I think I’ll be fine

Pretty much

I lost 30 pounds like 4 years ago because I had terrible heartburn and wasn’t eating

Skinny with a gut

And that was in a month or two

I’ve gained it back though and I think it was mostly from alcohol

For like 2 years I was drinking 1-3 drinks a day

A good website to check out, this guy knows his shit and backs up everything he says with studies.

He has a pretty good program. I'm just too lazy

He's also politically minded aswell

From what I’ve read you can’t really build muscle and lose weight at the same time

You can, it's just not much

They're called newbie gains

I’m going to focus on losing fat and then once I’m down to my goal I’ll start building muscle

New people to lifting usually can do it

You can't build muscle and lose weight at the same time with any sort of gains worth doing

that being said

new lifters experience the best gains

It's little gains

It's more or less leaning out and lifting to preserve what muscle you have

You also gain a small amount

Your quickest gains are when you're just starting out

Last summer I was going to the gym regularly and I gained weight because of my drinking and diet

Yes

Newbie gains

yeah

Diet is most important for losing fat

Yes

Also diet is much more important than lifting fyi sammy

Like

I know fam

not even for just losing fat

your gains will be shit when you build muscle if you eat like shit

Yup

That's why Templar wouldn't drink with us that one night

Alot of people that bulk end up gaining so much fat because they're only concerned with eating enough calories while totally disregarding where the calories are coming from

I’m not really interested in bodybuilding

Neither am I

I just want to get in good shape and be stronger

I'm interested in body recomposition
