A Little Help with bodyfat
Hey i've been lifting weights now for about two years
and have had my bodyfat measured on scales at 15.9%
but dont know how reliable it is as i definitly dont think that
i look around that, i dont see much of a six pack anyway lol!
I was just wondering as a person new to this game if you could give
me a few tips on how to lose body fat, i'm afraid that too much cardio
will lose the muscle that i have.
Also wondering if i could get any traning tips as well?
Would be very appreciated!

Try buying the book Abs Diet. It has a good structured diet plan including recipes for breakfast,lunch, and dinner. It will get you on the fast track to losing fat.

in addition to diet being the most important when you're cutting...try to focus your attention on your measurements and progress pictures rather than your estimates bf%. tanitas, calipers, etc are fine for a general idea but have a margin for error or +/- 3% give or take.
