Stronglifts 5x5Hey guys. I've been following this program for a couple weeks and wanted to see what kind of results you guys have experienced. I was wondering how long it took you to achieve any sort of considerable fat loss.

Re: Stronglifts 5x51.) What is your current fat%(Original post by 'bob')
Hey guys. I've been following this program for a couple weeks and wanted to see what kind of results you guys have experienced. I was wondering how long it took you to achieve any sort of considerable fat loss.
2.) What is your diet like?
Training does not make you lose fat, diet makes you lose fat.
I have been on SL5X5 for 8 weeks now and have lost about 2 or 3 pounds, but im eating very close to maintainence and still making progress on my lifts. -

Re: Stronglifts 5x5This doesn't make any sense to me. Strength=muscle and muscle = fat loss(Original post by RocknRap)
I wouldn't really associate large amounts of fat loss with a strength programme... -

Re: Stronglifts 5x5I don't know what my fat% is but i have been eating 95% clean and been trying to never eat until im completely full so that i can expend more calories than i eat. But that 2/3 pounds weight loss isn't just fat right? since any muscle growth will increase your muscle mass.(Original post by mikestraws)

Re: Stronglifts 5x5Muscle does not equal fat loss. Fundamental n00b mistake right there(Original post by 'bob')

Re: Stronglifts 5x5Muscle does not = fat loss. To grow muscle requires eating large amounts of calories which will also grow fat.(Original post by 'bob')

Once you have the muscle, it's easier to lose the fat.
2 weeks into a training program and thinks he knows it all

Re: Stronglifts 5x5If you are having issues then try using a diet tracker. I use Livestrong's MyPlate because it has most UK brands on it. It'll help you work out how many calories you can eat too. With fat loose your diet matters more than what specific exercises you are doing

Re: Stronglifts 5x5Well I'm no losing fat, building muscle and losing muscle all at the same time am I?(Original post by 'bob')
But that 2/3 pounds weight loss isn't just fat right? since any muscle growth will increase your muscle mass.
What I'm saying is I'm getting stronger, putting on a bit of muscle and I've lost a bit of fat along the way. How fat are you, what is your height and weight? You need to give us some numbers here.
"been trying never to eat until I'm completely full" what does this mean? -

Re: Stronglifts 5x5You need to drink 1 US Gallon of milk a day to get the best results from starting strength (which is essentially SL 5 x 5)(Original post by 'bob')
