    Continuing our discussion on overfeeding for endomorphs...

    Surely there are some of you reading this forum who started out both weak and obese. SS is so straightforward for those of you who start out weak and skinny, but those among you who have a natural tendency to store fat without much muscle (endomorphic types), how'd the overeating work for you?

    I know at least one of you "sings" often about how SS/70's Big just made you fatter and unhappier. Anyone else?

    5000kj a day is merely an excuse to eat all the junkfood you want.
    It's not needed really.
    Go cleanbulking if you got the cash.

    I was a very fat man, or boy actually. I got up to 270 by the time I was 13 or 14. I lost weight rapidly thanks to the Men's Health philosophy of skim and chicken salads (got to make those abs pop!). I got down to around 200 ish but it felt me with a lot of loose skin. It looks like a deflated beach ball around my midsection.

    Around community college, I got back up to 240ish when I got on the school newspaper. It was stressful and I didn't have time to work out( I cringe as I write this silly bullshit phrase). It was around June that I found SS. I lost 10 lbs within the first couple weeks since I wasn't pay too much attention diet. People have complemented me on how I look more muscular and thinner.

    I weigh about 230 ish now, and according to those BMI calculators out there, I should be borderline obese. I can't comment on fat accumulation on SS since loose skin makes it hard to gauge.

    5000 calories of clean food? That's a lot of chicken breasts.

    Go the fuck away. You're sole existence on this board so far has been to encourage people not to eat as much. There's been no indication that you've actually read any of Rip's books or that you even train.

    No one fucking wants you here, okay? There's plenty of your type elsewhere.

    And for the record, anyone who loses a fuck-ton of weight low carbing has done so because any time you take a macronutrient out of the equation, you're losing a bunch of fucking calories from your daily intake. Low carb only works for about a couple of weeks to upregulate fat metabolism, then you start burning ketones for energy, not increased fat. You have to carb cycle to continue to get those effects.

    Stop talking about "clean" bulking now, you dipshit. It doesn't work. Nobody has the money or the time, except spoiled little shits like you who still live at home with mommy and daddy, koalala, or whatever the fuck your name is.

    By the way, you don't happen to post on the bb.com forums, do you? I've been there, and let me tell you guys, it's fucking weird there. I would advise checking it out at least once just to see the freak show.

    We're talking about somebody who is beginning the program and who's already obese.
    I have read the book and it clearly states that in this situation you should try to maintain your bodyweight and upgrade your diet to a cleaner version.
