loss after a year of Tirzep but they are horrible for muscle growth. I'm more hungry now than I have been all year due to my training but thats still hardly at all. I don't think I need the appetite depressant any more. I need to consume more clean calories and Tirzep won't encourage that. I'll probably make the switch in Dec or Jan when I will hopefully ad some real anabolics to my diet. By then I should be close to 200 lbs--------
I remember Swolecat from the GotFina days.

Yes, make the switch from tirzepatide to retatrutide. Much better for a bodybuilding lifestyle. If the retatrutide doesn't curb the cravings enough, you can add a little tirzepatide back in. Like .25 mg 2-3x a week.

For me when I dropped from 285+ down to my current weight 225-230, I did it very slowly and didn't use any AAS differently than my TRT. It took me 2 years to drop it which imo is the smart way to do. The first year, I got down to like 250 and the 2nd I dropped to where I'm holding now and that's been a few years. Made the decision it wasn't wise to hold onto that much mass anymore. I'm not competing and it's not healthy to be that big at my age so I downsized.

Swole was a good bro. He used to reach out to me for mod type stuff on AR in the beginning. Then once we got to know each other he helped me a ton with diet. He used to work with guys on their contest prep dieting in the real world. He was very smart with nutrition and a huge loss to the whole community when he passed. Lost too many guys over the years. He was one of the good guys though.

I haven't done a hard cut in several years. I do it old school. High protein and manipulate deficit and metabolism using carbs and fats. I do not aim for stage or some ideal 6% BF target ever. Whenever I got close to that it was to make a weight class for a judo competition. The only reason I would do that now would be to teach my body to get lean and ride the rebound to put on some mass. But at 64 putting on mass is not smart. so I hang at 195 to 205 and just recomp when I want to look a little sharper. That is not much more than a minicut and eating super clean at mild deficit with high protein for 4-6 week with a pinch of test, primo and GH in place.

The most likely way to lose weight for me was always fasting, until I discovered that taking either caffeine or L-carnitine THEN fasting works way better for fat burning.

If you like caffeine while fasting you should try ECA stacks or clen. I always found clen on an empty stomach was amazing. ECA stacks are no longer legally sold in the US but there are over the counter meds that can be taken with all of the ingredients. It's like caffeine on steroids. The ephedra and aspirin really boost the caffeine's effects.

I remember the days of ECA stacks- when you could go to a Vitamin shop and get it off the shelf!! was amazing stuff for sure!

Just get Primatene tabs from the pharmacy, swing around the corner and pick up some caffeine tabs and baby aspirin. Now you have an ECA stack.
