Do the same thing again. It might be harder this time

Eat less food lift more weights, high intensity cardio twice a week

Rome wasn't built in a day and neither will you brother. If you want to stay natural keep doing what you're doing- you've made great progress already. Add some fish oil and make sure to eat alot of fiber as well. I'd stay away from oral pro hormones and such.

I'm in my 20s with high T. I found it easy to drop my extra 10 pounds, and 'convert' (in the context of weight) another 10lb to muscle.

I did this by focusing on lifting heavy and cutting out the worst of junk food. And unhealthy "healthy" food (some breads)

I gained muscle, which increased my metabolism, which caused me to lost fat.

All without cardio, which I find to be a inefficient way to burn calories

I dropped ~30lbs in 2-3 months just doing intermittent fasting. It's funny because I started doing it due to not wanting to pack a lunch for work. I'm now about as shredded as I've ever been.

In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan is the best book on nutrition I've ever read, by far. Following that diet and lifting weights will help you more than anything else will.

Keep it up bro!

I'm on a recomp. Muscle burns more calories at rest(50calories per 1lb). Increase your calories by 250-500 calories and do more compound resistance training. Free weights, bodyweight,or bands...take your pick. You'll lose fat,building muscle,and reshape your body aesthetics at the same time.

" I am at a weight I can be comfortable "

Dr. Cox:The key to my exercise program is this one simple truth: I hate my body. You understand that the second you look in the mirror and you're happy with what you see, baby, you just lost the battle.

So keep going! "good enough" isn't the best you can be. :)

well done and keep going strong!

Good job. To give you a more accurate estimation, that is around 25-28% body fat, even slightly more. Regardless, that is still good progress you made. If you aren't hitting the iron just yet, well, now is a good time for you to get your ass to the gym and get it done. It will support you on your weight loss journey, and you get to enjoy the fruits of your hard work.

Second thing, make sure your diet is in check. If you stopped losing weight, you will have to increase the deficit further as a result, be it eating one less meal or perhaps reducing carb intake.

Thirdly, get enough sleep and let your body recover. During summer, I do not set alarms while I am back home and since I do high-intensity workouts, I make sure I am getting in at least 9 hours of sleep. Your circadian rhythms will naturally fix themselves if you are active during the day and you will not oversleep.

As you keep losing more weight, it is very important that you keep lifting heavy, at all costs. Any garbage like doing higher reps because you're dieting is utter nonsense and may very well result in more muscle loss. Lastly, make sure you incorporate around 20-30 minutes of cardio prior to or post-workout. If you do it in nature, it is less of a bore.

Good shit

You need to be more disciplined. I went from 232 to 168 in 4 months over 2 years ago. I ate 1000 calories per day for 8 weeks and do 6 days per week in the gym. I upped my calories after 8 weeks but maintain an intense workout regimen and have 6 pack abs now. There is no reason to spend another year to reach your target. If you want it badly enough, you will do it.

Just be on a calorie deficit and if you get to a point where you don’t want to drop your calories even further, then just add in cardio to burn off extra calories.
