Time for a Cutting Phase
November 6, 2008 11:52 am Just Random!So for the last couple of months I’ve been working out and eating in a bit of bulking phase. But lately I’ve decided that it’s time to try to cut and lose some of the fat I’ve put on.
Actually, I read an article the other day from Tom Venuto’s BodyBuildingSecrets.com (The Hugo Rivera Mega Interview) that talked about how the better way to do it all is to stay lean and build lean. The way that a lot of people seem to do it is to ‘bulk up’ but in the process put on a lot of fat. Then they spend time trimming down. So you’re constantly putting your body through this extra fat -> low fat cycle. After reading this article it just made more sense to get more lean and then stay lean.
This is what I gather Mark McManus from MuscleHack.com recommends as well. That’s another cool site by the way if you ever want to check it out.
So anyway, just thought I’d share a little note that it’s time to trim down! I’ll probably post updates from time to time on how I’m doing!

Well, I’ve been over 200 for the last couple of months. I just want to lose the fat that I gained as well.

I am really interested in this because I have a friend whose weight is around 130kg and she is very frustrated because of this. Not only the look, but she started to have health problems. I noticed at her this circle you are talking about and it seems she can’t broke it. I will give her the two sites are you talking about.

I dont think gaining weight is easier than losing weight. They’re both as easy, or as hard as each other. For an overweight person its hard to lose weight and for an underweight person its hard to put on weight.

If you already have the body mass but would like to improve your muscle vs. fat ratio, there is no need to try and “bulk up” your diet. As long as you are getting enough protein to build muscle tissue, it should balance out. Besides, one should always avoid getting fat because the body retains fat cells even after the fat appears to be gone. Yeah, it is best to stay lean and build you body up from there, and preferably in a natural fashion.
