Weight / Fat loss

I'm just doing weights - following "Starting Strength" by Mark Riptoe.

I haven't lost any weight as I am following the recomposition plan, where you have 20% more calories than you should on training days, and 20% less on non-training days, so you stay the same weight, but put on muscle at the same time as loosing fat.

If you were interested in loosing weight, you could opt for a +10%/-20% split

You realise that you are "not doing the programme" right? Well not strictly at least. SS is a beginner weight training programme designed to pack on as much useful muscle mass in the shortest time possible - in the most simple way.

This involves more than a bit of gluttony. Focusing so hard on staying lean and restricting diet will kill the longeivity of the "programme" and the easy novice strength gains you can get by simply eating enough.

I did it a couple years back, went from 64kg to 80kg and everyone kept telling me it was amazing how much weight I had LOST!!!

I did not restrict my diet in anyway though.
