Just wanted to revisit my thread and give an update. I took all the advice here and hit my cut super hard from end of April until now.
I am a relatively lean guy but due to undiagnosed insulin resistance and probably too much alcohol over the years I developed quite a bit of visceral and subcutaneous fat around my midsection. Even when dieting and lifting I could never get rid of it.
Anyways based on all the good advice at the end of April I:
- started low dose Tirz 2.0 mg per week
- started Metformin 1000 mg per day prescribed by my endo for insulin resistance
- bumped up my levothyroxine dose a bit
- dieted super strictly at 1950 calories per day. Kept carbs to under 150g usually under 120g.
- continued to hit the gym without missing
- added LISS cardio stated 2x per week 20 mins per session fasted with yohimbine now I am up to 100 - 120 mins a week in total include post lifting. Would like to do more but a bit maxed for time.
With the above I lost a bit more than 15 lbs but more important I lost 2.5 inches from my waist (6.5 cm) and my BF went from around 18.5 to 13.5%.
The fat literally was melting off at one point.
I didnt get visible abs unfortunately but I am close.
Going to stop this cut here cause I am too skinny and need to focus on building muscle at the moment. I am also tired of dieting. But I am extremely proud and happy with the results. Thanks all.
