    From personal experience, I'm an indian with bad genetics and was fat when I started putting on muscle and it was bad for skin and caused stretch Mark's. My advice: cut your fat down, eat less rice. Once you can see alot of veins then start working out. Make sure to go at a steady pace and put lotion around armpits to prevent stretch Mark's.

      If you're skinny fat, go for recomp. When you add more lean muscle mass, then consider a bulk/cut.

    Fat is free weight, and require energy to carry around. So any cardio will burn more cal, than for a skinny person. Use that extra weight to your advantage instead.
    I would fast 2 days/week, i usually drop 2lb from that, which is like 7days of 1000cal deficit.
    Fasting has loads of benefits, like spike in growth hormones, autophagy, also every day you don't eat anything, you get less hungry. 1st day is a bit rough to get past, but then it's easy; i'm currently on day 3 fasting, not really hungry or thinking about food.
    I dropped from 93-88kg since october, but mostly during december, since i started being more active.
    I did 2 day fast before xmas and dropped from 91-89, binged on xmas, then 3 day fast, and dropped to 88.
    So i'll eat up to 3500cal/day during the week, to build muscle, then fast 2-3days to cut.
    Deficit for months, to burn 30kg fat, sounds so fucking boring, so 2days of boredom/week, is a lot easier.
    Cheers.

    Just remember it takes a long time to build a lot of muscle and it gets harder as you get older. But you can easily cut weight with the right diet and low impact exercise. I say bulk or maintain with your diet on point until you feel that your weight is slowing you down or putting you at risk for injury, then it’s a good time to cut

    • @ZeRo-yc7zf

    Coming from a person that use to be skinny fat, I literally just went to a pescatarian diet for about 3 months and did nothing but swim. I swam for 1 hour every day. Not relaxing in the pool but doing back to back laps switching between legs and arms ONLY. The entire point isn't to lose weight per se, but to lose the excess fat build up. I went from a 180 skinny fat, to a relatively fit 165. After I got to my desired weight, I hit the gym. Dropped swimming altogether, kept the pescatarian diet and added 1 day of eating anything minus sugar. No sugar. It shaved off a lot of fat and definitely saw definition night and day.
    In short, I didn't immediately hit the gym. I went 3 months just swimming and dieting. That's it. Its amazing what your body will do for you if you get your heart pumping and target muscle groups swimming.

    Maybe I am completely mistaken.
    But starting with a recomp seems like it is almost always the best solution...
    Just eating what you normally do while weighttraining is the most sustainable.
    When cutting AND weighttraining your body will go into starvation mode and you will have less energy and moodchanges, which leads you to going to the gym less, being in a worse mood and more.
    Just recomp. Let your body build all that muscle with the help of you excess fat. EAT ENOUGH PROTEIN so you are satiated much quicker and changes will come.
    I am 31 and just started my lifting career about 1-2 months ago. I weighed 90 kilos back then, still do now, but my tummy isn't half as big anymore. I didn't have to strain my body, just good diet and rest and good training.
    Is cutting more effective? Maybe a tiny bit...
    Is it FAR more likely they stay with a recomp rather than a strenuous diet/excercise plan that is entirely not enjoyable, especially for newcomers? 100%.
    Is recomping going to get you your dream physique? Certainly not. But it will get you started. What did you save all that bodyfat for, if you aren't going to use it?

      In theory maybe, but there are several issues:

      (2) You will bore yourself to death using just those tools.
      (3) You will find it difficult to constantly increase stimulus (add weights, find more demanding exercises) if you just train at home.
      (4) It's less motivating to train at home for several reasons.
      (5) ...

    Skinny fat read! I was skinny fat 180cm 79kg, age 30. Big belly, skinny arms and legs and no muscles. I was untrained with 0 cardio and started working out 5-6 times a week for 5 months. My belly just got bigger and didnt see any muscles, only minor strenght gains. I listened to all these people saying go bulk or maintenance and I said fuck it. 2 months later I am now 72kg and my belly is almost gone. My arms and back look more defined. I look fit for the first time ever with good posture. I started cutting eating 2g/kg protein working out 6 times a week, no cardio first month(just lazy). Lose around 0,5kg each week and focus on eating a lot of FAT aside from your protein goal. I eat 1tbs walnut butter and maybe 60g avocado everyday, add olive oil to salad. Compound lifts(Push, Legs, Pull), squats, deadlift etc. I started adding low impact cardio after my workout, cycling for 25min and this has improved my cardio and performance. I ate basically similar things everyday and started removing rice(i ate alot of it before). I dont count calories but when you eat similar everyday then you have control. Train with good form and you can get gains on a caloric deficit. Your welcome!

    I gained probably 20-30 kg plus on my body and had this little belly and sidefat on my mainbody( or how you call it sorry my neglish is not so perfect ).
    It comes down due to my low activity sicne that, my lot of food intake, and even tho I was a bit happy about it because I always was so freaking skinny due to the running( except my legs ), now its getting to be out of hand.
