I haven't encountered a physically fit individual who has struggled to lose weight
I do daily exercise, have done strength training for years, and am careful of what I eat and how much of it — even with this scheme it’s not easy to keep my weight at its present level, so while I’m definitely physically fit, it is a big struggle to avoid gaining weight.
If I compare my activities, food intake, etc. to those of my slim peers, it’s clear that the cards are just stacked differently.
- Herring 15y ago>I do daily exercise, have done strength training for years Mixing those two is a bad sign, because strength training takes a while to recover from. You might be doing something wrong -- how much do you squat?
- sorbits 15y agoYou might be doing something wrong I am aware of restoration period for muscle tissue rebuilding — I have struggled with this for 10+ years (getting my BMI down from above 28 to around 22 in that period) and have of course read plenty related to weight loss (metabolism, calories, strength-training) hoping to find the silver bullet, but there is none (for me), it’s just a lot of hard work, hence why I felt mrtron’s comment deserved a reply.
- Herring 15y agoWell I don't know any of that unless you post your back squat. If youre doing strength trainng correctly, the absolute lowest you should be lifting is 250lb for the back squat after at most 6 months. You might get better results with less work if you do it correctly.
