are you looking to drop 4% body fat (to 11) or get to 4%(which is hard and most competitive bodybuilders compete at that level or more even).

a low fat diet is not the answer. you need healthy fats in your diet regardless of your goals.

post your current diet. also, have you read the stickies on dieting?

4% ain't no good man, at least for extended periods of time i was hovering around that level for awhile

At 6 fott 200lbs and 15% bf I would focus on putting on some muscle and trying to lean out at the same time with a consistent clean diet and good traiing program. A serious diet that is going to get you to 4% will make you nothing but really skinny. Don't you want to be lean and a decent size at the same time? Or do you want to be a stick figure?

he must be pretty new to it, or else he'd say 8% or something

i dont think he knows how low 4% is

Skib · 03-26-2004, 12:21 AM

yeah 4% is REALLY low dude... even at 8-10% you'd still be pretty lean... if you really wanna cut i'd aim for 10-12% first and then go from there if less body fat is what you think you want (which you won't want)

**Prince** · 03-26-2004, 01:14 AM

as the others said, unless you're gonna compete there is no reason to get down to 4%.

JerseyDevil · 03-26-2004, 04:52 AM

4% would be next to impossible to maintain. Just looking at cheat food will cause you to pick up 1% or so.

9-10% is a much more realistic goal.

**CowPimp** · 03-27-2004, 07:17 PM

If I were you then I would just do more cardio while decreasing your caloric intake a couple hundred per day or none at all. I have the same stats as you: 6 foot, 200 pounds, 15% bodyfat.

When I was doing cardio my bodyfat was more like 12%. I cut down my cardio a lot (I still do it once or maybe twice per week for 20 minutes) to help me bulk. My metabolism goes out of control when I jog more than 5 miles per week; I was doing about 12 miles a week before. I was eating A LOT of food too.

all depends on genetics and how "off" a healthy eating path they venture.

you definetly some cardio, do 3x week HITT in the morning before you eat breakfast.
