Title says it all, i want to lose weight and also build some muscle, ive have been hitting the gym and cutting my calories by 500-900cal for the past two months, while i am seeing some muscle growth, its not very substantial or something people around me will notice, ive also lost about 2kgs which is not much so i am thinking of doing a 200cal surplus for a month to see how it goes I wanted to get some advice as well as read other people’s experiences
What lifts are you doing?
If you focus on compound lifts (bench, chin-ups, squats), and push them to your limit, you will burn an insane amount of calories.
As for losing weight - my buddy lost 35lbs in 6 months, just by eating paleo (all natural foods).
On top of that, if you go for a full-sprint every day (or a mile jog), it will kick your metabolism into another gear.
