fat pad and visceral fat

[BBC Action]

So much to challange here I don;t know if I can be bothered .
"Proper " training well as I said injury affected my normal training practise . My experience and from what I have seen over prolonged time in gyms around athletes etc is that muscle loss is not "extreamly hard".

Can we keep on thread

If you can read properly, I stated muscle loss is very hard to achieve if diet is in check. Meaning you are eating enough to maintain.

Again what i have seen is a number of factors can cause muscle loss like injury .
Anyway I will leave it to members to draw their own conclusions .

On thread my diet has started well . I have of course several goals which can be hard to combine but so far so good .

So the kilo and frac of inch waist measure I gained since last dexa seem to have gone . I think I might have lost off the pad but I can't measure accurate enough to be sure.

Waist has gone down a little more but weight still around 100 kg.

This likely means you're gaining muscle mass but losing fat.

I have reached a plateau in weight loss and will be altering my diet again, cutting carbs ad sugars seem to have workeed best for me in the past. My new diet:

Bowl of oatmeal mixed with protein powder and blueberries or 1/2 banana
protein Shake (post workout)

6 eggs 1/4 cup pf cheese and sriracha
Apple

Vegetables and entree salad w/ lemon juice

Vegetables and entree (stir fry)


basically chicken salads/stir fry

This likely means you're gaining muscle mass but losing fat.

One can hope I am achieving this difficult feat . Of course I can't do weekly dexa's and have to await the test at the end of the diet period.

Hate to join the conversation so late, but I am interested in the fat pad reduction idea.

I have virtually no fat pad, but this is not due to low body fat, but due to core work that causes the beer to ride higher on my body.

I do lots of exercises that target the core area, and therefore help lift the fat off the pad, so to speak. I do planking and other stuff. However, I injured my wrist last summer, and that has limited some of the yoga I can do. As as result the fat that normally sits high on my belly is migrating down to cause me to start having a half inch fat pad. I fear it will get worse.

If you can reverse the fat pad accumulation back when continuing core exercising you have solved the question in this thread. There are a lot of ab exercises to do with injured wrist, even with a cast if it can handle bit of sweating. Crunches, hollow body, leg raises on foam roller etc. where hands don't need to touch the ground. Maybe even planking with elbows contacting the floor instead of push up position too.
