I wouldn’t even weigh yourself at all for a month. Your wieght at this point is not an accurate measure of your progress if you are lifting. instead just maintain your diet and lift and do energy work. what kinda energy work are you doing?
Trying to burn some fat and maintain muscle… Any suggestions? I’m on Lipo6 right now, any suggestions on Fahrenheit or another product that will burn my fat, includes fiber, and maintains my muscle? Would love some feedback… PM me
i dont know. im a little freaked out right now. i just finished my cardio this morning and i appeared to look “fatter” my stomach was hanging down farther than usual. im really get mixed ideas now.

my suggestion… reap benefits of FIBER. You are probably retaining water, or you may be having too much sodium which will cause bloating. Try to get some more fiber in your diet, apples have a good amount so watch your sodium, drink water over most drinks and green tea will help you lose some water retention… hope thathelps

An hour of cardio everyday seems like a lot. Maybe try to cut it down to 4x/week at about 40 mins on an empty stomach.[/quote]
Agreed.
However, if you are overweight, those extra days can help. Try to keep you cardio for 5-6 days a week, but lessen your time to 35-40 mins. Make sure you have a high intensity cardio workout. Less resistance, and faster movements held for a longer time will show you your benefits from cardio- don’t be fooled by high resistance, keep it lower

i am walking on an incline at 3.0mph for an hour everyday. you think i should stop weighing myself so i dont get mixed ideas about my progress?[/quote]
Bro, I’m sorry, but 3.0mph for an hour is not cardio.
3.0mph, walking, is going to burn some energy.
But you gotta learn to run.
Or do some eliptical, at fast speeds.
You can’t just go at 3.0 mph and expect it to work wonders. That’s walking.
I don’t care what people say about walking being the best way to lose weight. In my opinion: it isn’t.
You gotta BURN BURN BURN BURN energy if you want to lose weight.

Today’s training tip comes from Dr. Lonnie Lowery:
Biking Vs. Uphill Walking
Why do bodybuilders obsess over the stationary bicycle? Not only do you burn fewer calories on an exercise bike during a given session compared to natural walking or jogging, but you’re also concentrating the exertion mostly onto your quads, which could cause some loss of leg mass due to hampered recovery (personal observation). I think uphill walking at three miles per hour on a treadmill at a heart rate between 120 and 136 beats per minute rocks for direct fat loss while minimizing interference with muscle recovery.
thats what im basing my info from but im willing to try new things that i have done time and time again.
ill go back on the ellipticals for 30mins a day at a high intesity with low resistance or i am ready to give up my gym membership and go workout at a gym for mma fighting. i see everyone who goes in there is out of shape then they show up two months later ripped to fucking shreads.
stomach biggest part 45 1/4 last week 45 3/4
bi righ 17 left 16 1/2 last week right 17 left 17
quad right 30 3/4 left 30 1/2 last week right 31 1/8 left 30 14/16
chest 45 1/4 last week 45 1/2
waist 45 3/4 last week 46 1/2
some nice improvements i guess. im going to be buying the anabolic diet book soon as i am also going to start working out for mma and quit my gym. luckly i can weight train at my college for free since i am an athlete there. im in my off season for my sport until febuary so ill be weight training until then and stopping most of my mma and 1/2 lifting 1/2 sport from febuary until may. i will end this diet and begin the anabolic diet in another three-five weeks depending on how well i can read. lol.
