    When cutting...

    I looked through some of the online journals - nothing really helped me. I need to lose 20 lbs. I know I should concentrate more on my food - so I was wondering if you think I should do low carb until the weight is off and then bring back more carbs in??? Also - I am having a really big problem figuring my diet out! Can someone help. I will do whatever it takes to lose this weight!!!!!

    Jodi ~

    Thanks for your help - I will look it over and see if I can find foods that work. My body holds protein - I don't pass it like normal people. So I am looking for real food items instead of whey!

    You need to decrease your caloric intake. You just need to figure ou what you maintenance_ level is.

    No way this can be true. Muscles need protein. Do you have any muscle?

    Remember, it's not only about what foods you're taking in. It's WHEN you take them in as well. Try concentrating most of your higher carb/calorie meals earlier in the day/pre workout.

    WAYYY too much cardio!!
    need more fiberous veggies and healthy fats.
    you may also want to have some days where you increase carbs, those are pretty low!

    You do have a substancial amount of cardio. The more weight training you do, the more muscle you will have. And muscle helps increase your BMR (Basal metabolic rate). So, mayb replace one of your cardio sessions with weight training.
